Search for a structural distortion in the AF pyrochlore magnet Gd2Ti2O7
Previous neutron studies of powdered Gd2Ti2O7 (GTO) have shown that despite it relative simplicity as an s-state Heisenberg antiferromagnet, the magnetic structure is a fairly... -
Structural investigations of low-temperature "trapped solutions" of C60 fulle...
We propose a series of neutron scattering measurement to determine the water structure in amorphous H2O/C60 fullerene vapour deposits. We believe that these samples, prepared by... -
Structure of Colloidal Titania Particles in Water vs Organic Solvent
Dye sensitised solar cells, based around colloids of the wide bandgap semiconductor TiO2 with bound dyes have potential to provide a cheap,sustainable source of solar energy... -
Dye...TiO2 interfacial structure of working electrodes in dye-sensitized sola...
The transparent and low-cost nature of dye-sensitised solar cells (DSCs) affords them niche prospects for electricity-generating windows in buildings for energy-sustainable... -
A high pressure structural study of the charge transfer complexes trimethylam...
We propose a high-pressure powder neutron diffraction study of the archetypal donor-acceptor complexes (CD3)3N...I2 and (CD3)3N...ICl . These are the simplest structurally... -
Dynamics Of New Photovoltaic Hybrid Perovskite Stabilized in Cubic Symmetry
Hybrid perovskites, composed of an organic cation, inside a post transition metal halide framework, have emerged since 2009 as simple, low cost solar cell materials, with power... -
Vibrational Neutron Spectroscopy Studies of Porous Metal-Organic Framework Ma...
The research of new porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is receiving considerable attention worldwide owing to their potential for gas adsorption, storage and separation. We... -
Investigation into the Effect of Crystallographic Orientation on the Observed...
Neutron capture analysis allows for the measurement of the mean kinetic energy of the nucleus prior to capture. This technique can give insight into motion of atoms as well as... -
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... -
Structures and magnetism of chemical and electrochemical deintercalates of la...
We propose to use POLARIS to perform two related experiments. Firstly we will investigate the structures and compositions of derivatives of some layered Mn/Cu oxysulfides which... -
Interaction of polypeptide with surfactant: SANS study of solution aggregation
This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding the solution aggregation of collagen based polypeptides and their interactions with model surfactants.... -
High resolution structures of the simple halogen bonded complexes.
We propose a high-resolution powder neutron diffraction study of the archetypal donor-acceptor complexes (CD3)3N...I2; (CD3)3N...ICl; C5D5N¿ICl; and C5D5N¿IBr. These are the... -
INS studies of conducting polymers: oligothiophenes and polythiophene
Polymeric solar cells are a promising alternative for producing clean and renewable energy due to the possibility of fabricating them onto large areas of lightweight, flexible... -
Tuning the proton behaviour of a short strong intermolecular hydrogen bond as...
We have created very short intermolecular hydrogen bonds in benzoic acid "dimers" by co-crystallisation of these into molecular complexes with the proton sponge...
