Competitive interactions in polymer-particle-surfactant blends
Many formulations comprise distinct chemical species that exhibit antagonistic or synergistic interactions that result in unpredictable behaviour. Previous work from our group... -
Kinetics of Benzene Hydrogenation Revisited in the Presence of Excess Liquid
Heterogeneous catalysis, where the reagents are either contained in a liquid medium, or are liquids in their own right, plays a significant part of the chemical industry. These... -
Investigation of giant crystal electric field (CEF) splitting in CeIr3Si2
CeIr3Si2 exhibits highly anisotropic bulk properties with two magnetic transitions at TN1 ~ 3.9 K and TN2 ~ 3.1 K. The overall CEF splitting of the J=5/2 ground multiplet of... -
Recrystallisation of LiCl-doped ice under pressure
In recent high pressure experiments (S. Klotz et al., Nature Materials, DOI 10.1038/ NMAT2422, 23.4.2009) we discovered a salt hydrate based on a high-pressure ice form, i.e.... -
Structure of zinc sulfide quantum dots from reverse Monte Carlo refinement
Zinc sulfide nanoparticles have a wide range of potential applications, in particular due to their optical properties. Research has enabled ZnS nanoparticles to be prepared with...
