Neutron diffraction study of magnetic structure of PrFe2Al8
The crystal structure of PrFe2Al8 consists of a network of Al which forms quasi cage-like structure where the Pr and the Fe form chains of atoms along the c-axis. We propose... -
New family of noncentrosymmetric (α-Mn) High-Entropy Alloy Superconductors
High-entropy alloys (HEAs) exhibiting superconductivity are of great research interest, as it displays characteristics of both crystalline and amorphous superconductors. In this... -
Structural Properties of Hydrogenated Ca-Intercalated Graphite Compounds
The recent discovery of superconductivity in Ca-intercalated graphite (C6Ca) has refocused considerable interest onto graphite intercalated compounds (GICs). We would like to... -
Quantifying the role of lattice dynamics in the negative gas adsorption behav...
Flexible metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) such as Zn(C3H3N2) (ZIF-4) and Cu2(BBCDC) (DUT-49) show intriguing structural phase transitions when triggered by external stimuli such... -
The effect of phospholipid on the adsorption of HSA at a solid surface
As part of a project concerning the fate of nanoparticles in the body we have been studying the kinetic and competitive (or cooperative) aspects of protein adsorption. HSA is... -
Structure of amorphous Porous Aromatic Framework 1
Materials that are porous at the atomic scale have proven to be important for many applications, including gas capture and catalysis. Recently it has become possible to make... -
Structural characterisation of metal phosphates and fluorophosphates
This proposal requests neutron diffraction beamtime to study a series of novel metal fluorophosphates and acid pyrophosphates with potential as ionic conductors.... -
Dynamics of Disorder in Relaxor-like Ferroelectric AB(HCO2)3 Frameworks
Relaxor ferroelectics are of significant interest for use as piezoelectric actuators in sensing applications and for high precision mechanical stages. Relaxors are traditionally... -
Quasi-elastic neutron scattering study of reconstituted plant wax films and t...
A number of studies have determined that non-ionic surfactants are capable of altering diffusion rates and transportation of both water and active ingredients thorough the waxy... -
Metal and Core Phase composition of Two Renaissance bronzes.
We propose to determine the bronze composition of the different parts of two Renaissance Bronzes. These bronzes are of mutiple parts which have been joined together. Added by... -
Penetration and reaction of hydroxyl radical into organic films at the air-wa...
The Earth¿s climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and optical properties, important climatic effects.... -
Molecular As-rich sulphur glasses
AsxS1-x binaries belong to the most studied chalcogenide glassy systems. The glass-forming region in the system was found to be rather limited, 0.05 < x < 0.43, caused by... -
The effect of porosity on sodium diffusion in hard carbons for Na ion batteri...
Here we propose to use muon spectroscopy to study the diffusion of sodium in hard carbon anode materials of various porosity for sodium ion batteries. Hard carbon is the most... -
