Quenched salt hydrates new ways of probing water clusters.
Very rapid quenching of liquids to form a glass, from which crystalline phases are subsequently obtained by devitrification, is a powerful technique for obtaining novel... -
Structure of a clathrate hydrate inhibitor in water
Gas hydrates (crystalline inclusion compounds of water and small hydrocarbons) present a very real challenge to the petrochemical industry. In uninhibited systems gas hydrates... -
Phase behaviour of methane clathrate under conditions relevant to Titan's int...
Methane clathrates are likely to be an important constituent of icy satellite interiors and a source of methane in the atmosphere of Saturn's giant satellite Titan. There is... -
Cation substitution in synthetic meridianiite (MgSO4.11D2O): phase behaviour ...
MgSO4.11H2O (MS11) is the most highly hydrated phase in the binary MgSO4¿H2O system. Whilst lower hydrates in this system have end-member analogues containing alternative... -
Linking the solid state and solution thorium aqua structures: A solid state p...
A understanding of the aqueous chemistry of the actinide ions is not as well developed as for transition metals or the lanthanides. Fundamentally important information such as... -
Structural investigation of nano sized CeO2 and ZnO systems
We will investigate bulk and nano size ceria and zinc oxide prepared by solvothermal methods to determine the defect chemistry associated with these solids. We will use neutron... -

MgSO4.11H2O (MS11) is the most highly hydrated phase in the binary MgSO4¿H2O system. Whilst lower hydrates in this system have end-member analogues containing alternative... -
Dynamics of Water on Surface of Reverse Osmotic Membranes
We are proposing 10 days of beamtime on IRIS to investigate the diffusion process of H2O molecules adsorbed on polyamide, surface material of reverse osmotic membranes currently... -

Helium quantum rattling in clathrate hydrate cages studied through neutron Co...
The proposing team is interested in exploring the low-temperature quantum "rattling" dynamics of helium atom(s) trapped in water-based cages (namely the so-called "clathrate... -
The Effect of Pressure on the Crystal Structure of Serine Hydrate
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,... -
New high pressure hydrates for energy applications.
The need to decarbon the energy economy is one of the greatest technological challenges mankind has ever faced. Gas hydrates offer new clean potential materials for hydrogen... -
Structure Determination of a New H2 Clathrate Phase
Gas clathrate hydrates are crystalline inclusion compounds formed when water and gas come into contact at high pressures and low temperatures. To date there are only three... -
The high-pressure structures of carbon dioxide hydrate
The gas hydrates offer potential as hydrogen and carbon dioxide storage materials for use either in transport applications or for carbon sequestration. We have discovered a... -

Methane clathrates are likely to be an important constituent of icy satellite interiors and a source of methane in the atmosphere of Saturn's giant satellite Titan. There is... -
Ab-inito lattice dynamics and thermal diffuse scattering in amino acids and p...
We propose to simultaneously collect diffuse and Bragg scattering in the amino acids L-Serine, L-Alanine, and their joint dipeptide L-Alanine-L-Serine hydrate and ask for 8 days... -
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...
