Investigation of Crystal and Magnetic Structures in high pressure synthesized...
Three new doubly ordered perovskites NaYMWO6 (M=Mn, Co & Ni) have been synthesized by high pressure and high temperature. Analysis of room temperature laboratory X-ray... -
Probing re-entrant glassy state in spin chain compound Sm2BaNiO5 using µ-SR s...
We are currently investigating Haldane spin-chain compounds [PRB 2017] of the type R2BaNiO5 (R = rare earth) using bulk measurements and have found the multifunctional... -
Hydrates in the binary system waterdimethylsulfoxide
Mixture of water and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) are useful as preservative liquids for the storage of living cells at very low temperatures, such that they can be revived and used... -
Investigation of the Li-H bond nature and stages of chemisorption in Li6C60
Alkali intercalated fullerides represent a competitive alternative to complex metal hydrides for static and on-board hydrogen storage applications, thanks to their good... -
Methane hydrate formation in the presence of surfactant
In this proposal we wish to study in situ formation of methane hydrates in surfactant solutions. The broad aim of this research is to enable us to understand how we can... -
QENS studies of improved hydrogen release in nanostructured ammonia borane fi...
Increasing the density of hydrogen storage is critical for the commercial introduction of hydrogen vehicles. Our nanostructured electrospun ammonia borane (AB)-polystyrene (PS)... -

Structural distortions and partial order in the selenate and chromate analogu...
The mineral mirabilite (di-sodium sulfate decahydrate) has been extensively studied by X-ray and neutron powder and single-crystal diffraction methods. The structure contains an... -
Study of the dynamics of lyophilized protein/bioprotectant systems
Developing recombinant protein pharmaceuticals has proved to be very challenging because of both the complexity of protein production and purification, and the limited physical... -
Exceptionally High Adsorption of Carbon Dioxide and Light Hydrocarbons in a T...
Porous functional metal-organic framework (MOF) materials show great potential for high capacity gas storage and separation. We seek to develop new materials for carbon capture... -
Diffraction of potassium-intercalated graphitic nanofibres with hydrogen
Nanostructured carbons are promising precursors for a high-capacity reversible hydrogen storage material with fast kinetics, but the interaction of H2 with pure graphite is too... -
Magnetic correlation length measurements in Fe/Si multilayers using spin echo...
We wish to investigate the magnetic structure of a series of magnetic multilayers using a new technique we have successfully implemented called Spin Echo Modulated Small Angle... -
Tracking spring-type motions in inorganic helices
Materials with helical and double helical structure motifs are prone to display fascinating spring-type behaviour, i.e. a shallow energy surface along the spring-axis in which... -
Dynamic studies on the Li2B12H12 formation for 2LiBH4+MgH2/2LiH+MgB2 destabil...
The use of fossil fuels as an energy supply becomes increasingly problematic from the point of view of both environmental emissions and energy sustainability. As an alternative,... -

Self assembly of thermoresponsive gels
Thermoresponsive gels are widely used for tissue engineering and drug delivery applications. They consist of a thermoresponsive polymer that self-assembles in a 3D network when... -
Alpha-CaCr2O4: magnetic study of a new case of triangulaire Cr-lattice
We propose to study a layered oxide in which chromium cations describe a triangular array. Itseems us that no magnetic data are reported up to now for this alpha-CaCr2O4...
