Protic ionic liquids (PILs) are an interesting sub-class of room temperature ionic liquids. They differ from conventional, a protic ionic liquids, because of the major role...

We propose to use a pulsed magnet system tried and tested at several neutron and synchrotron facilities in conjunction with the new high flux diffractometer WISH to perform the...

There are few studies on the effect of pressure on ionic liquids; however, there are indications that, at pressures around 1.0 GPa, these systems undergo a significant change in...

We plan to measure the phonon dispersions of the rare earth pyrochlores Tb2Ti2O7 and Ho2Ti2O7 in their spin liquid and spin ice phases respectively. Magnetoelastic effects are...

The aim of this experiment is to characterise several novel ionic liquid ¿ oil and ionic liquid ¿ water microemulsions via SANS prior to their use in the synthesis of metallic...

This research project addresses an overlooked, but fundamental issue of colloid science: surfactant adsorption dynamics at nanoparticle-organosolvent interfaces. Adsorption of...

In this application we will conduct the first detailed study of the structure of glassy metal-ammonia systems ? so-called Ogg glasses, named after the person who first proposed...

Muon diamagnetic fraction in liquid water is known to decrease with decreasing temperature probably because its formation mechanism results from the structural alternation and...

The beamtime requested will be used to study the adsorption of a series of non-ionic surfactants at the air-IL interface in order to further understand the aggregation processes...

This proposal will explore the effect of elevated pressure on para-xylene. It is a raw material in the large scale synthesis of various polymers, including polyethylene...

We propose to measure the neutron diffraction pattern of a single crystal sample of SrEr2O4, using the WISH diffractometer. As the magnetic Er ions in this compound are linked...

During our previous experiment on HiFi (RB1320541) we measured the ALC spectrum of the Fe2(µ-pdt)(CO)4(PMe3)2 model hydrogenase complex over multiple temperatures. The spectra...

It has been recently shown that reversible thermal folding-unfolding, stabilization and high solubility of proteins (e.g. lysozyme) can be achieved when dissolved in protic...

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...

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...

The use of the J 0-to-1 rotational transition of dihydrogen has been extensively used to characterise the state if hydrogen in and on materials. The disadvantage of studying the...

This is a new programme of work and a collaboration between CCLRC, Oxford, Unilever and Manchester. It is concerned with polymer aided deposition to solid substrates, using...

An intriguing unknown variant of the nematic liquid-crystal phase (Nx) has been discovered first in a class of main-chain polymers, and later in LC dimers connected via an...

Formic Acid (FA) is a simple model for rotational isomerism, and it presents four different hydrogen bonding sites. In a recent study, we have elucidated the structure of FA in...

Nanoemulsions have considerable potential for dermatological drug delivery. Small angle neutron scattering in combination with contrast variation will be used to characterize...
