The family of crystals with formula ABX4 represent a very interesting class of ferroelectrics that are extremely two-dimensional. Fluorides have been extensively researched but...

Flexible functional materials are important candidates of current research, because of their potential applications in plastic electronics. Organic ferroelectrics are one of...

Clay barriers are routinely used in nuclear waste repositories to isolate radionuclides from the biosphere. Such barriers have to be carefully designed to remain effective for...

Water displays a highly complex phase diagram that is key to a range of critical processes, from the evolution of icy moons to that of the Earth's hydrosphere and even of life...

This proposal requests the allocation of six days beamtime on PEARL to collect neutron powder diffraction data suitable for the structure solution of phases II and III of...

The aim of this proposal is to study the condensation transitions of polar gas molecules in nanoporous flexible materials by means of wide Q-range neutron diffraction. An...

Freezing of fluids confined at the nanoscale is of great importance for the understanding of their behaviour due to the confinement effects arising from the finite pore size and...

Organic ferroelectrics are in the focus of current research because their potential applications as a material to address global challenges. These lightweight, flexible and...

TOF-Neutron Diffraction experiments conducted on significant archaeological findings from the pre-roman Ligurian settlement of Guardamonte (Monte Vallassa) have shown unusual...

Phenol-water and phenol-ammonia clusters are useful model systems for understanding the types of proton-transfer interactions that occur during photosynthesis in plants and...

Ammonia has been proposed as a high density chemical energy-storage media, which can be safely and reversible stored within low cost saline halides. Here we propose to extend...

Light metal amides and imides are a new class of highly active ammonia decomposition catalysts. Indeed, composites of lithium imide and transition metal nitrides are likely to...

The objective of the proposed experiment is to develop an understanding of the Li/Ni/Mn ordering in a commercially relevant lithium ion battery positive electrode,...

Very rapid quenching of liquids to form a glass, from which crystalline phases are subsequently obtained by devitrification, is a powerful technique for obtaining novel...

This proposal seeks to study three systems associated with heat-storage applications using in situ neutron powder diffraction. The first experiment will focus on a sample of...

In search for new materials with exotic electronic states, one often turns to strongly correlated materials. Ruthenium oxides attract attention as they exhibit intriguing...

Perovskite manganates with the general formula L1-xAxMnO3 (e.g. L=La, Pr , Nd and A=Ca and Sr) have attracted significant interest as a result of their unusual transport and...

The Li?N?H hydrogen storage system is one of the most promising candidates for hydrogen storage in vehicular applications and the addition of halide ions significantly increases...
