Intercalation of Ciprofloxacin into Lithium - Fluorohectorite at acid and bas...
Using quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) we will investigate the intercalation of Ciprofloxacin (CIPRO) into the synthetic clay Lithium Fluorohectorite (LiFh) to... -
In-situ neutron powder diffraction studies of non-stoichiometry in Na battery...
We request 3 days on POLARIS to study the detailed crystal structure of a sodium battery cathode material that is currently under consideration for use in commercial sodium... -
Thermal expansion of Mg: pre-melting effects in hcp metals and the Earth's in...
Ab initio computer simulations have suggested that pre-melting phenomena occur in the elastic properties of hcp-iron at the conditions of the Earths inner core just before... -
Structures and compositions of Li-conducting framework materials with low sym...
Re-chargeable Li ion batteries play a key role in modern consumer electronics and may have an important part to play as energy storage devices in a low carbon economy of the... -
Thermal expansion of kyanite, andalusite and sillimanite
Al2SiO5 forms three naturally-occurring polymorphs, kyanite, andalusite and sillimanite. These minerals are produced by varying degrees of metamorphism of sedimentary rocks, the... -
Solution structures of the immunologically important proteins IgA, IgG and C3
Abnormally glycosylated IgA leads to IgA nephropathy, the most common cause of renal failure. IgG antibody represents one-third of new drugs currently in development, and its... -
Degree of Host-Guest Molecular Interactions from Nanoscale Confinement of Dru...
The nanoscale pores in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can be exploited to confine small molecular guests to yield Guest@MOF composite systems. One interesting avenue is to... -
Anharmonicity and Tunnelling on the Potential Energy Surface of Ammonia
We request beam-time on the VESUVIO spectrometer in order to characterise the Potential Energy Surface of the Ammonia molecule through a neutron Compton scattering measurement.... -
Determination of the magnetic structures of low-dimensional binary metal thio...
Magnetic molecular framework materials, where the magnetic metal centres are linked together by molecules rather than single atoms, are a very exciting class of materials, as... -
Low Temperature Magnetic, Thermoelastic and Structural Behaviour of Antiferro...
We propose to study the low temperature structural and magnetic changes in three clinopyroxene phases FeGeO3, CaNiSi2O6 and CaCoSi2O6. All three phases order... -
Kinetics of Protein Adsorption on well-characterised polymer brushes
We wish to develop a rational understanding of the mechanisms underlying the way water soluble polymer brushes - in particular those of polyethylene oxide/polyethylene glycol -... -

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... -
Solid state phase transformations at very high temperature in a martensitic s...
Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is a technique of Additive Manufacturing of metallic parts. There are still several barriers of acceptance of that process in the industry and... -
Application of INS in order to identify the hydrocarbons retained within the ...
The Methanol-to-Hydrocarbons reaction uses methanol as feedstock, and turns it into more industrially relevant products via a ZSM-5 catalyst. There is a lack of fundamental... -
Na-Dynamics in Solid Ionic Conductors: 11Al2O3-Na2O and Na2Ti3O7
We would measure vibrational spectra as well as quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) spectra for beta- alumina (11Al2O3-Na2O) and Na2Ti3O7. The measurement of phonon spectra... -
Structures of phenol-ammonia and phenol-water compounds
Phenol-water and phenol-ammonia clusters are useful model systems for understanding the types of proton-transfer interactions that occur during photosynthesis in plants and... -
Reorientational dynamics in a low-dimensional glass
Most of the features exhibited by canonical glass-formers can also be found in systems with a high-degree of translational order. In addition to the well-known orientationally... -
Microstructural orientation mapping with a neutron beam
We propose to develop the means to measure the orientations, phases and strains of individual crystal grains within a polycrystal using neutrons. Such measurements have... -
Ba3MoNbO8.5 novel oxide ion conductor: Direct observation of oxide ion dynamics
Oxide ion conductors are researched as electrolytes in solid oxide fuel cells. Yttria-stabilized zirconia is the currently used electrolyte in SOFCs, leading to high operating...
