Na-ion diffusion mechanisms in NaxFe1/2Mn1/2O2 cathode materials
NaxFe1/2Mn1/2O2 has been identified as a potential cathode material for Na-ion batteries since it has comparable electrochemical performance to commercially available Li-ion... -
Monomer dynamics in polymer nanocomposites
We have recently shown that the addition of single walled carbon nanotubes produces a minimum in the diffusion coefficient with increasing nanoparticle concentration. Initially,... -
Interactions of modified clupeines with Gram-negative model bilayers
Clupeine is isolated from herring and is an example of a protamine, which are cationic antimicrobial peptides occurring in the sperm cells of some fish. Protamines are active... -
The role of water in homogeneous catalytic processes mediated by water solubl...
A large number of chemicals are currently obtained by catalytic synthetic processes, but usually in most of these processes the catalyst remains in the reaction medium during... -
Bio-inspired Ionic Liquids for Lignin Dissolution
Biomass is a renewable source of fuel and fine chemicals. Although naturally abundant, it is heterogeneous and recalcitrant to biodegradation. Current industrial strategy is to... -
Oxygen Dynamics in Y2O3 doped Bi2O3: (Bi0.8Y0.2)2O3 and (Bi0.6Y0.4)2O3
The high ionic conducting delta-phase of Bi2O3 can be stabilized at ambient temperature in a range of compositions, viz., (Bi1-xYx)2O3 (x=0.1 -0.5). We would measure inelastic... -
Local magnetic order and the paramagnetic-parmagnetic transition in MnO
The antiferromagnetic-paramagnetic transition in MnO at 118 K occurs at a much lower temperature than anticipated from its Curie-Weiss constant theta~550 K. Consequently, strong... -
Total Scattering Study of Caesium and Thallium Azides
This proposal seeks to conduct total-scattering studies on thallium and caesium azides to investigate the effect of temperature on the atomic motions, particularly of the azide... -

Are La3Ni2NbO9 and La3Ni2TaO9 relaxor ferromagnets?
A relaxor ferroelectric exhibits a net polarisation only in an applied electric field due to the co-alignment of polar nanoregions. In La3Ni2SbO9 we found the magnetic... -
Investigation on Proton Dynamics of Ethylene Glycol Using Quasielastic Neutro...
Ethylene glycol is an industrially important alcohol used as anti-freeze. The presence of intra and inter-molecular hydrogen bonding in its liquid and solid state form makes the... -
Variable temperature study of the structure of the new bimetallic, mixed anio...
We propose 1 day of beam-time on GEM to probe changes in the crystal structure of the new fast Li+ conducting mixed-cation, mixed-anion phase, Li0.5Na0.5(BD4)0.83I0.17 as a... -
Probing atomic and mesoscale structural correlations in 1-alkyl-3-methylimida...
This proposal aims to extend our understanding of ionic liquid structure by performing measurements that will complement the data previousy collected on SANDALS. We propose to... -
Effects of Chiral Components on the Structure of Deep Eutectic Solvents
Deep eutectic solvents (DES) are novel liquids composed of inexpensive components, and are non-flammable, with a low volatility. One problem with DES is frequently their... -
Copy of: Interactions between Diatrizoic acid and water in pre-nucleation clu...
The formation of water containing crystal forms, so-called hydrates, is a real problem for the pharmaceutical industry. Hydrates show thermodynamically the lowest solubility in... -
Ammonia synthesis using lithium hydride-metal nitride composites: an in situ ...
The development of more active catalysts for the production of ammonia will have a worldwide impact on the energy cost of producing fertiliser. Composites of lithium hydride and...
