Materials with large caloric effects offer the opportunity to replace current refrigeration technologies that require the compression of hazardous gases. Barocaloric materials...

The development of decorated metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is important for enhancing gas storage and mixed gas separation systems. This proposed QENS study will investigate...

The ferromagnetic transition Tc=41 K of CeIr3B2 is the second highest Tc recorded after CeRh3B2 in among Ce-based compounds makes it an interesting candidate to investigate...

A large amount of contemporary research by both chemists and physicists is focused on exploiting the spin of electrons with the attempt of revolutionising the current technology...

By combining OSIRIS/IN16 elastic window and QENS data we better understand dynamics in lyophilised apoferritin. This complimentary approach reveals that the observed decrease in...

In recent years nano- and microparticles composed of polymeric or lipid material have been proposed as drug carriers. Their use allows the modification of the biopharmaceutic...

Our previous INS studies of ¿dry¿/hydrated apoferritin show that the hydrated protein undergoes a dynamical transition, Td, at 200K. Such behavior, first modeled by Doster et al...

Using ISIS facilities, our team has discovered three new phases of ice: ices XIII, XIV and XV. These phases form in the presence of small amounts of hydrochloric acid. Yet, the...

Highly oxidized transition metal cations in oxides tend to display unusual electronic and magnetic behavior due to the highly covalent nature of the M-O interactions. Iron is of...

This proposal is for time to search for predicted gas hydrates at high pressure. The results will provide insight into the factors governing the stability of the H-bonded...

We have recently begun to look at how large, polarisable alkalides (group 1 metal anions) are solvated in solution. This proposal aims to determine how ethylamine is able to...

Faster-than-expected ageing is observed in some seeds (e.g. orchids, coffee, citrus, willows) stored dry at -20°C, the standard temperatures of seed banks. This ageing has been...

NaCr2O4 is a Q1D TMO that offers a rich range of properties from the view point of fundamental science as well as from the view point of applied science. Indeed on one hand...

Due to the importance of developing efficient biomass conversion processes, the mobility of lignin constituents phenol and catechol in zeolite Beta will be studied using QENS....

The Mn(II) phases LaSrMnO3.5 and LaBaMnO3.5 have been prepared by the topotactic reduction of LaSrMnO4 and LaBaMnO4 respectively. Preliminary neutron diffraction data show that...

Ag3LiRu2O6 is a honeycomb transition metal oxide compound that is remarkable for the complete absence of long range spin order despite a strong magnetic susceptibility of ~2.5...

Conductive polymers (CP) show desirable physicochemical properties, with CP-based nanocomposites being manufactured for various applications i.e. sensors The filler particles...

Following a recently succesfull measurement of the structure of a monolayer of n-butane adsorbed on MgO we wish to perform neutron diffraction measurements of monolayers of...

In this proposal we will pioneer the use of QENS in combination with molecular biology mutagenesis and in silico design to guide the re-engineering of a glycoside hydrolase,...

Electroceuticals is the attempt to “…speak the electrical language of the nerves to achieve higher treatment effect”. Thus, the search is on to develop devices to enhance...
