Solvent density fluctuations and H-bonding between solute molecules in superc...
Supercritical CO2 is an interesting medium for supercritical fluid extraction of aromatic molecules, due to the low temperatures and pressures needed to the process. Methanol is... -
In situ studies on hydride diffusion and exchange in alkaline earth hydrides ...
Thermogravimetric analysis on alkaline earth hydrides in St Andrews has revealed a remarkably fast exchange of deuterium and hydrogen by alkaline earth hydrides at relatively... -
Neutron Diffraction Studies of Vanadium Sulfate Cathode Materials
Vanadium based compounds have attracted considerable interest as positive electrode materials for Li ion batteries. This is due to vanadiums ability to display a range of... -
Solvent and drug diffusion in supramolecular gels
This proposal addresses issues related to understanding drug diffusion in supramoleculargels with view at fundamental pharmacological questions for drug delivery. Preliminary... -

The phase stability of alpha-glycine at high pressure
Though the beta and gamma forms of the simplest amino acid, glycine, yield a variety of different phases on application of pressure, Raman data suggest that the most common... -
The Power of Neutron Reflectivity for Batteries
Catastrophic failures of lithium batteries is a major safety concern, however our understanding and control over the mechanisms of these failures is still lacking. Lithium is... -
Model Amphiphilic Deep Eutectic Liquids
Deep eutectic liquids (DELs) - mixtures of high melting-point solids that form stable liquids near room temperature ¿ have recently emerged as a new class of novel solvents with... -
In situ studies on the decomposition of NaNH2 and possible formation of Na2NH.
Group 1 amides of general formula MNH2 are some of the most promising materials for hydrogen storage applications due to their relatively low temperatures of hydrogen evolution... -
Pair distribution function analysis of stacking disorder in ice
Very recently, the metastable cubic ice phase was renamed to stacking-disordered ice (ice Isd) in order to emphasise the fact that this form of ice contains not only cubic... -
Quasielastic intensity distribution and dispersion of low-energy magnetic exc...
In a number of recent experiments on the pure CeB6 compound, we have revealed strong quasielastic inten-sity in the normal (paramagnetic) state with a rich momentum-space... -
In-situ investigation of nitrogenation process of (Nd,Zr)Fe10Si2 alloys
Tetragonal R(Fe,M)12 compounds (R=rare earth, M transition metal or Si), with the ThMn12 structure, are good candidates as permanent magnet materials with reduced R content.... -
In-situ characterisation of mixed steel powders during simulated powder proce...
It is proposed that the lattice parameter change at high temperature is measured for a mix of 316L and SA508 grade 3 steel powders, by means of neutron diffraction in High... -
Characterization of local symmetry breaking in superconducting La2-xBaxCuO4 &...
The mechanism of high temperature superconductivity (HTSC) remains unresolved. Of particular interest is the origin of the mysterious pseudogap (PG, a partial gap in the... -
Short range magnetic order in the compositionally modulated Bi2Cr4/3Ni2/3O6 p...
It is particularly challenging to synthesize a novel multiferroic material as it seems that the mechanisms that allow ferromagnets and ferroelectrics to work are mutually... -
Production technology of ancient Orichalcum ingots
We propose neutron diffraction measurements on GEM aiming to characterize the production technology of a large and unique set of ancient orochalcum ingots. These were found near... -
Structure-property relationship of perovskites ABO3 (A=La,Ca,Sr, B=Ni,Co,Fe,M...
Perovskites are used in many applications such as electrode materials in fuel cells or as catalysts e.g. in syngas conversion, CO oxidation, N2O decomposition, or... -
Thermoelastic properties of ammonium sulfate, (ND4)2SO4, and the P-T dependen...
Ammonium sulfate exhibits a first-order phase transition upon cooling through ~ 224 K at room pressure, from a paraelectric to a ferroelectric crystal. There have been no... -
Na ion diffusion in clays for nuclear waste management
Clays are porous materials and planned to be used as barrier material in radioactive waste repositories. In this context understanding of water and solute diffusion on different... -
IN-SITU NEUTRON DIFFRACTION STUDIES OF METAL-HYDRIDE HYDROGEN STORAGE MATERIALS
Hydrogen storage is considered to be one of the principal technological barriers in the transition towards a hydrogen-based economy. In this proposal, we plan to look at the key...
