Our uSR measurements on superconducting Y1-xErxNi2B2C shows a slowing of the Er spin dynamics upon cooling to 2.5 K, but the depolarisation rate does not critically diverge and...

Human skeletal remains from archaeological settings are studied by neutron vibrational spectroscopy as an innovative way of analysing these kind of samples, particularly aiming...

The development of all-solid state batteries is of significant interest as a solid electrolyte enables the removal of the flammable solvent phase and is stable to much higher...

We have successfully synthesised materials based on naturally occurring minerals and structurally related phases with the formula, Cu2(OH)3X where X is an anion. Phases with the...

Recently (RB19100102) we have discovered that floating bilayers composed of fluid phase lipids can be produced by deposited vesicles onto charge modified oligo(ethylene...

The design and development of novel catalysts for chemical synthesis is incredibly important from both academic and industrial perspectives. Approximately 90 % of all commercial...

Nitric acid plays important roles in the atmosphere, in all aggregate states and combined with water.During the last periode we were running the proposal RB1110207 "Metastable...

Approved proposal under the ICRD Scheme Proposal ICRD0003

Fluidised Catalytic Cracking (FCC) units (shown below) are one of the major conversion units in modern petrochemical refineries. ZSM-5 additives. These are used in FCC units to...

While traditionally considered competing phenomena, recent theoretical and experimental work has shown that, when juxtaposed, there is a wealth of proximity effects in...

The following proposal aims to ellucidate the role of ammonium ions in sulfite oxidation reaction. The key step in the sulfur-ammonia photothermochemical cycle, which is one of...

The Methanol-to-Hydrocarbons reaction uses methanol as feedstock, and turns it into more industrially relevant products via a ZSM-5 catalyst. There is a lack of fundamental...

Finely divided supported palladium particles are used as catalysts in many technical processes. Using MAPS we have recently investigated the interaction of hydrogen with the...

There are growing demands to reduce the global CO2 footprint and to adopt alternative, sustainable fuels. Ammonia (NH3) is one such alternative, producing only water and...

We request 3 days on POLARIS to study the detailed crystal structure of a sodium battery cathode material that is currently under consideration for use in commercial sodium...

This proposal is to measure the evolution of the magnetic structures of a series of iron oxide chalcogenides and compare the structures as a function of cation sizes and with...

Caprolactam (CL) is a high-value chemical and precursor to nylon-6. Industrially, a harsh, liquid acid catalyst transforms C6-oxime to CL but due to the risk and inefficiency of...

Niobium oxide based compounds have superior catalytic properties. Research to get an inside into the physical properties of hydrogen is extremely difficult as hydrogen in Nb2O5...

Our aim is to study with high resolution neutron powder diffraction the two orthorhombic phases of Mn2TeO6 at RT, so as to understand the origin of the observed structural...

Inexpensive light-metal amides are among the most highly active and effective ammonia decomposition catalysts at modest temperatures and are likely to surpass the performance of...
