The effect of polymer therapeutics on the structure of mucin solutions toward...
Progress in the development of nano-sized hybrid therapeutics and nano-sized drug delivery systems - "nanomedicines" - over the last decade has been remarkable. One key... -
Compressibility and Tilting of Polyhedra within Sr2NiMoO6 at High Pressure
Ordered double perovskites (also known as elpasolites) have the general formula A2BBO6 where A is generally a rare earth metal or alkaline earth metal and where B and B are... -
Thermal expansion of hexa-halogenated benzenes: C6Cl6, C6Br6, C6I6.
The aim of the present proposal is to complete a systematic study on the effects of isotopic and chemical substitution on the thermal expansion and vibrational properties of... -
Null Isotope Study of Lithium Borogermanate Glasses
Alkali borogermanate glasses are topologically complex, in that [BOn] (n = 3, 4)and [GeOn] (n = 4, 5, 6) polyhedra may all coexist. Equilibrium between these structural units... -
Negative thermal expansion in the rutile phase of ZnF2
It has recently been discovered than the rutile phase of zinc fluoride shows negative thermal expansion along all three crystallographic axes. What is highly unusual about this... -
Probing the magnetic structure of transition metal pyrovanadate Fe2V2O7
We have synthesized and characterized a new member, namely Fe2V2O7 in the family of 3d transition metal pyrovanadate M2V2O7 (M =Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu). M2V2O7 exist with a great... -
UNDER PRESSURE: an alternative route to novel zeolite catalysts
Zeolites are microporous aluminosilicate minerals which are characterised by their highly crystalline framework structures. Having distinct porosity, zeolites are used in a... -

Structure-property relationships in Mo-based oxides for SOFC applications
Molybdenum based-oxides have recently attracted interest for use as electrolyte and electrode materials in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells. This proposal requests 5 days of beamtime on... -
Lensing the triple-point of ferroelectric Ba(Ti0.8Zr0.2)O3−(Ba0.7Ca0.3)...
We propose to study the phase diagram of a lead-free piezoelectric material consisting of a tricritical triple point where anomalous enhancement of the physical properties have... -
Nuclear quantum dynamics across the structural phase transition in an organic...
Inspired by the calorimetric and dielectric properties studies on a novel organic anitferroelectric compound, dtBBP - CLA , this proposal seeks to compare and extend the... -
Local structure variation of polar nano-regions in ultrahigh piezoelectric re...
Relaxor ferroelectrics are a class of locally disordered crystals possessing peculiar structure and electrical properties. The solid solution of a relaxor perovskite and PbTiO3... -
Characterisation of layered double perovskite electrode materials for Solid O...
The research on new anode materials for solid oxide fuel cell is extremely important for its potential to overcome the drawbacks of current state of the art anodes. In this... -
Homogeneous nucleation in phosphate-based glassy precursors to fast-ion condu...
The structure of the phosphate materials Na_{1+x}Ge_{2-x}Al_x(PO_4)_3 with x = 0, 0.4 and 0.8 will be investigated using high real-space resolution neutron diffraction. In the... -
Local structural disorder in the ion conducting complex oxide CeNbO4+d
Complex oxides within the family CeNbO4 have been shown by single crystal x-ray studies to have superstructured average structures, but little detail has been obtained about the... -
INS STUDY OF BIOCHAR AS SOLID ACID CATALYSTS
Pyrolysis is considered as a sustainable way to generate energy from bio-oil, however, biochar – a solid residue by-product– is inevitably produced in the production line. We... -
Phase behaviour and dielectric phenomena in bismuth niobate energy storage ma...
Bismuth niobate (BiNbO4) is widely used in multilayer RF and microwave components such as capacitors and chip layer capacitors. This compound exhibits two main structural forms... -
Investigation of phosphatidylcholine and its interaction with 1,2 propandiol ...
The aim of the present study is to use neutron diffraction enhanced with isotopic substitution and subsequent computer simulations to determine the head group solvation of a... -
Non-invasive characterization of Viking Age Islamic coins by neutron diffraction
The Viking Age is a period characterized by four big transformations in Scandinavia, the most important of which was the change from a subsistence economy to one increasingly... -
Understanding the properties of nucleobase functionalized nanostructures
We have recently prepared a number of new nucleobase functionalised polymers which undergo interesting and unexpected self-assembly. We hope to use SANS to explore further the...
