Unraveling the structural evolution and reactivity of white rust, a key inter...
White rust (WR) is a highly reactive material that acts as a precursor in many chemical processes. It is produced during iron corrosion and has been implicated as a key reactive... -
A High Pressure Study of Para-Xylene
This proposal will explore the effect of elevated pressure on para-xylene. It is a raw material in the large scale synthesis of various polymers, including polyethylene... -
Controlling Biosurfactant self assembly in solution
Biosurfactants are becoming more commonplace in pharmaceuticals, vaccines and other forms of medicines. With the biobased economy growing substantially and pressure to reduce... -
The high pressure structure of deuterium
Of all the stable elements hydrogen(deuterium) is the least well studied from a structural point of view. Not one of its crystal structures has been fully charecterised. This... -
Structural and magnetic orders in Ga-V oxide spinels
In certain materials, notably with the spinel structure, orbital ordering can result in the formation of a ground state with electrons delocalising between small numbers of... -
Spin excitations in the non-magnetic ground state of In2Ru2O7
Correlated transition-metal oxides with orbital degeneracy such as ruthenates with d4 (S = 1) configuration offer a plethora of unconventional electronic states. Combined with... -
Thermodynamic Control of Isotopic Polymorphism
Co-crystals of 4-methylpyridine and pentachlorophenol (MP-PCP) exhibit the very unusual property of isotopic polymorphism, formation of different phases by samples differing... -
The icy-moon analogue of MgSiO3-perovskite: MgSO4.9H2O a high-pressure study
Mg-sulfate 11-hydrate (meridianiite) is decomposed by pressure to form Mg-sulfate 9-hydrate + ice, a process that will occur in the mantles of large icy planetary bodies and... -
Caffeine and the issue of hydrophobic hydration
Caffeine is a prototypical example of a planar, heteroatomic bicyclic, aromatic ring compound that, although somewhat polar, exhibits limited aqueous solubility and is... -

Magnetic order in the quantum critical phase of Sr3Ru2O7
Many novel electronic ground states form in close proximity to quantum critical points (QCPs), that is, the point where a continuous phase transition occurs at zero temperature.... -
Neutron Diffraction Studies on CaCrFe3As3 compound
We propose to obtain 3 days of beam time on SXD equipped with its new top-loading CCR to analyze CaCrFe3As3 single crystals at different temperatures 10 K, 100 K and 300 K (the... -
Diffraction of potassium-intercalated graphitic nanofibres with hydrogen
Nanostructured carbons are promising precursors for a high-capacity reversible hydrogen storage material with fast kinetics, but the interaction of H2 with pure graphite is too... -
Spin reorientation transition in Ba2CrO2Cr2As2 - resubmission
This is an experiment to probe the magnetic ordering in Ba2CrO2Cr2As2 and compare the behaviour with the Sr analogue which shows a complex spin reorientation transition around... -
Surveying Hebel-Slichter peaks in conventional-ish superconductors
The presence of a Hebel-Slichter peak in NMR or µSR measurements just below the critical temperature of superconductors is taken to be strong evidence for conventional behaviour... -

Compressibility and Tilting of Polyhedra within Sr2NiMoO6 at High Pressure
Ordered double perovskites (also known as elpasolites) have the general formula A2BBO6 where A is generally a rare earth metal or alkaline earth metal and where B and B are... -
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...
