Spin relaxation of short-lived spin-labelled radicals in solution
The spin relaxation rates of free radicals in solution can provide valuable information about the dynamics of molecular tumbling in solution, and solvent-radical interactions.... -
Interlayer Dynamics in Graphite Intercalation Compounds
Alkali metals are well-known to form regularly-layered graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) which exhibit a number of novel and practically important structural and... -
The structure of hydrogen in calcium-ammonia-graphite: an in situ time resolv...
The aim of this proposal is to determine the in-plane and out-of-plane structure of H2 in the two dimensional galleries of stage-I calcium-ammonia-graphite intercalates: this... -
Mechanism of hydrogen residue in metal hydrides formed from high-entropy allo...
High-entropy alloys (HEAs) typically contain four or more principle elements in equimolar amounts. We have recently discovered the first bcc HEA-based hydride with reversible... -
Structure of Confined Salivary Films
Lubrication by saliva is a key factor in oral health and food consumption. It is know that salivary lubrication is mediated by the thin proteinaceous film i.e., the pellicle,... -
Uptake of Molecular Hydrogen by High-performance Carbon Nanostructures (IRIS)
High sorption capacities and enhanced interaction strengths are the two most fundamental prerequisites for the deployment of carbon-based materials as hydrogen-storage media. In... -
The Structure of Ca- and Yb-ammonia Solutions: Polarons, Bipolarons and Elect...
In this experiment we propose to perform diffraction on isotopically substituted samples of Ca/Yb:ND/H3 and Ca/Yb:15ND3 at two concentrations (8 and 2 MPM) using the new NIMROD... -
Structure of Confined Mucin Films
Nowadays, a significant research effort is devoted to understand and mimic biological lubricants which, in contrast to most man-made lubricants, are based on water. It has been...
