Graphite Oxide Intercalation: Tailoring Adsorbate Geometry
The search for new porous materials is increasingly driven by a socio-economic pressure to diversify our energy supply and minimize environmental impact. Carbon-based... -
Relaxational and diffusive properties of oligomeric and fibrillar forms of al...
Neurodegenerative diseases are commonly associated with the accumulation of intracellular or extracellular protein aggregates and are characterized by the misfolding of a... -
Divacancy superstructures and enhanced thermopower in NaxCayCoO2
Replacing Na ions in NaxCoO2 with divalent Ca ions results in the formation of ordered arrays of divacancy clusters, rather than the trivacancy clusters found for the pure... -
Structure property relationships in new lead-free ceramics for energy storage
There has been much recent research on the development of lead-free ceramics to replace lead zirconium titanate, which is widely used in a variety of electronic devices... -
Investigation of the hydrogen bonding and anisotropic displacement parameters...
We will investigate the structure of 4-chloroimidazole, which undergoes extreme anisotropic thermal expansion. This is believed from our initial x-ray results to be due to a... -
Lipid dynamics in raft domains and effect of an oxidized bilayer component on...
Lipid oxidation is linked to many adverse health effects. In this proposal we will use QENS in combination with contrast variation as a non-invasive method to detect and... -
Magneto-elasticity, metamagnetism and the magnetic cooling potential of Fe2P-...
We wish to trace the changes in lattice parameters and atomic coordinates around the first and second order Curie transitions of Fe2P and boron (11B)-doped Fe2P0.95,B0.05... -
Dynamics and Phase Transitions in Catanionic Vesicles
The catanionic vesicles are unilamellar or multilamellar spheroid structure composed of cationic and anionic surfactant molecules assembled into bilayers. Vesicles forms by... -
Molecular Mechanisms of Enhanced Thermal Conductivity in Copper-based Nanofluids
The combination of the transport properties of liquids with the high thermal conductivity of metals is a promising way of improving heat transfer efficiency and thus reduce... -
Atomic structure of formamidinium lead iodide perovskite
New perovskite phases containing lead and halogens with a molecular cation are providing new options for materials in solar cells, giving unusually high efficiencies in... -
In-situ neutron diffraction during reversible deuterium loading in under-stoi...
Hydrogen is an efficient energy carrier that can be produced from renewable sources and stored in alloys in solid-state for long period enabling the transition towards CO2-free...
