The reaction of methanol to form hydrocarbons over zeolite catalysts is an important option for conversion of natural gas or coal to liquid fuels. We have shown previously...

Copper (I) hydride, CuH, is unique amongst the binary metal hydrides in that it can be synthesised, at room temperature, in aqueous solution. In recent years CuH generated in...

Water ice displays a remarkably complex phase diagram containing pairs of hydrogen-ordered / disordered phases. Ice XII is a hydrogen-disordered phase and ice XIV is its...

Metal and metal oxide nanostructures can be prepared in much different morphology (nanowires, nanobelts, nanofibres etc.) which are known to exhibit better adjustable properties...

We request three days of beam-time on POLARIS to investigate the influence of thermally-induced twinning on the thermal expansion behaviour of polycrystalline calcite....

CaSiO3 perovskite is the third most abundant mineral in the Earth's lower mantle (below 670 km). It also occurs as a major phase at lower pressures and temperatures in...

This proposal requests 6 days of OSIRIS time to conduct QENS measurements on commercial zeolite catalysts which have been removed from a reactor converting methanol to gasoline...

At ambient pressure and temperature TiCl4 is a fuming yellow liquid. On cooling it forma a solid composed of essentially isolated tetrahedral molecules; the same structure is...

Hybrid lead perovskites have received much attention over the past decade since they have potential applications in optoelectronic devices and solar cells. Although most devices...

We request 5 days (15 shifts) with CRISP to perform specular measurements on novel functionalized SrTiO3(substrate)/complex FM oxide/small molecules/ FM metal nanostructures to...

In this experiment we will use the F-mu+-F state as a window into the dynamics of perfluoroalkanes and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) at the molecular level. We will investigate...

Below 80 K ordinary water ice (ice Ih) undergoes a phase transition in which the randomly oriented molecules in the crystal adopt an ordered orientation. This ordered form of...

In conjunction with an industrial partner (Sasol Technology), it is proposed to apply INS to characterize a series of prototype Fischer-Tröpsch synthesis (FTS) catalysts that...

In recent years, the research related to agricultural wastes aiming to evaluate their potential for recycling as well as the elimination of the landfills increased dramatically....

This proposal aims to study the potential for neutron diffraction to offer spatially-, chemically-, and temporally-resolved information on a dynamic system, in this case the...

We wish to determine a structure we have observed in a dodecane/surfactant/water system. Initial experimentation has suggested the possibility of spontaneous formation of a...

This experiment seeks to continue previous work on PEARL, whereby the phase is altered in the room temperature multiferroic BiFeO3 - PbTiO3 using hydrostatic pressure with the...

We will investigate a series of aluminophosphate systems, in particular related to small pore materials and determine the short and medium range order structures and more...

We propose to use SXD for mapping the crystallographic phases in an extended 3D benchmark object. The phase distribution will be reconstructed using a geometrical aberration...

Serine monohydrate undergoes a phase transition at 5.2 GPa which involves reorientation of water molecules. It appears that this disrupts H-bonding elsewhere in the crystal,...
