Structural studies of the cycling and decomposition of Mg(NH3)6(BH4)2
Given its high hydrogen gravimetric density, ammonia may be utilised as a hydrogen carrier, and thus ammonia stores are an area of interest. It is known that Mg(BH4)2 takes up... -
Structural and Electronic Analysis of Li(NH3)4 and Li(ND3)4
We propose to investigate the detailed spectroscopy of the expanded metal systems 7Li(NH3)4 and 7Li(ND3)4 by inelastic neutron scattering. 7Li(NH3)4 shows multiple phase... -
Field-induced z=2 quantum criticality of a 1D quantum magnet
During recent years, the study of T=0 quantum phase transitions (QPT), the emergent scaling properties and their profound influence on physical properties at T>0 has... -
Experimental validation of solid hydrogen phases in porous materials via neut...
Metallic hydrogen has long been theorised to be a close-to-room temperature superconductor, but is only predicted to form at GPa pressures. Instead of using extremely high... -
The role of Disorder in Phase Transitions in some manganese Perovskites
The aim of this work is to understand the origin of the difference in the behaviour between the two doped manganites Sr0.65Pr0.35MnO3 and Sr0.70Ce0.30MnO3. The hypothesis we... -
Quasielastic Neutron Spectroscopy of Ammonium Borohydride
We ask for 7 days on IRIS to study the quasielastic scattering in ammonium borohydride (NH4BH4). Using enriched ND4 and BD4, we aim to separate out the difference rotational and... -
Rotational and translational dynamics of dihydrogen adsorbed in metal-organic...
The recently designed CPO-27-M, where M=Mg,Mn,Fe,Co,Ni, and Zn represent a family of metal-organic framework compounds with the highest density of coordinatively unstaurated... -
Hydrogen dynamics in clay nanotubes
We will study H2 dynamics in the nanotubular clay imogolite whose structure has an external diameter of ~2.5 nm and an inner diameter of <1 nm. The tube length of synthetic... -

Proton dynamics of graphenes of different hydrogen content
Graphene is defined as a: single layer of carbon atoms with each atom bound to three neighbours in a honeycomb structure. This suggests that in a macroscopic, manageable... -
BIOACTIVE EDIBLE OILS PROBED BY NEUTRON SPECTROSCOPY
Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) contains numerous phenolic components with well recognised health-beneficial properties, namely high antioxidant capacity. These characteristics... -
Multiferroic (Ferroelastic/Magnetic) Phase Transitions in KMnF3
KMnF3 perovskite undergoes 3 structural, and two magnetic phase transitions on cooling from 300 K to 2 K. Above 185 K the compound is in the aristotype structure, on cooling... -
Molecular and framework dynamics in CH3NH3PbCl3
We propose to use MARI to measure the molecular and framework dynamics in CH3NH3PbCl3 which has become of interest in the context of efficient photovoltaics. CH3NH3PbCl3 is... -
QENS studies of molecular hydrogen in K-doped electrospun graphite nanofibres
The physisorptive capability of graphite-based nanomaterials for hydrogen is strongly dependent on their surface areas and nanomorphologies. We have made electrospun graphite... -
Site Dilution and Orbital Effects in Magnetically Frustrated Perovskites Ba2C...
Antiferromagnetic interactions on geometrically frustrated lattices such as the fcc lattice can result in novel magnetic states and structures. Ba2CoMoO6 is an fcc... -
Spin excitations in La2O2Fe2OSe2 ¿ A Mott insulator candidate
We propose to map out the spin excitations in La2O2FeOSe2 using the MARI chopper spectrometer on a powder sample. Although the structure of La2O2FeOSe2 has some similarities to... -
Structure, thermal expansion and vibrational properties of ammonium bicarbona...
Ammonium carbonates, sensu lato, have relevance to carbon capture schemes and as potential hydrogen storage materials. These compounds occur on Earth as minerals and, since... -
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).... -
Determination of the Low Temperature Crystal Structure of Cobalt Adipate
This experiment will use high resolution neutron diffraction to investigate the crystal and magnetic structure of the cobalt adipate framework, Co(CO2(CH2)4CO2), at lower... -
Magnetism and first order phase transition of Ni42Co8Mn38Sb12: Neutron diffra...
Heusler alloys have gained important place in condensed matter physics due to their versatile functional properties such as large magnetoresistance, giant magnetocaloric effect,...
