Studying weakly hydrophobic guest hydrates and ammonia-water gas ternaries by...
The proposing team has a well established experience in the use of INS on samples containing molecular hydrogen. Our recent experimental results on various types of H2 clathrate... -
Reversible Redox in a Cerium (IV) Germanate Scheelite: a New Oxygen Storage M...
Materials that show oxide-ion mobility (solid electrolytes) and/or reversible uptake and release of oxygen (oxygen storage materials) have important uses in applications... -
Local and long-range ordering in concentrated nanotube solutions
Manipulating nanoparticles in liquids is crucial for their scalable implementation in future technologies. For example, such liquids can be used like paint to create uniform... -
Unpicking the signal of partial order from thermal motion in diffuse scatteri...
Orientationally-disordered water molecules in ice adopt a degree of partial order upon cooling, a process that is halted by kinetics at ~100 K in pure ice and ~60 K in KOH-doped... -
Complex structural modelling of amorphous [Au(SPh)]n and [M(1,2,4-triazole)2(...
Coordination polymers (CPs) with reversible phase changes between amorphous and crystalline states have recently become of interest for potential Phase-Change Memory... -
Muon probes of hydrogen-bond network in supercooled water
Muon diamagnetic fraction in liquid water is known to decrease with decreasing temperature probably because its formation mechanism results from the structural alternation and... -
Graphene Surface Functionalisation Effect on Hydrogen Spillover
Hydrogen spillover involves dissociation of molecular hydrogen at the surface of metals, particularly transition metals, followed by migration of the hydrogen atoms across the... -
CO2 adsorption selectivity in microporous MOF's based on Cu2 paddle-wheels
Metal-organic framework (MOF) materials are a kind of inorganic-organic hybrid materials with a open modular molecular architecture. Such a modularity opens a plethora of... -
Ozonation of organic films at the air-water interface of atmospheric aerosol
The Earth¿s climate is strongly influenced by atmospheric aerosols. Organic surfactant films on these aerosols influences their size, optical properties and ability to act as... -
Negative thermal expansion in the rutile phase of ZnF2
It has recently been discovered than the rutile phase of zinc fluoride shows negative thermal expansion along all three crystallographic axes. What is highly unusual about this...
