Diffuse scattering study of single crystal PrBa2Cu3O7-x
Standard diffraction studies of PrBCO and YBCO show that these two compounds are isostructical. However, if any Pr/Ba disorder is present in PrBCO, the diffuse scattering signal... -
Practical viscosifiers for supercritical CO2
This proposal explores headgroup-free, fluorocarbon-hydrocarbon hybrid compounds able toform viscous elongated aggregates in supercritical CO2 with the aim of improving... -
Characterisation of Protons in Pyrochlore Electrocatalysts
This proposal is about understanding the atomic-scale structure of complex oxides that contain water or protons and that are used as electrocatalyts for water splitting. Such... -
Powder diffraction studies under high deuterium pressure
The aims of the experiment are (1) to obtain structural data for the model hydrogen storage intermetallic LaNi5 under a deuterium pressure of 3000 bar at cryogenic temperatures,... -
Surface layers in organosols
This research project addresses an overlooked, but fundamental issue of colloid science: surfactant adsorption dynamics at nanoparticle-organosolvent interfaces. Adsorption of...
