Determining the Crystal and Magnetic Structures of [Li(oxalate)]2[Co5(OH)8]
Dense corrdination frameworks that contain inorganic centres connected into extended lattices by polyatomic anions often adopt highly anisotropic structures. Thus they often... -
Understanding the formation of diamonds: Calibrating the coesite solid-inclus...
Diamonds provide our only direct samples of the very deep Earth and understanding their origin is consequently of great interest to Earth Scientists. The origin of diamonds can... -
The Dynamics of Molecular Hydrogen in Synthetic Clays
In this proposal we aim to study the low temperature uptake and dynamics of hydrogen in the interlayer region of partially hydrated pillared clays. There are linked dual... -
Structural and magnetic characterisation of polar magnetic perovskite-based m...
A new generation of low-power high-density information storage would be enabled by the development of ?multiferroic? materials which function at or above room temperature. Such... -
Hydrogen Uptake by Pillared Graphite Oxides
High sorption capacities and enhanced interaction strengths are the two most fundamental prerequisites for the deployment of carbon-based materials as hydrogen-storage media. In... -
Kinetics of Molecular Intercalation into Graphite Oxide
The search for new porous materials is increasingly be driven by socio-economic pressure to diversify our energy supply and minimize environmental impact. Carbon-based... -
What is the Room Temperature Structure of NaTaO3?
The current proposal seeks to establish the origin of t non-perovskite-like peak splitting observed in HRPD data for NaTaO3. It is our hypothesis that this is a result of the... -
Interactions Between Ionic Liquids and Water
To date many papers have been published on the effects of impurities on the physical properties of ionic liquids (near room-temperature molten salts), however, only few studies... -

In-situ high resolution neutron diffraction and Electric polarization measure...
The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and the WISH instrument team has worked together to enable simultaneous real-time high resolution (powder and single crystal) neutron... -
Chemical effect on elastic properties in hexa-alogenated-benzenes
Benzene is the parent compound of organic solids based on C-H...pi interactions that have been used in organic field effect transistors. Any change in the C-H...pi interactions... -
Determination of the magnetic field-temperature phase diagram in metal-organi...
Metal-organic magnets are of interest primarily due to the synthetic versatility enabled by the vast array of organic complexes which can be used to coordinate magnetic ions and... -
Structures and magnetism of chemical and electrochemical deintercalates of la...
We propose to use POLARIS to perform two related experiments. Firstly we will investigate the structures and compositions of derivatives of some layered Mn/Cu oxysulfides which... -
Polycarbonate and tetramethyl bisphenol A polycarbonate
The miscibility of polycarbonates (PC) with polystyrene (PS) appears to be closely related to chain dynamics. Among all polycarbonates, tetramethyl bisphenol-A polycarbonate... -
The effect of redox on the substitution mechanism of Ti in meteoritic hibonite
We request 3 days of beam-time on HRPD to identify the substitution mechanism of Ti3+ and Ti4+ in synthetic hibonites [CaAl12O19]. The experiment forms part of a larger... -
Completing the Magnetic Ordering-Crystal Structure Phase Diagram of Supercond...
The key objective is to measure three samples of composition Fe(1.05)Te, Fe(1.12)Te, and Fe(1.14)Te as a function of temperature (base to 80 K) through their magnetic ordering... -
Quantifying the role of lattice dynamics in the negative gas adsorption behav...
Flexible metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) such as Zn(C3H3N2) (ZIF-4) and Cu2(BBCDC) (DUT-49) show intriguing structural phase transitions when triggered by external stimuli such... -
Configurational and displacive disorder in the cubic NTE material Cd(CN)2
Cubic cadmium(II) cyanide shows the most pronounced isotropic NTE effect known, with behaviour more than twice as extreme as that of better known materials such as ZrW2O8. This... -
The role of Disorder in Phase Transitions in some manganese Perovskites
The aim of this work is to understand the origin of the difference in the behaviour between the two doped manganites Sr0.65Pr0.35MnO3 and Sr0.70Ce0.30MnO3. The hypothesis we... -
Magnetic order in two pyrochlore iridates
Iridium oxides are of interest because many novel magnetic phases have been predicted in crystals, depending on the geometry of the crystal lattice. Our proposal concerns two...
