An INS Study of the Effect of Pressure on the Crystal Structure Titanium Tetr...
TiCl4 forms a molecular structure containing isolated tetrahedral molecules on cooling to 248 K. The freezing pressure of TiCl4 is 0.05 GPa (500 atm). Single crystal growth... -
Insulator to metal transition in TiOCl at high pressures
We propose to study the high temperature structure of TiOCl where a pressure induced metal to insulator transition has been reported recently by Kuntscher et al.Due to our... -
Muon probes of hydrogen-bond network in supercooled water
Muon diamagnetic fraction in liquid water is known to decrease with decreasing temperature probably because its formation mechanism results from the structural alternation and... -
Neutron Powder Diffraction Experiments on Ternary Alkali Metal Palladium and ...
Na2PdC2 and Na2PtC2 are the first examples of ternary alkali metal transition metal acetylides. They were synthesized and structurally characterised by our group in 2001 based... -
Non-equilibrium kinetics in highly interacting polymer mixtures
We seek to investigate the non-equilibrium phenomena of a model polymer mixture by time-solved SANS and temperature jump experiments within (a) one-phase region and (b) one to... -
Spin-phonon coupling in heavy fermion CeAuAl3 and CeCuAl3 compounds
To understand this novel ground state of CeCuAl3, we have carried out low and high-energies inelastic neutron scattering (INS) measurements using the IRIS and HET spectrometers.... -
Exploring local structure in hydrated LiRAPs using pair distribution function...
Many of the devices currently used for energy storage (e.g., batteries, solar cells) use liquid electrolytes that are known to pose a serious fire and safety risk. In recent... -
Studies of Free Radical Final States on Au nanoparticles by RF-muSR and ALC S...
Small-sized metal nanoparticles (NPs) are of long standing interest to both magnetism and heterogeneous catalysis. Recent µSR studies of bare Au NPs encapsulated in mesoporous... -
The search for ALC resonances in TRP-TYR: pioneering spatial and temporal res...
Electron transfer (ET) processes in peptides and proteins are key steps in the functioning of several natural enzymes including DNA photolyase and ribonucleitide reductase,... -
Simultaneous measurements of ND, BET, PGAA and NR at INES beam line
Neutron based techniques for materials study are important in fields ranging from chemistry, physics and archaeometry. Neutron diffraction gives information on phases and... -
Further SANS contrast measurements on important protein/DNA interactions from...
This proposal is to perform further SANS contrast measurements on three protein/DNA interactions currently worked on at the Research Complex at Harwell. This is part of an...
