Structural behaviour of gallium in phosphate glasses for bone cements
Bone cements are an important class of biomaterial used in hard tissue surgery as well as periodontology. Many of these are glass-ionomer cements formed from an aluminosilicate... -
Local structure in Ti2AlX (X = Ta, Mo, Nb, Cr or Fe) B2 ordered intermetallic...
Research focused on improving the efficiency of gas turbines is of great importance for energy generation and transportation. A much desired way of achieving this is the... -
In-situ study of oxygen storage materials in the Zr-Ce-O system
Zirconia-ceria ceramics are promising materials within automotive exhaust catalysts, exploiting the Ce3+<->Ce4+ redox reactions to store oxygen. For a Zr:Ce ratio of 1:1... -
New surfactants forming anisotropic micelles and microemulsions in CO2
An analogue of the popular surfactant AOT with isopropyl glycol tails (IG-AOT, Figure.1) has been recently designed as a co-surfactant for water-in-CO2 (w/c) systems: stable... -
Oxidation of bilayer of labelled DPPC by aqueous hydroxyl radical elucidati...
Oxidation of atmospheric aerosol can produce cloud condensation nuclei capable of changing the reflectivity and lifetime of clouds. The oxidation of organic film on atmospheric... -
Development of a Novel Low - Intermediate Temperature Solid Proton Conductor
The compound, Si5O(PO4)6, is a component of a solid phosphoric acid catalyst, it has highly unusual coordination of the silicon (octahedral, as well as the more common... -
Verification of Local Ordering in Praseodymium Doped Ceria
Doped cerias are currently being used as oxide ion conducting electrolyte materials in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Depending on the nature and concentration of the dopant... -
Structures of New Doped RuO2 Rutiles
We have prepared some new mixed-metal oxides using a chemical synthesis approach that provides access to materials not seen using other techniques. The materials are potentially... -
In-situ investigations of the structure-property relationship in lithium inse...
This proposal details the use of an in-situ cell optimised for use on the POLARIS beamline to study the structure-property relationships in the defect perovskite lithium... -
Evolve of the Spin Waves in Rb0.8Fe1.6Se2 at High Temperature
The newly discovered AxFe2-ySe2 (A=K,Rb,Cs) compounds have attracted great interests because of their parent compounds are insulators instead of being metallic [2-6].... -
Hydration and sweetness of synthetic sweeteners
Recently, the degree of sweetness of natural sugars has been associated and correlated to their hydration shell (strength, orientation and length of their hydrogen bonds with... -
Quantum Entanglement of Neutron Spin, Path and Energy
What does a quantum particle do when you are not looking at it? For a classical moving object, like a golf ball, we know its trajectory even when we are not looking at it. This... -
Revealing the structures of porous liquids
New technological advances require new types of materials. For example, currently there is no economical technology for capturing carbon dioxide released from power plants. We... -
Effect of alloying on the misfit of Ni-Ni3Al-Ni3V alloys
Ni-base superalloys have long been used in high temperature applications, including the high-demand environments of the high pressure turbines in jet engines. The remarkable... -
PDF Studies of Li-rich Disordered Rock Salts as High Performance Cathode Mate...
To develop the next generation of high performance Li-ion rechargeable batteries we need to find new positive electrode materials with a greater capacity to store charge. It is... -
Determination of residual stresses during the heat treatment of polycrystalli...
Polycrystalline diamond (PCD) is a man-made diamond material used for drilling and machining operations. Its vastly superior hardness to any other material allows it to cut... -

Effects of IR Illumination on Mu Dynamics and Mu0 Formation in TiO2
We propose a study of Mu dynamics and the low temperature Mu$^0$-like states in TiO$_{2}$ under near-IR illumination to investigate the resulting excitonic states and behaviour.... -
Single-Crystal Neutron Diffraction Study on [U(C5Me5)2(H)(mu¿H)]2
To our knowledge, the length of the U¿H single bond has never been accurately measured, at least not in a molecular compound by single-crystal neutron diffraction. We currently... -
Neutron reflectivity for lithium battery SEI formation
We will use neutron reflectivity to probe the formation of the passivating layer which forms on lithium battery electrodes, which ultimately governs their long term performance....
