NaxCoO2 has an exceptional combination of thermoelectric properties, including low thermal conductivity, and it is currently under consideration for use in power recovery and as...

Pyrazine-I is stable < 302 K, phase II exists from 302-310 K, and phase III from 310-324 K. The known phase-I forms an ordered structure. It is thought that structures of...

The proposal develops recent observations on spin-lattice coupling in incommensurate materials (objective - measure influence of applied field on evolution of structural...

This is a new programme of work and a collaboration between CCLRC, Oxford, Unilever and Manchester. It is concerned with polymer aided deposition to solid substrates, using...

Due to the naturally low viscosity of liquid CO2 (0.1-1.0 cP pressure/temperature dependent) the CO2 is prone to ¿fingering¿, limiting the efficiency of CO2-EOR [1]. In order to...

The aim of the present beam-time request is to perform a direct measurement of the total muonium emission rate from silica aeeogel to vacuum including the region very close to...

Palladium is able to dissociative absorb large quantities of hydrogen, reversibly. However, the formation and relative proportion of different phases of palladium hydride, and...

We have recently performed high field ALC measurements on the polycrystalline Metal Tris(Hydroxy-quinolate), MQ3, series in order to further investigate the intrinsic electron...

We want to investigate and Rietveld-refine the crystal structures of a number of lithium titanates and niobates of interest as battery anode materials. Some of these phases have...

Preliminary investigations have shown that Sr1.8Na0.2MgSi2O7-d, belonging to the melilite family of oxide, is a potential new oxide ion conductor. The aim of this experiment is...

It is well known that water is the medium in which the overwhelming majority of biological processes take place. In cell membranes water molecules are thought to be essential to...

Over the last two decades, many polymers have been tested to increase CO2 viscosity for applications in enhanced oil recovery using CO2 (CO2-EOR). Unfortunately, conventional...

Carbon nanotubes are of great interest due to their unique properties, such as their high aspect ratio and electrical conductivity. Many possible applications of CNTs require...

Many room temperature ionic liquids (salts with melting points near room temperature that hereafter will be referred to as ionic liquids) are ¿green solvents¿ for chemical...

The analysis of Bragg edge in pulsed neutron transmission spectra is finding increasing use in combination with advances in energy selective imaging applications, and it is...

ZnCr2Se4 is a magnetically frustrated spinel compound with an incommensurate ground state. At low temperatures it displays a spin spiral structure propagating along the (100)...

Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs) are emerging as low-cost and environment-friendly solvents for industrial process. DESs are formed by the association of a hydrogen bond-capable...

Radio-frequency muon spin resonance is an exceptional technique for studying free radicals, but it has not been applied to study radicals in the gas phase. In a previous...

We aim to determine the magnetic excitation spectrum in single-crystals of the parent LaFeAsO compound and thereby address some basic issues concerning the nature of the...

We propose muSR studies on superfluid density in the overdoped La2-xSrxCuO4 (LSCO). The Hayden group (Bristol) has been growing high-quality LSCO single crystals, and performed...
