Determination of the location of molecular hydrogen trapped within a metal-or...
An interesting In(III)-framework has been synthesized at the University of Nottingham by the group of research of Martin Schroder. This metal-organic framework is based on... -
Characterization of the texture properties of Euro coins as a function of min...
This work intends to see if a diffraction technique is able to distinguish between coins minted in different places. All the physical properties of euro coins were restricted by... -
Non destructive characterization of tools, ingots and artefacts retrieved in ...
An archeological excavation taken in the Querciola area inside the municipality of Sesto Fiorentino (Firenze - Italy) brought to the discovery of a copper age metallurgical... -
Quantitative determination of the Bragg edge transmission analysis of 9 steel...
The Bragg edge transmission (BET) analysis is a technique exploiting the presence, position and shape of the edges which form in time of flight transmitted neutron beams. This... -
Vibrational proton dynamics in a Ga[GaH3]4 clusterion through incoherent inel...
An unprecedented Ga[GaH3]4 clusterion, with the neopentane structure, has been found in the solid state hydrides Rb8Ga5H15 and Cs8Ga5H15. This is the first gallium-hydrido... -
Diffusion of molecular hydrogen into pre-formed THF clathrate hydrate
The proposing team has a well established experience in the use of neutron scattering on samples containing molecular hydrogen, and has recently studied some aspects of the... -
Characterization of the phase map of two ancient Japanese blades through neut...
Historical metallurgy is one of the most interesting topics of archaeometry but, in order to have a good level of characterization of artefacts by traditional analytical... -
CHARACTERISATION OF IRON SLAGS FROM THE IRON AGE
We propose the investigation of four slag samples coming from an Iron Age furnace in Hüttenberg (Hesse Region, Austria). The materials we intend to measure were recovered from... -
Determination of the detection limits and quantitative analysis reliability o...
Neutron diffraction offers one of the most interesting and meaningful methods for non destructive quantitative determination of the phase composition of materials. However, it... -
Radiation damage test of CCD cameras for neutron imaging applications
In the framework of the PANAREA project, aiming to the development of new instruments for neutron imaging on TS2, the determination of geometric, optic, electronic, and aging... -
Test of a high-resolution CCD camera for neutron radiography
We propose to test a high-resolution, light-intensified CCD camera system on INES for neutron radiography. The potential use of such a system on INES for radiographic purposes... -
Investigating the interactions of H2 with high capacity metal-organic framewo...
An interesting family of Cu (II)-framework (NOTT100 series) has been synthesized at the University of Nottingham by the group of research of Martin Schröder. Earlier studies on... -
Phase mapping of three parts of a Japanese steel armour of 16th Century
We propose to measure three parts of a full suit of armour pertaining to the Stibbert Museum in Florence (Italy) which recent studies on leather and fabric components of it,... -
Dynamics of hydrogen guests and host lattice in clathrates with different str...
The proposing team has a well established experience in the use of neutron scattering on samples containing molecular hydrogen. Our recent experimental results on cubic hydrogen... -
Non invasive characterization of two high quality lamellar Japanese helmets
Historical metallurgy is one of the most interesting fields of archaeometry. However, traditional analytical methods are often too invasive to be applied to the most interesting... -
Residual strain mapping of a Japanese helmet
In this experiment, we propose to analyze a lamellar structured helmet, with no rivets visible, from the Saotome school, whose products are considered, by most experts, as the... -
Investigating the effect of pore structure upon interactions of hydrogen with...
Three MOFs samples with high hydrogen storage capacities at 77K, and high surface area, are willing to be analyzed. In order to investigate hydrogen interactions within the... -
Compositional analysis and working technique determination of five Japanese T...
The Pitt Rivers is Oxford University¿s museum of anthropology and world archaeology. The Japanese material includes a large number of items of metalwork. Amongst these, the... -
Non invasive characterization of four eneolithic arsenic rich metal artefacts...
Archaeological research in the Fontino cave in the north of Tuscia brought to the discovery of several eneolithic metal copper based artefacts as knives, awls and rivets (4000... -
Effects of hardening and annealing cycles on binary and leaded bronzes
Here, we aim at characterizing the micro-structural and compositional effects of hardening and annealing on binary and leaded bronzes under different operative conditions. The...
