Molecular Dynamics in Polymer Nanocomposites
Our aim is to determine whether the fast dynamics, of either the backbone or the phenyl ring of polystyrene, are altered by the presence of carbon nanotubes, and, if so, whether... -
A new plastic phase in PCBM from low-energy inlelastic neutron scattering
Phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) is a fullerene-based material of high technological interest due to its use in organic solar photovoltaic cells. A better... -
Hydrogen from ammonia using lithium imide metal nitride composites
Light metal amides and imides are a new class of highly active ammonia decomposition catalysts. Indeed, composites of lithium imide and transition metal nitrides are likely to... -
Molecular motions in novel water-soluble organometallic gels
The aim of this proposal is to study the internal dynamics of a novel organometallic polymers based on two metal-containing moieties -Ru, Au- bridged through a tridentate... -
Monomer dynamics in polymer nanocomposites
We have recently shown that the addition of single walled carbon nanotubes produces a minimum in the diffusion coefficient with increasing nanoparticle concentration. Initially,... -

Ammonia synthesis using lithium hydride-metal nitride composites: an in situ ...
The development of more active catalysts for the production of ammonia will have a worldwide impact on the energy cost of producing fertiliser. Composites of lithium hydride and... -
Electrostatic interaction effects in orientationally disordered phases
Plastic phases are characterized by a positional ordering of the molecular centers of mass while molecules are rotating in a hindered way. Therefore these phases are... -
Hydrogen production from ammonia using lithium imide: an isotope study
We have recently discovered that light metal amides and imides are excellent cattalysts for the decomposition of ammonia. We request 3 days on POLARIS to perform in situ neutron... -
Understanding the decomposition of ammonia by lithium-calcium imide
Among light metal amide-imide catalysts for ammonia decomposition, lithium-calcium imide is the most promising candidate for practical application. Ex situ diffraction data... -
Correlation between local dynamics and shape of SDS micelles
This is in continuation with our earlier proposal (RB910248) for which experiment was carried out during August 2009. Fast segmental dynamics of surfactants in rod-like... -
Magnetic structure of the doped room temperature honeycomb magnet (SrCa)Ru2O6
We propose the investigation of the magnetic structure in the room temperature magnet SrRu2O6 and its doped variants. Crystallizing in the honeycomb structure, these systems are...
