Materials with helical and double helical structure motifs are prone to display fascinating spring-type behaviour, i.e. a shallow energy surface along the spring-axis in which...

In SrHo2O4, the Ho3+ ions are arranged in a network of triangles and hexagons, and coupled with antiferromagnetic exchange interactions, this gives rise to geometric...

The proposing team has a well established experience in the use of INS on samples containing H_2. Our recent experimental results on sII and sH H_2-filled clathrate hydrates,...

Lignin valorization is receiving increasing attention. We request 7 days on TOSCA to carry out inelastic neutron scattering (INS) study of two key chemical processes in lignin...

We request 10 days on TOSCA to carry out inelastic neutron scattering (INS) study of a multifunctional catalyst (Pd/MoO3) for the one-step isomerization in the...

At ambient pressure TiCl4 forms a molecular solid consisting of isolated TiCl4 molecules (phase-I). At 0.5 GPa this structure undergoes a transition to phase-II, which is...

Diamond nanoparticles (nanodiamonds) are a constituent of diverse systems including interstellar dusts and meteorites or carbonaceous residues of detonation. Nanodiamonds have a...

In this work we explore how our rationally designed peptide amphiphiles bind onto lipid monolayers using neutron reflection combined with deuterium labelling to the lipids,...

Mg-K phosphate cements (MPC) are used for nuclear waste encapsulation, bone repair, and in civil engineering. The chemical nature of the first amorphous reaction product is...

The keris is the distinctive weapon of Malaysia and Indonesia. It is found in a variety of forms but, typically, it is an elongated dagger or short sword of slender proportions...

Following our previous study of adsorption of Fc, Fab and the constituent mAb COE-3, we continue to explore how two bioengineered mAbs adsorb at the oil/water interface by...

The aim of this proposal is to perform a neutron diffraction determination of the first perdeuterated Mn-Prussian Blue (PB) analogue of composition: Mn(II)3 [Mn(III)(CN)6]2...

The Heusler alloys Ni-Mn-Ga are widely considered as a new generation of multifunctional smart materials due to the mutual interplay between structural and magnetic properties...

We have initiated a new research programme that seeks to correlate features of the crystal structures of energetic materials (explosives, propellants) with their sensitivities...

We aim to perform inelastic neutron scattering (INS) measurements at the TOSCA spectrometer to study the vibrational behaviour of designer Guest@MOF composite systems (e.g....

We request 4 days on TOSCA to investigate the instrumental performance of the spectrometer, and to create from scratch an ad-hoc database for instrument-model validation.Two...

Back up experiment to fill gap in the schedule if beamtime is available

Hydrogen bonds are ubiquitous in materials across the chemical spectrum, from inorganic to biological. They influence the structure, the functionality, and therefore the...

During the operation of nuclear plants, several fission products are released. Among them, radioiodine is considered one of the most important due to its tendency to form...

The main goal of the present proposal is to evaluate the high selectivity of a special type of MOF material (ZIF-7) confined in the cavities of nano porous activated carbons....
