Test experiment: Neutron diffraction on helium in silica
We request 3 days of beamtime on GEM to attempt to perform neutron diffraction on helium inside vitreous SiO2. Significant amounts of helium can be dissolved into the glass... -
Exploring the Catalytic Pathway of Butane Isomerisation
The petrochemical industry accounts for a large proportion of global chemical industry, as such even subtle improvements in product yield can result in significant economic and... -
Effects of optimised roller geometry on the residual stress field in rolled g...
Recent work has shown that localised high-pressure rolling of weld seams can be a very effective means of reducing the damaging residual stresses created during the welding... -
Quantum spin liquid ground state in the Co-based triangular antiferromagnet N...
A triangular lattice occupies a special position in the quantum spin-liquid (QSL) physics. Although the triangular-lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnet is known to evade a QSL,... -
Local structure studies in the pressure-induced order-disorder phase transiti...
BaTiO3 is often thought of as the classic example of a ferroelectric material, with a well-defined, widely-taught phase diagram. However, the nature of the ferroelectric phase... -
RF-muSR in the gas phase: the muoniated ethyl radical
Radio-frequency muon spin resonance is an exceptional technique for studying free radicals, but it has not been applied to study radicals in the gas phase. In a previous... -
Vibrational spectra of acetylene in a novel iron metal-organic framework for ...
The energy costs associated with large-scale industrial separation of light hydrocarbons by cryogenic distillation could potentially be lowered through development of selective... -
Magnetic field diffraction study of Gd2Ti2O7
We propose a study of the magnetic structure of isotopically enriched Gd2Ti2O7. We have successfully grown and characterised large single crystals using low-absorption 160Gd. In... -
Characterisation of superalloys strengthened by Co3Ti
One method by which the efficiency of gas turbine engines may be improved is by increasing the gas stream temperature on entry to the turbine. Currently this temperature is... -
Probing of hydride phase formation of Pd nanoclusters embedded in the NH2-UiO...
With this proposal, we would like to investigate a material that could be used as a catalyst for hydrogenation reactions. A catalyst acts to increase the rate of a reaction by... -
Probing the spin dynamics in the pseudo-quaternary Y1-xErxNi2B2C compounds
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... -

INS studies of molecular hydrogen in K-doped electrospun graphite nanofibres
The physisorptive capacity of graphite-based nanomaterials for hydrogen is strongly dependent on their internal surface areas and pore dimensions. We have made electrospun... -
Studies of Free Radical Final States on Au nanoparticles by RF-muSR and ALC S...
Small-sized metal nanoparticles (NPs) are of long standing interest to both magnetism and heterogeneous catalysis. Recent µSR studies of bare Au NPs encapsulated in mesoporous... -
Studies of propene formation by gasoline cracking in steamed ZSM-5 by QENS
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... -
Irregular BSR: evidence of an on-going reequilibrium of a gas hydrate system
Gas hydrate (GH) systems constitute methane sinks sensitive to environmental changes such as pressure, temperature or salinity. It remains a matter of debate whether the large... -

This is a set of aggregated data tables that underly the key figures in the SERL stats report "Smart Energy Research Lab: Energy use in GB domestic buildings 2021" (Volume 1).... -
Chemical and Isotopic Composition of Gas in Salt Beds of a Potash Mine
In eastern Hesse and western Thuringia, Germany hosts significant potassium-bearing salt deposits industrially excavated in the Werra-Fulda mining district. The salt belongs to...
