Uptake of Molecular Hydrogen by High-performance Carbon Nanostructures (IRIS)
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... -
Low temperature studies of glycerol and aqueous glycerol
Glycerol, a sugar alcohol with three hydroxyl groups, is a rich and complex system for the study of hydrogen bonded fluids and has been the subject of long-standing scientific... -
Melting point dynamics of Confined fluids
This proposal aims to investigate the dynamics of the melting transition in H2O and CO2 when confined in a vycor (SiO2) matrix. The field of fluids in confined geometries is... -
Liquid-liquid immiscibility and glass transitions in aqueous solutions
The microscopic structure of a dilute solution of LiCl in water is determined at different thermodynamic states in both the liquid and glassy phases. This solution exhibits... -
Quasi-elastic neutron scattering study of reconstituted plant wax films and t...
A number of studies have determined that non-ionic surfactants are capable of altering diffusion rates and transportation of both water and active ingredients thorough the waxy... -
Study of the protein denaturation in glassy matrices
The proposed experiment is addressed to use the MARI spectrometer to study the thermal denaturation process of the psychrophile enzyme alpha-amylase in presence of bioprotectant... -
High Resolution Powder Diffraction of Manganites to Determine Bond Lengths as...
Manganites show promise as magnetocaloric materials - for use in solid-state refrigeration - in terms of cost, durability and tunable thermal conductivity. By tuning the...
