Our main objective in this proposal is to study the competition between halogen and hydrogen bonding as a function of temperature in the complex (CH3)2C=O--- Br2. The results of...

The hypothetical connection between liquid water and the two liquid phases: Low Density Liquid (LDL) and High Density Liquid (HDL) has been difficult to prove experimentally...

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) typically contain four or more principle elements in approximately equimolar amounts. It was recently discovered by the co-proposer that a...

It is commonly accepted that the recording of holograms with atomic resolution requires singlecrystalline samples. Closer analysis, however, shows that the reduced information...

Spin ice (SI) is a state of matter characterized by a residual (Pauling) entropy and unusual correlations. The huge interest in SI materials from the magnetism community stems...

We have prepared some new mixed-metal oxides using a chemical synthesis approach that provides access to materials not seen using other techniques. The materials are potentially...

Standard diffraction studies of PrBCO and YBCO show that these two compounds are isostructical. However, if any Pr/Ba disorder is present in PrBCO, the diffuse scattering signal...

In June 1813, several ships from a combined fleet that unsuccessfully tried to liberate Tarragona from Napoleonic forces ran aground in the Ebro Delta (Catalonia coast, Spain)....

TWIP (TWinning-Induced Plasticity) steels are a class of Mn-containing steels that display excellent elongation to fracture even at high strain rates, making them very...

We propose a high-resolution neutron powder diffraction study of the complexes 1, 4-dioxane X2, where X = Cl, Br, I. These are the simplest halogen-bonded complexes in which a...

In 2020, strict legislations will be introduced, further restricting the CO, NOx, and hydrocarbon gas emission for motorcycles (MCs). In this industrial postdoc project,...

Zr is used extensively in nuclear reactors worldwide in a broad range of microstructural conditions due to its thermomechanical, corrosion and neutronic properties. However the...

NiAl-Cr-Mo eutectic composites show promising characteristics regarding their usage for high-temperature structural applications. The composites consist of the intermetallic...

Electron beam (EB) welding is a well-established and frequently used joining method within the aerospace industry. A numerical model, using a commercial weld-simulation package...

With fantastic flux gains over its liquid conterpart, a solid methane moderator is essential to the newly built Second Target Station at ISIS. Unfortunately, it is notoriously...

The aim of this proposal is to develop a methodology to investigate multicomponent glass structure, combining neutron diffraction, XRD, NMR, ab initio MD, and RMC. We wish to...

Stress-free lattice parameter measurements in d0 cubes extracted from a nuclear power plant mock-up dissimilar metal weld have exhibited wide scatter among different...

The magnetoelectric Y-type hexaferrites demonstrate coupling between magnetism and electric polarisation in relatively small applied magnetic fields, and are hence candidate...

The experiment wishes to measure the strain profiles across 12 mm thick reference ceramics slabs especially produced to minimize and maximize thermal stress during cooling. The...

To our knowledge, the length of the U¿H single bond has never been accurately measured, at least not in a molecular compound by single-crystal neutron diffraction. We currently...
