Heterogeneous catalysis, where the reagents are either contained in a liquid medium, or are liquids in their own right, plays a significant part of the chemical industry. These...

We propose to use neutron total scattering to characterise isocyanate (NCO-) orientations within the orientationally-disordered phase of AgNCO. The arrangement of NCO- ions in...

There is a significant interest in the electronic and magnetic properties of the layered iridates owing to the variety of potential exotic phases of matter they exhibit. In...

Heterogeneous catalysis, where the reagents are either contained in a liquid medium, or are liquids in their own right, plays a significant part of the chemical industry. These...

Supported palladium particles are used as catalysts in many processes. In the course of investigation of Pd-based catalysts used for the selective hydrogenation of nitro-arenes...

In the area of metal-organic porous materials, supramolecular metal-organic frameworks (SMOFs) constitute a blooming alternative. Their examples are still relatively scarce when...

Small-sized metal nanoparticles (NPs) are of long standing interest to both magnetism and heterogeneous catalysis. Muon studies of Au NPs encapsulated in 'SBA-15' silica are...

This proposal concerns the metal-organic framework (MOF), cobalt imidazolate. Imidazole (im) is a small, flat organic molecule that forms slightly bent metal-im-metal linkages,...

Hydrogen abstraction reactions are key steps in free radical mechanisms that dominate the combustion and atmospheric chemistry of the alkane hydrocarbons and, as such, merit...

Metal-organic frameworks represent one of the most studied options to store hydrogen for clean-energy applications. Nuclear quantum effects, and in particular zero-point...

Hydrogen storage in metal hydrides has recently been studied as a possible way to store energy. One of the possible options is magnesium, which is abundant and cheap and it has...

Because of the potential applications of multiferroicity, the discovery of a new multiferroic (MF) material is invariably met with great enthusiasm in the condensed matter...

Zeolites are perhaps the most successful microporous materials used for catalysis and separation processes in refineries and chemical industries[1-3]. This is due to the...

In collaboration with Sasol Technology UK Ltd, the research team have previously used INS to investigate the surface chemistry of synthesis gas (CO + H2) over a series of...

This proposal aims to use small angle neutron scattering for characterization of hydrogen adsorption (including the provision of a quantitative value for the absolute hydrogen...

Metal-organic framework materials are a topical family of nanoporous solids that have potential applications in molecular storage, separation and catalysis. Some of these...

In the area of metal-organic porous materials, supramolecular metal-organic frameworks (SMOFs) constitute a blooming alternative. Their examples are still scarce when compared...

Electroceuticals is the attempt to “…speak the electrical language of the nerves to achieve higher treatment effect”. Thus, the search is on to develop devices to enhance...

Magnetic HEA thin films could open up the possibility to develop spintronic devices for use in hostile environments e.g. for high temperature applications. Previous studies have...

The aim of the experiment is to improve understanding of the onset of the cavitation process in desorption, in order to, ultimately, better understand adsorbate behaviour and...
