Oxygen Vacancy Clusters in Pure and Doped CeO2-d
Oxide ceramics based on ceria, CeO2, have been the subject of considerable research for the role of solid electrolyte within solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), since their ionic... -
Nanophase separation in monolayers of stratum corneum mixtures
There is considerable effort being put into the modelling of the outer layer of skin, the stratum corneum, because of impending EU restrictions on the use of animal skin for... -
Proton quantum delocalization in lithium imide studied through neutron Compto...
we propose deep inelastic neutron scattering measurements on VESUVIO to investigate the short time proton dynamics in Li2NH. The latter belongs to the Li-H-N system, which has... -
Vibrational Dynamics of Alkali Silicate Glasses - An Isotopic Mass Contrast S...
The present proposal is part of a larger EPSRC project advancing the vibrational spectroscopy of silicate glasses. The project involves the techniques of IR and Raman... -

Inelastic neutron scattering study on new Mott-insulating oxychalcogenides, L...
La2O2M2OSe2 (M=Fe, Co, Mn) are layered Mott-insulating antiferromagnets with a potential to be a non-copper high-Tc superconductor. All compounds have shown unusual magnetic... -
Magnetic excitations in mesoporous hematite
We have recently prepared mesoporous forms of various metals oxides. In some cases the imposition of a mesostructure changes other properties of the material significantly. One... -
SR study near the ferromagnetic quantum critical point in CePd1-xRhx ...
Rcently the NFL behaviour near an antiferromagnetic quantum critical point (AFQCP) has been investigated extensively. Very recently, we have investigated, for the first time,... -
Diffuse scattering in the paraelectric phase of titanite
Titanite consists of TiO6 octahedra arranged in chains. These are linked by SiO4 tetrahedra. At room temperature, Ti is slightly off-center resulting in an alternation of short... -
Helium quantum rattling in clathrate hydrate cages studied through neutron Co...
The proposing team is interested in exploring the low-temperature quantum "rattling" dynamics of helium atom(s) trapped in water-based cages (namely the so-called "clathrate... -
Phase-object approximation in neutron reflectometry
Recently De Haan et al. described the phase-object approximation for small angle neutron scattering. This method can be extended towards neutron reflectometry. Prelimenary... -
Lattice vibrations of hydrogen impurities in a solid neon matrix
In recent incoherent inelastic neutron scattering experiments we have shown that the anharmonic single-particle dynamics of H2 can be measured with high precision in quantum... -
Inelastic neutron scattering study on CeMnAsO and LaMnAsO
RMnAsO (R = Ce and La) are isostructural compounds with Fe-based oxypnictides, but has a unique properties as Mott insulator unlike the nonsuperconducting parent compounds of... -
Water-based gels of half N-acetylated chitosans; potential pharmaceutical exc...
These experiments are part of a much broader programme at the University of Reading. focused on the use of water-soluble half-acetylated chitosan as a mucoadhesive polymer,... -
Inelastic neutron scattering measurements on ErMn2D6
Hydrogen absorption in RMn2 Laves phases compounds lead either to RMn2Hx (where x < 4.5) interstitial hydrides under a moderate H2 pressure or to RMn2H6 complex hydrides... -

The aim of this proposal is a comprehensive structural investigation of a technologically-important perovskite-based ferroelectric material xBiScO3-(1-x)PbTiO3 through studying... -
Inelastic neutron scattering in the Ce3Co4Sn13 heavy Fermion compound
We propose to use the OSIRIS spectrometer to measure the inelastic magnetic scattering on the newly discovered heavy Fermion compound Ce3Co4Sn13. This compound has one of the... -
Neutron scattering studies of hydrogen rotational transitions in Ni-MOF-74
We propose to use MARI to look at the full rotational spectrum of H2 in Ni-MOF-74 obtaining the full momentum distribution for H2 only at the Ni metal site and one with partial... -
Inelastic neutron scattering of non-Fermi-liquid behaviour in Ce2PdIn8
For non-Fermi liquid compounds, the dynamical susceptibility, as determined from inelastic neutron scattering, is particularly interesting as it exhibits universal energy... -
Direct measurement of hydrogen storage capacities of nanoporous materials via...
Absolute hydrogen capacities of nanoporous storage materials cannot be accessed using conventional gas sorption experiments, but can be estimated by modelling experimental...
