Searching for the missing phase of SrTiO3; commissioning a new cryogenic pres...
Generating pressure above 1GPa for neutron diffraction typically requires the use of a Paris-Edinburgh press. Whilst the presses operate very reliably at ambient temperature,... -
Neutron Diffraction Study of Deformation in Coarse-Grained Cast Alpha-Uranium
This experiment aims to obtain experimental data to validate crystal plasticity modelling of a metal with a complex, anisotropic, crystal structure. We propose to measure the... -
Hydrogen loading and unloading kinetics in thin Mg films
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... -
Verifying and improving self-consistent elasto-plastic models for two-phase c...
In this experiment, we aim to clarify how different deformation mechanisms are best incorporated in a so-called elasto-plastic self-consistent model. The model is developed to... -
Phase evolution in the transition from epsilon to gamma glycine
Glycine, the simplest naturally-occurring amino acid, exhibits unusually extensive phase diversity. Three polymorphs are known under ambient conditions. Each shows different... -
In-situ reflectometry studies of hydrogen cycling in Mg/Ti multilayers
We ask for 3 days of beam time on CRISP to study the absorption and desorption of hydrogen and deuterium in two Mg/Ti multilayer samples. Our specific objective is to understand... -
Commissioning of the Sputnik pressure cell at low temperatures
making it available to users in the future -
A High pressure investigation of the Binary carbonyls of group 7 M2(CO)10 M =...
The structures of two binary metal carbonyls containing a metal-metal bond Mn2(CO)10 and Re2(CO)10 will be studied as a function of pressure. Both these molecules undergo a... -
In-situ hydrogen decomposition studies of ammonia borane and the diammoniate ...
Ammonia borane (AB) is one of the most promising hydrogen storage materials. We have extensively studied the low temperature behaviour of this material This proposal asks for 3...
