Investigating the Dissolution Mechanism of Cellulose in Ionic Liquids
Cellulose is one of the most abundant renewable natural resources on Earth, and it has been estimated that in the order of 400,000 tonnes/year of paper and additional 100,000... -
Powder Diffraction Study of Ion Exchanged AV-7
The aim of this study is to elucidate the crystal structures of a series of microporous tin silicate materials after different degrees of ion exchange with strontium. The... -
Study of the protein denaturation in glassy matrices
The proposed experiment is addressed to use the MARI spectrometer to study the thermal denaturation process of the psychrophile enzyme alpha-amylase in presence of bioprotectant... -
A Single Crystal study of the Helical and Skyrmion Textures in a Chiral Magne...
Cu2OSeO3 belongs to a family of magnetic crystals that displays unique properties of a whirlpool like vortex of magnetic moments (skyrmions) in a small range of temperature and... -
Determining elemental phosphorus contents in bloomery iron standards as a fun...
The proposed measurements aim to determine the behaviour of the structural parameters of iron-phosphorus alloys as a function of P-content, in order to have a reliable... -
Li-ion diffusion in the solid electrolyte LLT
The high voltage and energy density has made lithium-ion batteries ubiquitous in portable electronics, such as iPods, laptops and mobile phones. At present, they are typically... -
Structural and Magnetic Characterizations of the New, High Pressure Synthesiz...
After an almost forty year lull in research on multiferroic materials, there has been a resurgence of interest in them. However, it is particularly challenging to synthesize a... -
Powder diffraction determination of the magnetic structure of Ba2LiOsO6
We aim to investigate the antiferromagnetic ground state of Ba2LiOsO6 using neutron powder diffraction, determining both the magnetic ordering propagation vector, and the... -
Tracking Temperature-Dependency of Setting Dynamics in Bioactive Glass Compos...
Demand for new medical & biomaterials with elevated longevities is accelerating through the ageing of the population. The historic implantation of foreign materials into the... -
High Resolution Powder Diffraction of Manganites to Determine Bond Lengths as...
Manganites show promise as magnetocaloric materials - for use in solid-state refrigeration - in terms of cost, durability and tunable thermal conductivity. By tuning the...
