Competition between C-H---O hydrogen bonds and C=O----Br halogen bonds
Our main objective in this proposal is to study the competition between halogen and hydrogen bonding as a function of temperature in the complex (CH3)2C=O--- Br2. The results of... -
In-situ High Temperature Studies of BiFeO3 in a Stabilising Oxygen Atmosphere
The drive to find novel materials for applications such as data storage has led to a resurgence in research into multiferroic materials. Bismuth ferrite is the most widely... -
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... -
Structural Studies of PbZr1-xTixO3: completing the puzzle in the tetragonal a...
We request 6 days of HRPD time in order to study the structures on the tetragonal side of the lead zirconate-titanate (PZT) phase diagram, a region that has so far been rather... -
Neutron Diffraction Study of a Spin-1/2 Pyrochlore Lu2Mo2O5N2
Ammonolysis of R2Mo2O7 pyrochlores gives R2Mo2O5N2 containing S = ½ Mo5+. They are excellent candidate materials for investigation of quantum spin liquid phenomena and we have... -
Interlayer and Interparticle Water in Clays
Clay barriers are routinely used in nuclear waste repositories to isolate radionuclides from the biosphere. Such barriers have to be carefully designed to remain effective for... -
Impact of Jahn-Teller Distortions in Sr0.5Pr0.5MnO3
We propose to use the HRPD to establish the sequence of structures, and the nature of the transitions between these, in two complex manganites Sr0.5Pr0.5MnO3 and... -
Study of gas absorption in MCM41.
We have studied the absorption of nitrogen gas in MCM41 on NIMROD at a pressure of 1 bar and at temperatures to 87K (A K Soper and D T Bowron, Chem. Phys. Lett., DOI:... -
Uptake of Molecular Hydrogen by High-performance Carbon Nanostructures (IRIS)
High sorption capacities and enhanced interaction strengths are the two most fundamental prerequisites for the deployment of carbon-based materials as hydrogen-storage media. In... -
Magnetic structure of layered oxide chalcogenides: Ba2CoO2Cu2Te2 and Sr2CoO3CuSe
This is an experiment to measure the crystal structures and the thermal evolution of the magnetic structures of two new layered oxide chalcogenides. In Ba2CoO2Cu2Te2 we will... -

Investigation of antiferromagnetic long-range interactions in Co-based Heusle...
Ni-Mn based Heusler alloys with composition related to the stoichiometry Ni2MnX, with X belonging to the IIIA-VA chemical species, are widely considered as a class of... -
Investigation of Ho ordering and its role in magnetization compensation in ga...
The garnet system Ho3Fe5O12 (HIG), which is ferrimagnet below 567 K, shows magnetization compensation phenomenon at 138 K (Tcomp) and another magnetic transition around 55 K... -
Hydrogen-bond dynamics of water in C-S-H, the binding phase of Portland cement
During the setting process of Portland cement, different mineral hydrates nucleate and grow, of which calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) is the most important binding phase. It is... -
Thermal expansion of kyanite, andalusite and sillimanite
Al2SiO5 forms three naturally-occurring polymorphs, kyanite, andalusite and sillimanite. These minerals are produced by varying degrees of metamorphism of sedimentary rocks, the... -
Determining the Crystal and Magnetic Structures of [Li(oxalate)]2[Co5(OH)8]
Dense corrdination frameworks that contain inorganic centres connected into extended lattices by polyatomic anions often adopt highly anisotropic structures. Thus they often... -
Understanding the formation of diamonds: Calibrating the coesite solid-inclus...
Diamonds provide our only direct samples of the very deep Earth and understanding their origin is consequently of great interest to Earth Scientists. The origin of diamonds can... -
The Dynamics of Molecular Hydrogen in Synthetic Clays
In this proposal we aim to study the low temperature uptake and dynamics of hydrogen in the interlayer region of partially hydrated pillared clays. There are linked dual... -
Hydrogen Uptake by Pillared Graphite Oxides
High sorption capacities and enhanced interaction strengths are the two most fundamental prerequisites for the deployment of carbon-based materials as hydrogen-storage media. In...
