This application seeks to discover whether the catalyst handling protocols refined for INS measurements of a variety of heterogeneous catalytic systems can be further exploited... -
Simultaneous Raman and INS studies of high energy excitations in C70
The vibrational spectrum of C70 has been investigated by many techniques since it became available in significcant quantities. Previous INS spectra were recorded with small... -
Spin wave investigation in brownmillerite oxygen deficient perovskite Ca2Fe2O5
The Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction is thought to be responsible for the stabilization of weak ferromagnetism or magnetic spiral states in a number of diverse systems. An... -
Relaxation dynamics of a Dy-based single molecule magnet
Single-molecule magnets (SMM) exhibiting slow magnetic relaxation have attracted increasing interest, both from a fundamental point of view, and for the potential practical... -
The application of INS to investigate the methanol-to-gasoline reaction over ...
We propose to use MERLIN to measure INS from commercial zeolite catalyst samples extracted from a reactor in which they have been exposed to dimethylether for different lengths... -
INS Study of Cu-based methanol synthesis catalysts
In low-pressure methanol synthesis from fossil synthesis gas, Cu/ZnO/Al2O3-catalysts are successfully used in industrial synthesis at 250°C and 50-100 bar, but the exact... -

As part of a UK Catalysis Hub initiative in Catalyst Design involving a team of academic and industrial researchers, the methanol-to-gasoline reaction over zeolite catalysts is... -
Assignment of higher-order transitions in the vibrational spectrum of the nov...
This proposal requests 2 days on MERLIN to measure the INS spectrum of the novel perovskite type oxyhydride BaTiO3-xHx (x = 0.4). Prevision INS measurements, on TOSCA, have... -
High resolution INS spectra of hydrocarbonaceous overlayers formed on novel m...
For the first time, the research team aim to use INS to characterise a series of new high specification methane reforming catalysts. The enhanced performance of these catalysts... -
Q dependence of the low energy magnetic fluctuations in Intermediate Valence ...
A strong Q-dependence of the magnetic response at characteristic energy of EK~kBTK (TK is a Kondo temperature) has been observed in recent inelastic neutron scattering studies... -
The proton quantum states of the amorphous ices (MARI)
While we now have a complete picture of the average local and intermediate structures of the various amorphous ices, their dynamic behaviour (glass transition and defect... -
The partial vibrational density of states for As2Se3 glass
The method of Se isotope substitution with inelastic neutron scattering will be used to measure the partial VDOS for As2Se3 glass. This is a prototypical network forming... -
Spin waves in as-grown PLCCO-- How doping without annealing affects the spin ...
We propose to study the spin wave excitations of nonsuperconducting single crystal Pr0.88LaCe0.12CuO4 (PLCCO). Previous experiments on superconducting PLCCO have shown that spin... -
Study of covalent grafting of fluorophores on double-walled carbon nanotubes
The aim of the current proposal, which is on the framework of an ILL Ph.D. project is to characterise the interactions (covalent or non-covalent) between carbon nanotubes (CNTs)... -
Vibrational dynamics and proton sites in proton conducting perovskites
Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) operating at intermediate temperatures are a promising clean energy technology. At the heart of these devices is a proton conducting oxide... -
Inelastic neutron scattering measurements on ErMn2D6
Hydrogen absorption in RMn2 Laves phases compounds lead either to RMn2Hx (where x < 4.5) interstitial hydrides under a moderate H2 pressure or to RMn2H6 complex hydrides... -
Determination of the on-top vibrational mode of the surface hydride in PdH.
Finely divided supported palladium particles are used as catalysts in many technical processes. Using MAPS we have recently investigated the interaction of hydrogen with the... -
Ligand-field characterization and U-Pt bonding in uranium-based heterometalli...
We propose to investigate the magnetic excitation spectra of tetravalent uranium ions in two isostructural, one-dimesional chains made up by aligned UM2 units, with M = Pt and... -
Determination of orbital ordering in ZnV2O4 via the Magnetic Excitation Spectrum
ZnV2O4 possesses coupled spins, lattice and orbital degrees of freedom. A number of models of orbital ordering have been proposed for the tetragonal phase, these are real... -
