Electron-driven solvent segregation in Li-NH3-MeNH2
We request 4 days Rapid Access on MAPS to finalise the investigations in our recent experiment, RB1710214. This experiment on phase-separated metal-amine liquids proved to be... -
The Storage of Ammonia in Framework Structures: Kinetic Investigation of Ammo...
We request 4 days on VESUVIO to study atomic momentum distributions in copper-exchanged Linde Type A (LTA) and Sodalite (SOD) zeolite frameworks, into which ammonia has been... -
The structure of water in halloysite nanotubes
Water is important in many scientific and technological areas, yet our understanding of this remarkable liquid remains very incomplete. In may cases, it is the properties of... -
The structure of metal-ammonia Ogg glasses
In this application we will conduct the first detailed study of the structure of glassy metal-ammonia systems ? so-called Ogg glasses, named after the person who first proposed... -
Prediction of Local Properties of Metal Hydrides using Neutron Compton Scatte...
We request time on VESUVIO to measure group-I metal hydrides NaH, KH, RbH, and CsH. These metal hydrides will be measured to fit the proton and metal recoil peaks extracted from... -
Solvation structures of cyclic compounds: the crown ethers
Crown ethers are cyclic molecules formed by joining ether groups into a ring. These compounds have many interesting solution properties, including their ability to bind strongly... -
Alkali metal anions in solution Ion pairing and aggregation as a survival s...
Alkali metals are soluble in organic media when a macrocyclic complexing agent is used in order to drive the dissolution process by formation of complexed metal cations and... -
Li(MeNH2)4: Poor Metal, Worse Metal, and Magnet
We request 2 days on GEM to determine the structure of crystalline Li(MeNH2)4: we will be preparing the fully deuterated analogue. Our investigations into the magnetic state of... -
Combined Neutron Resonance Spectroscopy and Deep Inelastic Neutron Scattering...
We request 5 days on VESUVIO in order to examine the sensitivity of 87Sr (n,) resonances and DINS to the metal-insulator and liquid-solid transitions in the Sr-NH3... -

Effect of Q on the INS spectrum of coordinated small molecules in frameworks:...
We request 3 days on MARI to investigate the effect of Q on the previously determined partial phonon density of states of a zeolite framework with a low concentration of... -
QENS Investigation of Solid Ammonia
A recent beautifully resolved INS spectrum of solid ammonia shows distinct differences in phonon states compared to initial calculation. This suggests that strong... -
Configurational and displacive disorder in the cubic NTE material Cd(CN)2
Cubic cadmium(II) cyanide shows the most pronounced isotropic NTE effect known, with behaviour more than twice as extreme as that of better known materials such as ZrW2O8. This... -

In this application we will conduct the first detailed study of the structure of glassy metal-ammonia systems ? so-called Ogg glasses, named after the person who first proposed... -
Solvent Segregation in Phase-Separated Li-NH3-MeNH2
We request 2 days on MAPS (or 3 days on MARI) to determine the extent of solvent segregation in a liquid-liquid phase-separated metal-amine: The Li-NH3-MeNH2 system. Recently we... -
The Existence of Electronic Glasses, Na-ND3 and NaCa-ND3.
In this application we request 2 days of rapid access time on SANDALS or NIMROD to demonstrate the existence of amorphous metal-amine solutions, the Ogg glasses.Results from... -
Equation of state and phase transitions of the cubic NTE material Cd(CN)2
Despite being the material showing the largest isotropic NTE, Cd(CN)2 is remarkably little studied, particularly compared to isostructural Zn(CN)2 and the canonical NTE material... -
Electron Correlation in Expanded Metal Amines: Overcoming Sample Environment ...
We have recently completed 4 days on EMU investigating the evolution of local magnetic states in the expanded metal, lithium amine systems. Our results are promising. However,... -
Understanding the Pressure Response in Amines: Weak hydrogen-bonding vs Non-b...
Methylamines are an ideal chemical system to study in order to understand the effects of steric bulk and competing non-bonding interactions on hydrogen bonding at the networks... -
Li-Ammonia Solutions/Solid - The State of the Proton as Probed By Deep Inelas...
Upon the addition of Li to anhydrous ammonia, the famous Li-Ammonia solutions form through an intriguing metal-insulator transition. These have been studied intensely for many...
