Detailed Structural Characterisation of Functional Spinel Materials
We propose to use neutron scattering to examine the complex structures of some new mixed oxide materials that have applications in catalysis and for their magnetic properties.... -
In-situ Hydrogenation of Calcium Nitride
Nitrides of alkali and alkaline earth metals are an interesting set of materials specifically for their potential in reversible hydrogen storage. However, many fundamental... -
Apatite-type Oxides for Energy Applications: Local Structure and Structural P...
Apatites are a large group of chemically and structurally flexible functional materials with important applications as solid electrolytes. The majority of known apatite... -
Towards the development of carbonitrides as novel two-stage regenerable reage...
We are examining a number of cobalt-molybdenum carbonitrides as possible catalysts for reactions that produce nitrogen-containing organic molecules. There is good evidence that... -
In-situ neutron powder diffraction study of the synthesis of Half-Heusler the...
XNiSn (X = Ti, Zr, Hf) Half-Heusler materials are potential candidates for application in thermoelectric waste heat recovery. The aim of the experiment is to follow the... -
Mass-selective Neutron Spectroscopy of Molten FLiBe
We request time on VESUVIO to study the properties of FLiBe using mass-resolved neutron spectroscopy (MANSE). FLiBe is a mixture of BeF2 and LiF and its physical properties in... -
Local Structure in Neodymium Doped Ceria
Doped cerias are currently being used as oxide ion conducting electrolyte materials in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). The conduction mechanism in electrolytes is dependent on... -
In-situ thermoelectric measurements of copper chalcogenides
Thermoelectric devices are capable of converting thermal energy directly into electrical energy. The efficiency of a device is related to the characteristics of the materials of... -
Magnetic structure of the doped room temperature honeycomb magnet (SrCa)Ru2O6
We propose the investigation of the magnetic structure in the room temperature magnet SrRu2O6 and its doped variants. Crystallizing in the honeycomb structure, these systems are...
