As TiO2 is replacing SiO2 it has a slight suppressing effect on the viscosity until the limit when Na2O/TiO2 ratio is less than 2, indicating a transformation of the structure...

Adding alumina to the conventional soda lime silicate glass composition improves many properties, however, also increases the viscosity. Alumina doping of soda lime silicate...

Diffusion kinetics and structural properties of chemically strengthened titania-doped soda-lime silicate glasses were studied by depth-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,...

Experimental data on the melting of snowflakes in forced convection. The data set contains the shape and size evolution during melting and the duration of melting of laboratory...

Cancer is a growing health problem worldwide, and thus the development of effective chemotherapeutic approaches is crucial for improving human health. Much effort has been put...

This proposal continues from a GEM experiment (RB1610430), requesting the use of HRPD to provide, for the first time, crystallographic information for solid Li(MeNH2)4. This...

Hydrogen chloride exhibits a complex phase diagram account made of its simple molecular structure. Three crystalline phases are known to exist at ambient pressure below its...

The objectives are to study the interaction of water molecules held in a channel in an organic matrix. We have structurally characterised a water tetramethylpiperididine complex...

Asphaltenes are a complex and problematic fraction of crude oil that can precipitate, alter wettability and stabilise unwanted oil-in-water emulsions. Asphaltenes have a high...

In the current work, we study inorganic solid-state electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries. These materials, unlike the traditional liquid electrolytes, could lead to a...

Due to the importance of developing efficient biomass conversion processes, the mobility of lignin constituents phenol and catechol in zeolite Beta will be studied using QENS....

Caprolactam (CL) is a high-value chemical and precursor to nylon-6. Industrially, a harsh, liquid-acid catalyst effects the Beckmann rearrangement of C6-oxime to CL, but the...

Sodium cobalate has emerged as one of the best thermoelectric materials. Our previous neutron Laue diffraction studies on SXD have found ordered arrays of multivacancy clusters,...

Ab initio computer simulations have suggested that pre-melting phenomena occur in the elastic properties of hcp-iron at the conditions of the Earth’s inner core just before...

For deionised, charge stabilised latices, there has been some uncertainty about the stacking sequence of close packed layers in samples at equilibrium. The ABCA stacking in...

Ortho-terphenyl is a paradigmatic example of a molecular glass-former; yet the structure of its glass has never been fully described. We have recently demonstrated that, by...

Molten carbonates and other molten salts have potential applications as diverse as fuel cells, CO2 sequestration and other energy applications. Understanding the structure and...

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...

BiNiO3, synthesized at high pressure, has the unusual charge distribution Bi3+0.5Bi5+0.5Ni2+O3 with ordering of Bi3+ and Bi5+ charges on the A sites of a highly distorted...

The appearance of multiple crystal forms is one of the bottlenecks in pharmaceutical formulation. To date the result of a crystallisation experiment cannot be predicted and we...
