Revising the onset of anharmonicity in proteins
Our previous INS studies of ¿dry¿/hydrated apoferritin show that the hydrated protein undergoes a dynamical transition, Td, at 200K. Such behavior, first modeled by Doster et al... -
Clarifying the role of acid and base dopants in the hydrogen-ordering phase t...
Using ISIS facilities, our team has discovered three new phases of ice: ices XIII, XIV and XV. These phases form in the presence of small amounts of hydrochloric acid. Yet, the... -
Measurement of surface diffusion on Raney nickel
Many catalysts work by adsorbing molecules onto their surface to from a more concentrated phase, which increases the likelihood of reactants colliding, and reacting to form a... -
H2 diffusion in filled ice prepared between 3 and 5 kbar
We propose to study the diffusion of molecular hydrogen (H2, HD and D2) trapped in C0 filled ice prepared at high pressure (3-5 kbar). These systems have a relevant scientific... -
The intermediate stages of hydrogen disorder to order phase transitions in ice
In recent years, our team has discovered three new phases of ice: ices XIII, XIV and XV. On the basis of calorimetric data and some limited diffraction data collected on GEM we... -
Cs mixed cation lead perovskites
Organic-inorganic hybrid halide perovskites combine the optoelectronic properties commonly associated with high performance semiconductors with materials synthesis or processing... -
Elucidating sodium diffusion mechanisms in layered sodium transition metal ox...
Affordable large-scale energy storage systems with improved capacity are crucial to a sustainable energy future, and the great availability of Na in sea water makes Na-ion... -
Investigating the diffusion of cyclic oximes in hierarchically-porous catalys...
Caprolactam (CL) is a high-value chemical precursor to nylon-6. On an industrial scale an aggressive liquid-acid catalyst is used to transform C6-oxime to CL. Due to... -
Me-ND311BD4: a temperature dependent study of its crystal structure and decom...
We request 4 days on HRPD with the IGAn apparatus to follow the structural changes of Me-ND4 11BD4 as a function of temperature. The high resolution of HRPD will allow us to... -
Texture memory and variant selection for steel and titanium and zirconium alloys
The proposed experiment will focus on determining the level of texture memory and variant selection on both heating and cooling for steel and titanium and zirconium alloys with...
