Although the surface properties and self-organisation of end-functional polymers in amorphous blends are well understood, the influence of crystallinity has received little...

The recent interest in carbon-based materials like graphene stimulated a deeper analysis of the magnetism in graphite defects. In a previous µSR experiment we observed an...

We request 3 days’ beam time on POLARIS for in-situ powder diffraction studies of the reactions of lithium amide or lithium imide with manganese(IV) oxide under flowing argon or...

Ammonia is seen as a key part of the transition to a sustainable energy economy, but needs decomposition catalysts to release its stored hydrogen. Lithium nitride-hydride...

NOx emissions from the energy and transport sectors represent a major hazard to human health and this has been the focus of significant industrial and academic research. One of...

Asphaltenes are a complex and problematic fraction of crude oil that can precipitate, alter wettability and stabilise unwanted oil-in-water emulsions. Asphaltenes have a high...

Triglycine sulfate is one of the few genuinely second-order ferroelectric phase transitions. As for many ferroelectric phase transitions in complex and molecular systems, there...

Due to the importance of developing efficient biomass conversion processes, the mobility of lignin constituents phenol and catechol in zeolite Beta will be studied using QENS....

Research on organic photo-voltaics (PVs) has increased dramatically in the last few years, owing to the promise of low manufacturing costs, high production throughput and large...

We propose to study two aspects of the hydrogen dynamics in complex hydrides:First: The structural transitions in borohydrides are believed to be connected with an increase in...

We propose to use Polaris to record powder neutron diffraction data for the oxygen deficient double perovskite Sr3SbO5.5 as a function of temperature to establish the...

Light metal amides and imides are a new class of highly active ammonia decomposition catalysts. Indeed, composites of lithium imide and transition metal nitrides are likely to...

The aim of this experiment is to explore a very recent discovery made by ourselves that shear flow can suppress the nucleation and growth of crystals of specific low molar mass...

Oxides of 5d elements such as Ir and Os have been attracting much attention as candidates to realize novel types of electronic ground states stabilized by the strong spin orbit...

Previous studies have suggested that a high-pressure form of the widely used secondary explosive RDX can be obtained above ~4 GPa and 488 K. This phase is reported to be...

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 batteries are used in applications were high reliability is a key requirement. They can be stored for decades and activated in less than a second. Most contemporary...

The proposal regards new low freezing transfer fluids materials for Solar Plants, which are currently a field of the highest interest. In general, mixtures commonly employed as...

We propose to study a range of new lower energy gap organic photovoltaic (OPV) materials deposited by spray coating using neutron reflectivity. The new materials to be studied...

The present research proposal focuses on solving technological challenges associated with the implementation of components of Nickel superalloys produced by Additive...
