Soft hydrogen bonding: how does methanol dock onto olefins and aromatic compo...
Hydrogen bonding (HB) is an ubiquitous interaction. Weak HB (WHB) has long been acknowledged to exist such as: O-H ...... pi cloud, where either the aromatic electron cloud or... -
Micro-, Meso-, Macro- Structure and Dynamics of Biocompatible Dental Glass Io...
Glass Ionomer Cements (GICs) have found numerous applications as bone fillers, replacements and adhesives, particularly in dentistry due to their tooth like appearance and... -
Probing the structure of liquids above a metal-oxide interface
Simulations have demonstrated that mimicking the metal-oxide interface in porous media produces significant variations in the solvents structure over the metal and the oxide for... -
Comparing peptide folding states in non-aqueous and aqueous solutions
How proteins fold from their linear sequence into their functional structures is still not understood and the misfolding of proteins is linked to a variety of diseases - such as... -
Structure of myoglobin-sugar-water systems
This proposal is a continuation of our previous experiment on NIMROD (Rb 1520094), where we studied aqueous solutions of trehalose (33 wt% trehalose) as well as myoglobin in the... -
Local ordering of DMF solvents around graphitic carbon nitride nanoparticles.
When materials are dissolved in solvents the solvent can become ordered around the solute, usually considered to be an ion that is a single atomic ion or a molecular ion. For... -
Liquid Structure of Amino Acid Ionic Liquids Based on a Spectator Cation
Ionic liquids based on biocompatible ions such as amino acids are of significant interest since they offer access to a lower-cost and lower-toxicity family of green solvents for... -
Impurity substitution effect on magnetic orderings in frustrated triangular l...
We propose to perform neutron powder diffraction experiments on the frustrated triangular lattice anitferromagnet AgFe1-xAlxO2 on WISH. Recently, we have studied magnetic... -
Probing possible p-wave superconductivity in Bi/Ni bilayers
Superconductivity and ferromagnetism are perhaps the best examples of how quantum mechanics can be employed to explain macroscopic phenomena. The two states, both containing... -
Structure of a clathrate hydrate inhibitor in water
Gas hydrates (crystalline inclusion compounds of water and small hydrocarbons) present a very real challenge to the petrochemical industry. In uninhibited systems gas hydrates... -
Determination of the hydrogen adsorption sites for Mg and Zn formates
In the framework of the FIRENZE HYDROLAB research project(http://www.iccom.cnr.it/hydrolab/), a number of polymeric metal formates has been synthesized,with interesting... -
Local structure in defect fluorite disordered Er2Zr2O7 and pyrochlore ordered...
Cubic A2B2O7 oxides with A standing for a rare-earth element and B for a transition or main block metal have been systematically studied for their frequently exotic... -
The solvation of ammonia borane by diglyme
Ammonia borane (AB) is arguably the most promising hydrogen storage material for use in clean, green fuel applications. Simple heating of AB produces hydrogen that can be used... -
The structure of polar aprotic solvents in cylindrical nanopores
The aim of this experiment is to understand the structure of two widely used polar organic solvents, N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF) and N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), in cylindrical... -
Determination of the bondlength of the surface hydride in PdH
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... -
Refining compositions for bio-active phosphate glasses
We wish to investigate the structural changes which arise when B2O3 is added to a bioactive phosphate glass. We are particularly interested to study the phosphate environment... -

Ageing of Laponite-water solutions
We require beam time on NIMROD in order to complete and continue a previous experiment (RB1010046) on Laponite - water suspensions. We have succesfully performed the experiment... -
Total scattering studies of 7Li bearing polytriazine imide (PTI) carbon nitri...
In this proposal total scattering measurements will be performed on a low dimensional carbon nitride (PTI) material intercalated with lithium and chlorine. These low dimensional... -
Temperature-Dependent Structural Changes in Liquid Benzene
The non-covalent interactions between aromatic rings are of fundamental importance in large number biological and chemical processes. The local structure of aromatic liquids is...
