We propose to employ the neutron Compton scattering (NCS) in the realm of ionic liquids (iL), applying it to the protiated and deuterated variants of an archetipic IL, phosporic...

We request 3 days on POLARIS to study the detailed crystal structure of a sodium battery cathode material that is currently under consideration for use in commercial sodium...

From the archaeometric point of view, very few studies have been performed on late antiquecopper-alloys, mainly by means of destructive techniques.The present study opens up...

We propose a detailed study of the interfacial structuring of a non-halogenated, and tribologically relevant, ionic liquid (IL) at an electrified interface, as a function of...

The two main pillars of the current research in molecular magnetism are the possibilities of exploiting molecules as classical bits in high-density magnetic memories or as...

During the setting process of Portland cement, different mineral hydrates nucleate and grow, of which calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) is the most important binding phase. It is...

This proposal is part of a research programme at Reading which is focused on thermoresponsive supramolecular gels formed from self-assembling metallo organic polymers. These...

SrCu$_2$(BO$_3$)$_2$ (SCBO) is a very much studied quantum magnet that is most well known for its ground state of coupled singlets and multiple magnetization plateaux. Recently,...

Glycerol, a sugar alcohol with three hydroxyl groups, is a rich and complex system for the study of hydrogen bonded fluids and has been the subject of long-standing scientific...

Ho2-xYxSn2O7 is characterized by degenerate magnetic ground-states, which involve the magnetic structure for x->0 (Spin-Ice phase) and the two-fold degeneracy of the...

The properties of methane ammonia water mixtures are crucial for models of how the outer planets evolved and yet have not been much studied. This proposal is for beamtime to...

Zeolites are incredibly useful porous aluminosilicate materials. We use them both domestically (pool water purification, washing powders, pet litter, odor removal, water...

Thus proposal seeks to explore the nature of electrospun composite fibres where the polymeric material contains a substantial quantity of biopolymer obtained from food waste -...

The solution chemistry of Pt(II) and Pd(II) cations has attracted experimental and theoretical attention because of their relevance in catalytic processes and the...

There is widespread interest in perovskite materials, with work traditionally focusing on simple oxide systems. In recent years, however, there has been growing interest in the...

Ab initio computer simulations have suggested that pre-melting phenomena occur in the elastic properties of hcp-iron at the conditions of the Earth’s inner core just before...

Epsomite is known to undergo a series of phase transitions up to 3 GPa at room temperature, a pressure regime which is of relevance to the interiors of icy planetary bodies,...

Al2SiO5 forms three naturally-occurring polymorphs, kyanite, andalusite and sillimanite. These minerals are produced by varying degrees of metamorphism of sedimentary rocks, the...

Ethanol plays an important role in the human metabolism. It is in particular known to act as a drug enhancer by increasing trans-membrane permeability, and as an anesthetic....

Radial forging is an open-die forging process utilizing radially moving dies for producing of cylindrical/tubular components with different internal and external profiles. The...
