IN-SITU NEUTRON DIFFRACTION STUDIES OF METAL-HYDRIDE HYDROGEN STORAGE MATERIALS
Recently [RB 900007], we have demonstrated that it is possible to determine the detailed site-by-site behaviour of hydrogen during in-situ absorption and desorption in metal... -
Multiscale studies of crystallisation in synthetic polymers
We will exploit the unique capability of NIMROD to bring new understanding to the way in which long chain polymers crystallise. There are three key length scales: the first... -
The role of spin fluctuations, disorder and non-colinearity in the INVAR effect
The origin of the Invar effect, whereby certain ferromagnetic alloys exhibit near zero thermal expansion around room temperature is still not properly understood. Although the... -
Artificial spin triplet superconductors
There is currently tremendous interest in unconventional superconductors where p-wave, d-wave or f-wave angular momentum states exist. The existence of p or f-wave odd symmetry... -
Spin dynamics and magnetic ordering in the p-orbital molecular solids CsO2 an...
A magnetic response of the alkali-metal superoxides comes from the p-orbital S = 1/2 spins of anionic O2- molecules. As the O2- molecules are highly reorientable and the... -
The Orientation and Conformation of an Enantiomeric Pair of 310 Helical Pepti...
We wish to investigate the interactions between peptide mimics of peptaibols, a highly active class of natural antimicrobial peptide, and membranes. In particular we are... -
In-situ reflectometry studies of hydrogen cycling in Mg/Ti multilayers
We ask for 3 days of beam time on CRISP to study the absorption and desorption of hydrogen and deuterium in two Mg/Ti multilayer samples. Our specific objective is to understand... -

Structural changes in LiMO2 anode materials
It was thought that oxides could not intercalate Li below 1.5V vs Li+/Li. We recently studied layered LiVO2, which intercalates Li at around 0.25V to form Li2VO2, making it an... -
muSR investigation of a possible spin-liquid state in 1T-TaS2
1T-TaS2 is a layered material with many intriguing properties that are after four decades still sparking controversial discussions. Due to a charge gap, it has been long... -
Investigating the graphitisation behaviour of polycrystalline diamond at high...
Polycrystalline diamond is a man-made diamond material used for rock drilling and machining operations. Its vastly superior hardness to any other material allows it to cut... -
Hydrogen Release Systems: MX2.(NH3)n (M=Mg, X=Cl) with LiH and MgH2
The applicants seek 3 days of beam time on POLARIS to study hydrogen release systems comprising M(NH3)6X2 (M=Mg, X=Cl) coupled with LiH and MgH. Mg(NH3)6Cl2 is an important... -
The Magnetic Structure of LaCoxMn1-xO3 (x = 0.75)
It is the aim of the current proposal to examine in detail the magnetic structure of LaCo0.75Mn0.25O3 at low temperature, which should provide insight into the nature of the... -
Multiscale studies of crystallisation in stereoregular polypropylenes
We will exploit the unique capability of NIMROD to bring new understanding to the way in which long chain polymers, specifically stereoregulqr polypropylenes, crystallise. There... -
In-situ study of structure-property relationships on proton conducting perovs...
Significant research has been given towards synthesis and characterisation of electrolyte materials with high proton conductivity for intermediate temperature range (200-600°C)... -
Temperature dependence of low cycle fatigue behavior in wrought magnesium all...
Magnesium alloys always exhibit a high directional anisotropy owing to their hexagonal crystal structure, which limits the modes available for plastic deformation and give rise... -
Simultaneous INS and Raman spectra of centropolyindanes.
The family of centropolyindanes are created by edge-wise fusing of the cyclopentane ring of several indane units (D. Kuck, Chemical Reviews 2006, 106, 4885-4925).... -
IN-SITU INELASTIC NEUTRON SPECTGROSCOPY STUDIES OF METAL-HYDRIDE HYDROGEN STO...
Hydrogen storage is considered to be one of the principal technological barriers in the transition towards a hydrogen-based economy. In this proposal, we plan to look at the key... -
In-situ study of the dynamics of hydrogen diffusion in metal-hydride hydrogen...
Hydrogen storage is one of the most important technological issues to be resolved in the move towards a future sustainable hydrogen-based economy. We would like to gain further... -
Understanding the effect of compaction forming on the structure and performan...
A vast amount of work has been conducted on understanding metal organic frameworks (MOFs) in their powder form. However, for use in industrial processes, powders will need to be...
