Further investigation of the methanol to gasoline reaction over ZSM-5 using INS
The reaction of methanol to form hydrocarbons over zeolite catalysts is an important option for conversion of natural gas or coal to liquid fuels. We have shown previously... -
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... -
Local ordering in the pressure-induced order-disorder transition in ammonium ...
Ammonium bromide undergoes a pressure-induced order-disorder transition, where the disordered (plastic) phase is thought to consist of a random distribution of ammonium cations... -
The high pressure structure of deuterium
Of all the stable elements hydrogen(deuterium) is the least well studied from a structural point of view. Not one of its crystal structures has been fully charecterised. This... -
A High Pressure Study of Para-Xylene
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... -
Catalysis in Hydrogen-Bond Rich Porous Organic Materials
Hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) interactions are essential in biological and chemical processes, particularly in reactions catalysed by enzymes and small-molecule catalysts.... -
Vibrational Neutron Spectroscopy Studies of Porous Metal-Organic Framework Ma...
The research of new porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is receiving considerable attention worldwide owing to their potential for gas adsorption, storage and separation.... -
Disrupting structural correlations in the Na-Ca-NH3 system
Na or Ca, when dissolved in ammonia, yield metallic liquids. These liquids are fully miscible and yet each possesses a different intermediate-range order depending on the parent... -
Self-assembling behaviour of N-acyl amino acid-based surfactants
N-acyl amino acids are surfactants with attractive applications in different technological fields. They are referred to as mild surfactants because they are commonly considered... -
RF MuSR in the gas phase: The Search for a Radical State (RB920227)
The main spectroscopic technique for studying radicals in solids and liquids, ESR, cannot usually be used to study radicals of more than 3-5 atoms in the gas phase due to strong... -

Uranyl carbonates under pressure
The recommended method for storage of spent nuclear fuels is in an underground repository for 100,000 years. Under the long timescales, containment will fail and radioactive... -
Pressure Effects on Proton Migration 3,5-pyridinedicarboxylic Acid
Hydrogen bonds are ubiquitous in materials across the chemical spectrum, from inorganic to biological. They influence the structure, the functionality, and therefore the... -
Measuring the strain profile in opposed sapphire anvils
Sapphire can be used as a hard anvil material to generate high pressures on other samples of interest. Sapphire anvils, though not as strong as diamond anvils, are easily... -
Formation of Ho2Ge2O7 Pyrochlore at High Temperature and Pressure
When synthesised at high pressure and temperature, holmium germanate adopts the pyrochlorestructure. Because of its geometry, materials with this structure often have exotic and... -
The pressure dependence of the decomposition temperature of methane hydrate i...
The properties of methane ammonia water mixtures are crucial for models of how the outer planets evolved and yet have not been much studied. This proposal is for beamtime to... -
Exploration of the microscopic origins of thermal anomalies observed in molec...
It is a well established fact that several molecular liquids experiences a series of thermal anomalies as measured by microscopic and macroscopic techniques. A remarkable case... -
Study of structural and phase transitions of carbon dioxide confined in the n...
The properties of fluids confined in nanopores differ from the bulk mainly due to the solid-fluid interactions and the finite pore size. Such phenomena are of fundamental... -
Gas condensation and fluid behaviour in nanoporous ZIF-8 materials upon gate...
This proposal aims to study condensation transitions in nanoporous flexible materials by means of wide Q-range neutron diffraction. We plan to perform an in-situ gas... -
Combined in-situ structural and hydrogen desorption/absorption studies of hyd...
The Li?N?H hydrogen storage system is one of the most promising candidates for hydrogen storage in vehicular applications and the addition of halide ions significantly increases...
