As our understanding of surfactant interfacial behaviour grows it is important to assess the applicability of the results to industrial applications. In these cases there are...

Cupric(II) oxide (CuO) has recently found to be both antiferromagnetic and ferroelectric in temperature region from 213 K to 230 K. This high temperature multiferroic material...

This experiment will determine how the structure and porosity of Amorphous Solid Water (ASW) changes when the “ice” is “contaminated” by adsorbate molecules. ASW is a porous...

We request 2 days on SANDALS to characterise the temperature dependent properties of amorphous icy particles as they will be used in a more detailed study on NIMROD in Feburary...

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...

Liquid crystals (LCs) are known to act as good lubricants, however, the reason for this remains unclear. One contributing factor is thought to be the formation of ordered layers...

There are great energy costs associated with the separation of the light olefins (ethylene and propylene) from mixed hydrocarbon gas feeds. These olefins (obtained from natural...

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...

The proposal aims to a neutron integrated study to provide the composition (in terms of phases and corrosion products as well as working methods and state of conservation) of a...

Consisting of a positive and negative electrode, conventional batteries undergo a range of static and dynamic processes that originate at the electrode surface. As such,...

Sr1-xBaxCe0.5Zr0.35Y0.1Sm0.05O3-&; (SrBCZYSm) where x = 0,0 - 0.9 are promising as intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cell electrolyte. PXRD reveals that all of the...

Neutron measurement and diagnostic is of paramount importance in fusion machines like the ITER Tokamak. Indeed the measurement of neutron yield and spectrum as well as that of...

Intergranular stresses, generated during cyclic loading of AISI type 316H stainless steel can significantly affect the creep deformation of this material. However,...

In this proposal we are planning to study free radicals (molecules with unpaired electrons) and interactions of charged species in solids under microwave irradiation. The study...

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...

LiErF4 is an example of an XY dipolar coupled antiferromagnet with planar anisotropy. As such it exhibits a quantum phase transition (QPT) in a small field of 4kOe, which is of...

The usual assumption that the muon's polarisation relaxes to zero at long times may be incorrect at high B and low T: for 5T and 30mK the Brillouin function gives P=49%. We plan...

There is a pressing worldwide need for research to develop specific sustainable spent fuel reprocessing technologies suitable for minimizing waste from next generation nuclear...

Freezing of fluids confined at the nanoscale is of great importance for the understanding of their behaviour due to the confinement effects arising from the finite pore size and...

After the successful strain measurements at ENGING-X of 3D-printed and cold-rolled Ti-6Al-4V parts, which have shown that this mechanical treatment can eliminate residual stress...
