Absolute normalisation of spectra in DINS experiments:exploring the route to ...
The aim of this proposal is to investigate in the methodology of Deep Inelastic Neutron Scattering (DINS) data analysis, with especial emphasis in the absolute normalisation of... -
Incommensurate-commensurate phase transitions in K2SeO4
Materials with incommensurate structures often show exotic properties (such as charge density waves). The development of reliable and efficient refinement techniques for such... -
Environmental Apatites
Materials adopting the apatite structure are gaining an increasing importance as potential solid-oxide fuel cell electrolytes and for the chemical stabilisation of high level... -
High Temperature Spin Transition in LaCoO3
We aim to continue our investigation of the high temperature magnetic interactions in LaCoO3. Our previous experiment has confirmed magnetic susceptibility data, with a change... -
Stochastic vs. Intermolecular Motions in Strongly Associated Liquids: The Cas...
Neutron scattering is a powerful technique to study stochastic motions in liquids but it requires an energy resolution well below the meV range. As a consequence, quasielastic... -

High resolution INS spectra of hydrocarbonaceous overlayers formed on novel m...
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 structures of simple halogen bridged complexes
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... -

Magnetic interactions in honeycomb iridates Na2IrO3
We propose to study the magnetic excitation spectrum of Na2IrO3 with inelastic neutron scattering. Na2IrO3 is a promising candidate to realize Kitaev interaction. By mapping out... -
Simultaneous INS and Raman studies of lysozyme
The proposers have obtained a dispersive Raman spectrometer that is fibre optically coupled to a custom centrestick that will allow simultaneous Raman and neutron measurements.... -
Investigating the role of beta-phase morphology on deformation twinning in a ...
Zr alloys are used in cores of nuclear reactors because they are relatively transparent to neutrons, which helps the efficiency of a nuclear reactor. However, as any material... -
Investigating the excitation spectrum of a single-band Hubbard model compound...
The single band Hubbard model is considerably the simplest effective model that includes both the delocalizing/hopping energy and the on-site interaction for describing strongly... -
Understanding anaesthetics: Ethanol partitioning into lipid membranes, effect...
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.... -
Strain/order parameter coupling and anomalous elastic properties of Sr(Ti,Zr)...
HRPD data will be collected in situ at low and high temperatures from perovskites belonging to the Sr(ZrxTi1-x)O3 solid solution which have recently been characterised for their... -
Investigating the effect of pore structure upon interactions of hydrogen with...
Three MOFs samples with high hydrogen storage capacities at 77K, and high surface area, are willing to be analyzed. In order to investigate hydrogen interactions within the... -
Mechanical twinning in quartz rocks: in situ experiments at stress and during...
Previous experiments at ENGIN-X (Wenk et al. 2007) established that quartz rocks undergo mechanical twinning if stressed above 100 MPa. The amount of twinning is highly... -
Dynamics of an antimicrobial oligopeptide
Abstract. In experiments at LLB and ILL we have measured low-resolution INS spectra and elastic scans for H2O- and D2O-hydrated samples of a 15-residue oligopeptide between 30... -
Discrete breathers in the high-temperature vibrational spectra of alkali halides
Inelastic neutron measurements on some selected polycrystalline alkali halides (namely LiBr, LiI, NaBr, NaI), where the mass difference between anions and cations is large, are... -
Contributions of ¿NH3+ torsions to phase transitions of glycine
It is proposed to investigate the torsional dynamics of the ¿NH3+ group of glycine-d2 in its three polymorphic forms using quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS). This study is...
