Study of pore-confined CO2 depletion below the bulk triple point
Freezing of fluids confined at the nanoscale is of great importance for the understanding of their behaviour due to the confinement effects arising from the finite pore size and... -
Revealing the structures of porous liquids
New technological advances require new types of materials. For example, currently there is no economical technology for capturing carbon dioxide released from power plants. We... -
Equation of state and phase transitions of the cubic NTE material Cd(CN)2 - c...
Cubic cadmium(II) cyanide shows the most pronounced isotropic negative thermal expansion (NTE) effect known, with behaviour more than twice as extreme as that of better known... -
Understanding the barocaloric effect in Mn3NiN using neutron diffraction
Materials with large caloric effects offer the opportunity to replace current refrigeration technologies that require the compression of hazardous gases. Whilst magnetocaloric... -
Origin of Anomalous Thermal Expansion in Ih phase of Protonated (H2O) and Deu...
Among the all known crystalline ice phases, ice (Ih phase) exhibits anomalous thermal expansion behavior. We propose to measure phonon density of state of protonated ice (H2O)... -
Copy of: Division of the supercritical fluid state into liquid- and gas-like ...
In recent years, the long-standing belief that beyond the critical point, matter exhibits no clear transition between liquid-like and gas-like states has been questioned. A line... -
Compositional and microstructural analysis of iron meteorites through time of...
Iron meteorites consist overwhelmingly of nickel-iron alloys. The metal taken from these meteorites is known as meteoric iron and was one of the earliest sources of usable iron... -
Study of gas absorption in MCM41.
We have studied the absorption of nitrogen gas in MCM41 on NIMROD at a pressure of 1 bar and at temperatures to 87K (A K Soper and D T Bowron, Chem. Phys. Lett., DOI:... -
Compressible Liquids Part 2
Liquids are commonly known to be incompressible. However, a recently invented class of materials called Porous Liquids, which exhibit permanent porosity in the liquid phase, are... -
Diffusion in a zeolite under flow conditions
Quasielastic neutron scattering is often used to measure the diffusion of organic materials inside the pores of catalysts. Although generally performed in a sealed system, a... -
Looking for the elusive alpha tin phase
The characteristics of metal alloys have always been considered crucial for the sound quality of organ pipes. Tin-rich materials were studied for conservation issues, like the... -
Negative thermal expansion in ReO3: anomalous variation with temperature
ReO3 is a well-known oxide framework with unusual thermal expansion behaviour, exhibiting multiple regions of both positive and negative thermal expansion (NTE). We propose to... -
Hydrogen in the breeding blanket materials for fusion reactors: A new insight...
Pb-Li alloy (Li 15.7-16.7at.%) is a candidate as tritium breeding blanket material for fusion reactors. Despite the extensive work reported in literature, the values of the... -
DINS scattering in supercritical water
The proposed experiment aims to explore in detail these two effects in a thermodynamic range at ~25 MPa over a temperature range of 280° to 600°C, never investigated before,... -
Round Robin on TOF Texture Analysis
In view of advances in texture research at pulsed neutron sources, we propose that ISIS participates in a 'Texture Round Robin' to benchmark the existing texture analysis... -
Exploration of the pressure-induced amorphization and glassy states of THF-cl...
Clathrate hydrates (CHs) are ice structures in which water molecules (host) form cages through hydrogen bonds. The cages can accommodate various types of molecules (guests),... -
Micellar modifiers for CO2
This proposal focuses on a new approach to the formation of rod-like micelles in supercritical CO2 (scCO2). Recent successful high-pressure SANS (HP-SANS) results have shown for... -
Solvation structure of propane/propene in [C4mim][NTf2] ionic liquid
Supported ionic liquid membranes offer potentially lower-energy alternatives to cryogenic distillation for the separation and isolation of light gas olefins (ethene and propene)... -
Structure of Confined Salivary Films
Lubrication by saliva is a key factor in oral health and food consumption. It is know that salivary lubrication is mediated by the thin proteinaceous film i.e., the pellicle,... -
Uptake of Molecular Hydrogen by High-performance Carbon Nanostructures (IRIS)
High sorption capacities and enhanced interaction strengths are the two most fundamental prerequisites for the deployment of carbon-based materials as hydrogen-storage media. In...
