Cytocompatibility of titanium and poly(etheretherketone) surfaces after O2 no...
An innovative process based on an oxygen non-thermal plasma (O2-NTP) generated in a sealed bag could be used for the sterilization of fragile medical devices. The purpose of... -
Formation and ammonia decomposition behaviour of lithium nitride hydride
Ammonia is seen as a key part of the transition to a sustainable energy economy, but needs decomposition catalysts to release its stored hydrogen. Lithium nitride-hydride... -
Controlling the morphology of bulk heterojunction (BHJ) films using mixtures ...
We have recently demonstrated that in organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs) the additive 1,8-diiodooctane (DIO) largely remains in the film after spin-coating acting as a... -
Structure in model fire-fighting foams
The aim is to probe the structure in and of foams for three common industrial fluorotelomer surfactants used in fire-fighting foam formulations using SANS. The structure of... -
Study of a spin gap and CEF excitations in the caged compounds CeT2Al10 (T=Fe...
This proposal was submitted on MERLIN (RB1010206) and beam time was allocated on MARI. We have carried out low energy measurements on MARI and found a clear evidence of the spin... -
Crystal Field Study of the Rare Earth Pyrochlores Sm2Hf2O7, Sm2Zr2O7 and Dy2T...
Rare earth pyrochlores R2T2O7 have attracted attention because of the wide range of interesting and unusual magnetic behavior they present, in particular the observation of... -
Quantum differences in heavy and light water
The density maximum of water is probably its best known anomaly and attempts to account for this phenomenon go back to Roentgen in 1892 and possibly further. We would like to... -
Multiscale time-resolving study of crystallisation in polyethyleneoxide
We will exploit the powerful and unique capability of NIMROD to follow in a time-resolving manner the crystallisation of polyethyleneoxide (PEO). There are three key length... -
In-Situ Study of thermal Stability of MAX Phases in Vacuum at Elevated Temper...
Ti2AlN and Ti4AlN3 are MAX phases that exhibit a unique combination of the characteristics of both ceramics and metals coupled with an unusual combination of mechanical,... -
Determinations of the Preferred Binding Sites within Extended Porous Frameworks
Constructing new porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is receiving considerable attention worldwide and is a ¿hot topic¿ owing to their potential for gas storage, separation,... -
Measurement of the total muonium emission yield from silica aerogel using mus...
The aim of the present beam-time request is to perform a direct measurement of the total muonium emission rate from silica aeeogel to vacuum including the region very close to... -
Magnetic ordering in the layered oxide arsenides Sr2CrO2Fe2As2 and Sr2CrO2Co2As2
This proposal is to probe the structure and magnetic ordering in Sr2CrO2Fe2As2 and Sr2CrO2Co2As2, in order to complete a description of trends in the Cr sublattice magnetic... -
In-situ investigation of nitrogenation process of (Nd,Zr)Fe10Si2 alloys
Tetragonal R(Fe,M)12 compounds (R=rare earth, M transition metal or Si), with the ThMn12 structure, are good candidates as permanent magnet materials with reduced R content.... -
IN-SITU NEUTRON DIFFRACTION STUDIES OF METAL-HYDRIDE HYDROGEN STORAGE MATERIALS
Hydrogen storage is considered to be one of the principal technological barriers in the transition towards a hydrogen-based economy. In this proposal, we plan to look at the key... -
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... -
Geometrical frustration induced quantum phase transition in CeRh1-xPdxSn: Ine...
The quasi-kagome Kondo lattice CeRhSn exhibits intriguing properties, which ascribe to quantum criticality induced by geometrical frustration. Divergent Grüneisen ratios provide... -
Investigation of the magnetic phases of the charge transfer compound CuTCNQ
The charge transfer compound CuTCNQ (TCNQ = 7,7,8,8-Tetracyanoquinodimethane) exhibits switching between two electrical resistance states when subject to an electric field. It...
