The proposed experiment involves measurement of the structural changes during the ferroelectric rhombohedral to antiferroelectric orthorhombic phase transformation in PZT...

The Indonesian government has recently passed a new policy regarding a mandatory regulation for all gas stations nationwide to replace existing diesel fuel to B-20 biofuel....

We intend to perform the magnetic field penetration depth \lambda measurements on theoxygen reduced and Nb-doped SrTiO_3 -- the first oxide superconductors where two-gap...

We investigated the influence of sulfur on a well-known methanation catalyst, nickel on alumina/silica, so as to gain more information about sulfur poisoning. By different...

Bio-oil can be obtained from the pyrolysis of biomass and maintains a closed carbon cycle with no net increase in atmospheric CO2 level, making the environment cleaner. However,...

In low-pressure methanol synthesis from fossil synthesis gas, Cu/ZnO/Al2O3-catalysts are successfully used in industrial synthesis at 250°C and 50-100 bar, but the exact...

Our general aim is to understand the defect structure of complex oxides in ternary oxide systems, which are known to be effective selective oxidation catalysts. For this purpose...

The Indonesian government has pledged to ensure that all gas stations in Indonesia switch from diesel fuel to a biofuel blend produced from palm oil by 2025, as part of its...

For the first time, the research team aim to use INS to characterise a series of new high specification methane reforming catalysts. The enhanced performance of these catalysts...

The oxygen transport membrane is a system being developed by St Andrews in conjunction with industry, which at high temperatures will allow the selective migration of oxygen...

We measure electron-hole recombination rate in low-temperature pure silicon using the photo-MuSR technique. The previous works have measured the recombination rate down to -30...

The usual assumption that the muon's polarisation relaxes to zero at long times may be incorrect at high B and low T: for 5T and 30mK the Brillouin function gives P=49%. We plan...

Small gold nanoparticles (1-5 nm) supported on metal oxides are extremely active catalysts for C-C coupling, aerobic oxidations and selective hydrogenations. The interaction of...

The colossal magnetoresistance effect in manganites arises from a competition between delocalisation, which favours a ferromagnetic metallic phase, and localisation of electons...

Tuning the colour of electrochromic conducting polymers can be achieved by layer upon layer deposition of multiphase components. This approach can offer advantages over other...

For many Heusler compounds a spin polarisation close to 100% was predicted by band structure calculations. Thus if those materials are incorporated in magnetic tunnel junctions,...

In this experiment we propose to perform diffraction on isotopically substituted samples of Ca/Yb:ND/H3 and Ca/Yb:15ND3 at two concentrations (8 and 2 MPM) using the new NIMROD...

The proposed experiment is to observe optical spin-injection in Silicon through MuSR detection. An important part of research in next generation electronics focusses on the...

A previous allocation of beamtime on MAPS [RB720354] revealed the vibrational fingerprint of methane reforming catalysts operating under so-called ¿dry¿ reforming conditions....

Recent infrared measurements by one of the applicants (GR) have shown that CO and CO2 adsorption on alumina-supported palladium catalysts form a variety of carbonate species. In...
