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...

Coupling ferromagnatism and ferroelectriocity in a single phase material at or near room temperature has significant potential for the development of hybrid memory combining the...

Understanding and controlling the interaction of nanoparticles with biomaterials is key to alleviation of concerns about nanotoxicity. This knowledge can also be used to design...

Hydrotalcites are anionic clays which have a variety of applications, including use as environmentally friendly catalysts and catalyst precursors. In this experiment we propose...

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...

We have recently used INS to determine how a hydrogen pre-treatment stage of an iron based Fischer-Tropsch catalyst may modify catalytic performance. That work established how...

Supported palladium particles are used as catalysts in many processes. In the course of investigation of Pd-based catalysts used for the selective hydrogenation of nitro-arenes...

We have obtained the monolayer structure diffraction patterns from several iodoalkanes adsorbed on graphite, of interest in the study of non-covalent bonding. However, it is...

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...

Small-sized metal nanoparticles (NPs) are of long standing interest to both magnetism and heterogeneous catalysis. Muon studies of Au NPs encapsulated in 'SBA-15' silica are...

This proposal is part of a funded (CASE) project, aimed at understanding the delivery of benefit actives (perfumes) to interfaces and the development of new self-assembled...

We propose to characterize the two magnetic transitions in Nd0.75Gd0.25Rh3B2 and study the spin dynamics and field induced domain rotation via zero field (ZF) and longitudinal...

Alkali metals are well-known to form regularly-layered graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) which exhibit a number of novel and practically important structural and...

The molecular magnet [Sm(hfac)3(boaDTDA)]n is the first metal complex of a thiazyl-based neutral radical ligand to exhibit ferromagnetic ordering and was the subject of...

Hydrogen abstraction reactions are key steps in free radical mechanisms that dominate the combustion and atmospheric chemistry of the alkane hydrocarbons and, as such, merit...

We seek to develop highly robust MOF materials as high capacity gas storage systems and request 12 days on TOSCA to study the binding interaction between adsorbed gas molecules...

We propose to measure the spin wave dispersion and intensities throughout the Brillouin zone of the single layer half-doped manganite Pr0.5Ca1.5MnO4, whose ground state has the...

Very recently, we have studied the crystalline structure of the C0-phase H2-filled ice (recovered at room pressure and low temperature) and ice XVII, a new form of ice...

Small-sized metal nanoparticles (NPs) are of long standing interest to both magnetism and heterogeneous catalysis. Recent muSR studies of Au NPs encapsulated in mesoporous...

Existing fossil fuels are on the verge of extinction and thus in this scenario renewable fuels are need of hour. Hydrogen is potential energy source and can be stored in carbon...
