Electron transfer (ET) processes in peptides and proteins are key steps in the functioning of several natural enzymes including DNA photolyase and ribonucleitide reductase,...

This proposal requests 6 days beamtime on the Polaris diffractometer to study the nature of the local structure within two systems which have been reported to show a solid...

Both BiFeO3 and KNbO3 are technologically important materials. BiFeO3 exhibs room temperature magnetic and ferroelectric ordering whilst KNbO3 is a lead free ferroelectric....

We request 9 days on TOSCA to study (i) the interaction of adsorbed H2 gas molecules with a gated indium-based metal-organic framework (MOF) NOTT-200 as a function of H2 and...

We propose to study the influence of deposition rates and annealing effects on microporous amorphous solid water samples (ASW) using NIMROD. The data will allow us to monitor...

The atoms in solid helium are weakly bound and have small mass so that the overlap of their wave functions (zero point motion) is large, making it a quantum solid close to the...

Our goal is to understand the role of POPS, a lipid component only found in the inner leaflet of plasma membrane, in the organization of cholesterol in cell membranes. Our...

Over the past few decades, fuel cell research has grown exponentially with the continued development of new materials and systems for automotive and stationary applications....

The use of the J 0-to-1 rotational transition of dihydrogen has been extensively used to characterise the state if hydrogen in and on materials. The disadvantage of studying the...

Blends of fullerenes with conjugated polymers (CP), such as PCBM-P3HT blends, are being extensively investigated for polymer photovoltaic applications. We have been studying the...

In recent incoherent inelastic neutron scattering experiments we have shown that the anharmonic single-particle dynamics of H2 can be measured with high precision in quantum...

A recent beautifully resolved INS spectrum of solid ammonia shows distinct differences in phonon states compared to initial calculation. This suggests that strong...

The reaction of methanol to form hydrocarbons over zeolite catalysts is an important option for conversion of natural gas or coal to liquid fuels. We have shown previously via...

Super proton conductors are in the focus of interest because of their use in low temperature fuel cells. In this project we try to obtain information on proton mobility,...

With fantastic flux gains over its liquid conterpart, a solid methane moderator is essential to the newly built Second Target Station at ISIS. Unfortunately, it is notoriously...

The compound, Si5O(PO4)6, is a component of a solid phosphoric acid catalyst, it has highly unusual coordination of the silicon (octahedral, as well as the more common...

The structure of colloidal crystals (dispersions of particles that spontaneously order in a regular array) is known to be influenced by solid boundaries. However there are few...

H2 and D2 are simple systems which can be used to bench mark the accuracy of VESUVIO measurements. Previous measurements performed in 2008 indicate the presence of an intensity...

This proposed work is aimed at investigating self-linking behaviour of smectite clays in aqueous suspension. The mechanism of the interaction could be understood by applying...

Migration and surface segregation of low molecular weight oligomers in adhesive formulations is a poorly understood, but hugely important phenomenon, responsible for most of the...
