Study on the dynamics of hydride ion conduction in new oxyhydrides
Hydride ion conductors are the new frontier materials in the research field of solid-state ionics. Indeed, hydride ion conduction is particularly attractive for electrochemical... -
Phase Transitions and Orbital Ordering in SrRu1-xCuxO3.
This proposal seeks to establish the importance of orbital ordering on the stability of the tetragonal phase in Cu doped SrRiuO3. Orbital ordering is believed to be a... -
Microscopic Dynamics of Confined Water in Hexagonal Phase of REPO4 (RE=Y, La)
Confined water, a common natural phenomenon, shows very different structural, dynamical and phase behaviour vis-à-vis bulk, and it is depended on the host-water interactions.... -
The local environment and nuclear dynamics of hydrogen in corannulene
Corannulene, C20H10 is synthetic molecule sharing many similarities with fullerene, like charge transfer capabilities, a bended shape and the possibility to be intercalated by... -
QENS studies of Na-ion battery materials
LixCoO2 is used extensively in portable batteries in laptops and mobile phones, but the scarcity of Li means that alternative materials are required. Structurally related... -
Quasielastic Neutron scattering Study of Water dynamics in Hydrated Cellulose...
The separation membrane is a key component in Polymer electrolyte fuel cells. It must be both an ionic conductor and an electronic insulator. Cellulose nanofibrill membranes... -

Dynamic transition of Poly(ethylene glycol) with or without the solvation water
Water is the source of life, but the effects of hydration water on the dynamics and function of biological and bio-compatible macromolecules are still full of debates. Chen et... -
Local structure of ortho-terphenyl glass
Ortho-terphenyl is a paradigmatic example of a molecular glass-former; yet the structure of its glass has never been fully described. We have recently demonstrated that, by... -
Towards Active Site Orientation Kinetics in Solution with Quasielastic Neutro...
Catalysts are used in virtually all industrial chemical transformations to control reaction pathways by directing the environment around the reactant. Many structural... -
A QENS Study of Benzyl Phenyl Ether, a Lignin Model Compound, on a Hydrodeoxy...
Bio-oil is an alternative and renewable energy from biomass, however, its high content of oxygenates result in low heating values and chemical/thermal instability. One effective... -
Separation of factors contributing to the overall diffusion behaviour of olef...
This proposal examines the diffusion behaviour of olefin hydrocarbons adsorbed in microporous zeolite catalysts. It builds on a previous study which has shown that simulated... -
A QENS Study of Guaiacol, a Lignin Model Compound, on a Hydrodeoxygenation Ca...
Bio-oil can be obtained from the pyrolysis of biomass and maintains a closed carbon cycle with no net increase in atmospheric CO2 level, making the environment cleaner. However,... -
Hydride-ion mobility analysis of SrVO2H using quasielastic neutron scattering
The proposed experiment at ISIS aims at the characterization of the diffusional motion of the hydride-ions in SrVO2H, which possesses the highest H (hydride) content among... -
Investigation of segmental dynamics in polymer nanocomposite glasses with gra...
Polymer nanocomposites are formed by embedding polymer grafted nanoparticles in homopolymer host matrix. Polymers form glasses when cooled through their glass transition... -
Investigating the diffusion of liquids within the MFI zeolite ZSM-5
The properties of liquids confined in zeolites will be studied by quasi-elastic neutron scattering. Alongside the data previously acquired using quasi-elastic neutron scattering... -
Thermal equations of state for kyanite, andalusite and sillimanite
The three Al-silicate polymorphs, kyanite, andalusite and sillimanite, are well-known geological markers used to determine the extent of P- and T-induced metamorphism... -
Diffusion studies using methane as a probe molecule to investigate the methan...
Methanol-to-Hydrocarbons (MTH) is an important industrial reaction. It is thought to work through a 'hydrocarbon pool' mechanism where the hydrocarbons retained within the... -
Inelastic neutron scatteing studies of KTCNQ
TCNQ salts have also seen extensive research within magnetic systems where there have been a large number of metal-organic compounds synthesised that show interesting... -
Molecular weight dependence of 2D-confined dynamics in glass-forming systems
We seek to explore the dynamics of glass forming systems upon extreme 2D-confinement. These experiments are motivated by preliminary experiments on oligomers and macromolecules...
