Onset of classical dynamics in ammonium hexachlorometallates.
The piloting experiment (RB 820239) on VESUVIO on (NH4)2PdCl6, has shown that, at 5 and 80K, H momentum distribution, J(y), in NH4+ is non-Gaussian with non-vanishing... -
Measure of momentum distribution and mean kinetic energy of D2O
A careful experiment on Vesuvio has shown an anomalous mean kinetic energy, , excess in moderately supercooled bulk water. This energy excess has a clear signature in the shape... -
Tracking Temperature-Dependency of Setting Dynamics in Bioactive Glass Compos...
Demand for new medical & biomaterials with elevated longevities is accelerating through the ageing of the population. The historic implantation of foreign materials into the... -
Investigation of the dynamics within the destabilised multi-component hydroge...
There is great interest in destabilised multicomponent hydrogen storage materials as this allows the reduction of the temperature of dehydrogenation while maintaining a... -
Anisotropy in the momentum distribution of Li in the graphite intercalate com...
We request 9 days on VESUVIO to investigate the angularly resolved momentum distributions of Li and C in pyrolytic graphite (PG) intercalated with Li (LiC6). We wish to... -
Copy of: Copy of: The Super Proton Conductors (H3O)SbTeO6 and Rb3H(SO4)2 ¿ Co...
Neutron Compton scattering (NCS) results will be obtained from the two super proton conductors (H3O)SbTeO6 and Rb3H(SO4)2, both powders. To facilitate direct comparison of... -
Water in extreme environment. The case of Mariana Trench
The Mariana Trench is one of the most famous extreme environment on our planet. Salinity is around 35 g salts per one kg of water at temperatures ranging from 274 K to 277 K ,... -
Coherence and confinement in poly(p-phenylene sulfone), sPSO2
sPSO2 is a candidate for new commercial fuel cell technology, having higher conductivity and better structural properties than Nafion. It has a higher degree of confinement of... -
Ionic radius perturbation on water hydrogen bond network
The salts composed by elements of the first period with halogen elements are a family of compounds with different anionic and cationic combination. In this proposal we aim at... -
Water proton's environment in Low Density and Very High Density Amorphous Ices
Amorphous polymorphism is one of the key concepts in our understanding of water, its structure, physical properties and anomalies. The basic idea is that liquid water at ambient... -
Ionic disorder studies of lightweight hydrides by VESUVIO
We ask for 8 days on VESUVIO to study the momentum distribution of LiBH4, Li2NH and Li1+xNH2-x as a function of temperature from 10K-653K (depending on sample). Li2NH and... -
Framework Investigation of Germanosilicate Zeolites
We request 5 days on VESUVIO to study atomic momentum distributions within the frameworks of a series of SixGe(12-x)O24 zeolites with the SOD framework. Neutron... -
Proton transport on metallic oxide nanoparticle surfaces
The surface of metal oxide nanoparticles are typically coated with layers of water that are strongly bonded to the surface. The properties of these water layers are... -
Validation of a possible method for non-destructive diagnosis of H retention ...
In this proposal, we plan to explore the possibility of developing a non-invasive H-isotopes quantification method based on Deep Inelastic Neuron Scattering (DINS) to be applied... -
Proton dynamics of water approaching the supercooled phase
In a recent DINS experiment (RB520101) we have possibly evidenced a new anomaly of supercooled water. Data at T = 269 and 271 K show clear differences in the proton neutron... -
Tunneling effect of hydrogen in alpha-Mn
DINS is capable of observing coherent tunneling of protons in a double well potential through the effects of the tunneling on the momentum distribution of the protons. In our... -
The proton momentum distribution in oriented ice films
We propose to fully characterise the proton quantum dynamics in oriented ice, grown on Pt surface, via DINS experiment and quantum ¿mechanical calculation, using path integral... -
Dynamics of water protons at low temperature and high pressure
We have recently performed a DINS experiment on water at 268 K, at pressures ranging from 25.6 MPa to 400 MPa. These data show that the mean kinetic energy of protons exhibits... -
Solvation and interaction of polymers showing lower critical solution tempera...
LCST, or ¿cloud point¿ is a property of some types of polymers in solution. At low temperatures, the polymers are fully solvated and exist as extended conformations in solution.... -
