"Chemical expansion" occurs when some ceramics expand upon releasing oxygen. Their ability to effectively "breathe" oxygen makes them of use in sustainable energy...

Although surfactant detergency is well understood above 30 C, actions of surfactants below 30 C are not well established. In the era of energy saving and environment caring, we...

ZrMn2H3 is a Laves Phase intermetallic hydride with interesting materials properties - unlike most Laves Phases, the parent alloy ZrMn2 is not a line phase but has a wide range...

Carbohydrates are one of the major classes of biomolecules that make up most of the organic matter on earth and serve as energy stores, fuels and metabolitic intermediates. They...

This project will investigate the self-diffusion of ethanol-water mixtures to support our work on supramolecular gels in drug delivery. As these solvent mixtures are safe to use...

We request 3 days Direct Access on TOSCA to complete the INS measurements of our previous experiment 1610254. We want to characterise the vibrational signatures of a new...

The aim of this proposal is to examine the pressure induced changes in the structure of two cobalt-bearing silicate glasses. Transition metals such as cobalt can adopt different...

Oxide ceramics based on ceria, CeO2, have been the subject of considerable research for the role of solid electrolyte within solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), since their ionic...

Metal oxides(MO) are widely used in technological applications especially for catalysts and supports for catalysts. We propose to use the inelastic response of H2 adsorbed on...

This proposal aims use a novel approach whereby deuterated amyloid peptide fibrils are givenhydrogenated growing ends, and analysed using SANS. The data will enable us to...

We have recently demonstrated, using small angle neutron scattering in combination with other techniques, that in organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs) the additive...

From the archaeometric point of view, very few studies have been performed on late antiquecopper-alloys, mainly by means of destructive techniques.The present study opens up...

We propose to perform a NDIS experiments at the SANDALS diffractometer at T = 300 K on X samples of N-Methylacetamide, NMA, and trehalose at low water content, in the glassy...

In recent incoherent inelastic neutron scattering experiments we have shown that the anharmonic single-particle dynamics of H2 can be measured with high precision in quantum...

Endocytosis plays a central role in allowing the selective transport of molecules, via membrane-derived vesicles, into cells. Vesicle formation is controlled by a complex...

Dynamics of multicomponent mixtures such as polymer blends are typically studied with QENS and deuterium labelling. Difficulties arise in the data analysis if the coherent...

Ionic liquids (ILs) have been extensively studied for liquid¿liquid extractions and have recently been examined for the purification and separation of crude oil components. Of...

PPO-PEO-PPO copolymer-based lubricant with extreme pressure or friction modifier additives has been introduced as boundary lubricant in metal forming. The Pluronic reverse...

Protecting biomolecules, such as proteins and enzymes, from the effects of cooling and freezing is important for the storage and handling of pharmaceuticals. Deep eutectic...

We propose to study the powder averaged spin fluctuations in a S=5/2 pryochlore - FeF3. Previous studies, corroborated by our own diffraction work on WISH, have measured that...
