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...

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...

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...

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...

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....

The Methanol-to-Hydrocarbons reaction uses methanol as feedstock, and turns it into more industrially relevant products via a ZSM-5 catalyst. There is a lack of fundamental...

We have recently characterised a surface wetting transition for a low molecular weight oligomer in a high molecular weight rubbery polymer. Although weak surface segregation of...

The research of new porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is receiving considerable attention worldwide owing to their potential for gas adsorption, storage and separation. We...

There are a number of room temperature multiferroics based on BiFeO3. The BiFeO3 - PbTiO3 (BFPT) system shows ferroelectric and antiferromagnetic ordering at room temperature...

Cells are complex systems where small fragments play an interdependent role. The functionality of these systems can be distinct at different length and timescales, depending on...

Fullerene and its derivatives have become materials of great technological interest due to their growing success as electron acceptors in organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs)....

The development of new porous MOFs is receiving considerable attention worldwide owing to their potential for gas storage, separation, and purification. We seek to develop a...

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...

The main goal of the present proposal is to evaluate the methane hydrate formation in nanocavities of ZIF-90 using inelastic neutron scattering (INS) measurements. Recently, we...
