Understanding Structural Changes in Amorphous Solid Water (ASW) on Heating
This experiment will establish the structural changes that occur in Amorphous Solid Water (ASW) prior to the process of pore collapse or crystallisation. We will study the... -
Characterising the amorphicity and porosity of ice aggregates in planet-formi...
With the discovery of almost 3000 exo-planets it is clear that planet formation is a by-product of star formation, yet in the micron ? cm size range, where relative velocities... -

Amorphous Micrometre-Sized Water Ice Particles for Planetary Science Experime...
We request 5 days on NIMROD to characterise the pressure and temperature dependent properties of amorphous icy particles generated in liquid ethane, as they will be used in... -
What really governs porosity in Amorphous Solid Water (ASW)?
This experiment will establish the structural changes that occur in Amorphous Solid Water (ASW), a porous material that can be formed by vapour-depositing water onto a cold... -
Micropore Collapse in Bulk Amorphous Solid Water
We propose to study the influence of deposition rates and annealing effects on microporous amorphous solid water samples (ASW) using NIMROD. The data will allow us to monitor... -
Milimeter-Sized Water Ice Pebbles for Planetary Science Experiments: Characte...
Understanding the planetary formation process by the coagulation of interstellart dust grains requires to study the ice-phase dependant collisional properties of icy dust... -
What processes dominate porosity and structure evolution in Amorphous Solid W...
This experiment will measure the microstructure of Amorphous Solid Water (ASW), a porous material that can be formed by vapour-depositing water onto a cold plate, an excellent... -
A study on atomic clustering in Fe-Cr alloys by NIMROD diffractometer
Low temperature embrittlement of stainless steels are due to phase separation and it is known that the kinetics of phase separation depend on the initial structure. However, the... -
