High pressure behaviour of ammonium carbamate
A number of compounds crystallise in the NH3-H2O-CO2 ternary system, including ammonium carbonates and carbamates, these being closely related to the water-deficient compound... -
Spontaneous surface multilayer formation in oligoamine ¿ surfactant mixtures
This proposal is part of a major EPSRC (EP/GR065705)/Unilever funded programme to develop and control the spontaneous formation of surfactant multilayer structures at... -
Hydrogen kinetics in nano-layered metal hydrides for hydrogen sensing applica...
Accurate, safe and cheap hydrogen detectors functioning under a wide range of conditions are a vital ingredient for using hydrogen as an energy carrier. A novel, safe and cheap... -
Methyl iodide (CH3I) removal using high-surface area activated carbons: moist...
During the operation of nuclear plants, several fission products are released. Among them, radioiodine is considered one of the most important due to its tendency to form... -
Neutron reflectivity of self-assembled Janus Nanoparticles
Here we propose to study the Janus character of self-assembled amphiphilic nanoparticles. For that amphiphilic core-shell nanoparticles will be synthesized with a surface... -
Neutron Diffraction Studies of Polycrystalline CeCr1-xTixGe3 (x = 0, 0.5, 1.0)
Observation of both ferromagnetic ordering and Kondo/heavy fermion behavior in a system is not so common. Recently we have discovered the Kondo effect/heavy fermion behavior in... -
Investigation of magnetic phase coexistence and determination of magnetic pha...
The solid solution Mn(1-x)Fe(x)WO4 exhibits complex antiferromagnetic order with coexistence of commensurate and incommensurate magnetic structures. Furthermore, the MnWO4 end... -
Dynamic Long Range Antiferromagnetic Order in Frustrated Perovskites, Ba2-xSr...
We use chemistry to arrange unusual crystal structures that set up conflicting interactions between magnetic ions in the material. In these compounds i is not possible for a... -
How perfume structure affects surface coadsorption with anionic surfactants
In a recent EPSRC / Unilever / Oxford CASE project we have used NR to explore and develop optimised delivery mechanism for active benefit agents such as perfumes. In particular... -

Low temperature magnetic properties of the mineral gaudefroyite
The mineral gaudefroyite contains parallel chains of linked MnO6 octahedra. The Mn magnetic moments order with parallel spins within a given chain at low temperature, but the... -
Magnetostructural study of Percolation Behaviour in Double Perovskites Ba2Fe1...
We propose to use two days of beamtime on POLARIS to determine the structure and magnetic ordering that occurs in a series of cation-ordered perovskites. These cubic compounds... -
Exploration of the pressure-induced amorphization and glassy states of THF-cl...
Clathrate hydrates (CHs) are ice structures in which water molecules (host) form cages through hydrogen bonds. The cages can accommodate various types of molecules (guests),... -
Validating calorimetric self aggregation models: Self aggregation of cationic...
Ligand self aggregation is a common problem when studying interactions with bio(macro)molecules. In particular for techniques requiring relatively high ligand concentrations,... -
A High pressure investigation of the Manganese Carbonyls Mn(CO)5(CH3) and Mn(...
Organometallic compounds play an important role in catalysis, and compounds with metal carbonyl groups have been studied at elevated pressure by vibrational spectroscopy, but... -
Structure of oxidised phospholipid bilayers
Biological membranes protect cells and are essential for their survival and damaged membranes may cause serious harm to the cell. A primary cause of damage to membranes is... -
Pressure-Tuning Interactions in Spin-Crossover Metal-Organic Frameworks
The magnetism of spin-crossover (SCO) materials containing Fe(II) can be switched by changing conditions. The low-spin state existing at low temperature or high pressure can be... -
Texture evolution in Zircalloy 4 during beta heat treatment
The aim of the proposed experiment is to measure the changes in crystallographic temperature during beta quenching of Zircalloy 4, an important nuclear fuel cladding material. -
Kinetics of Protein Adsorption on well-characterised polymer brushes
We wish to develop a rational understanding of the mechanisms underlying the way water soluble polymer brushes - in particular those of polyethylene oxide/polyethylene glycol -... -
Inelastic neutron scattering in the Ce3Co4Sn13 heavy Fermion compound
We propose to use the OSIRIS spectrometer to measure the inelastic magnetic scattering on the newly discovered heavy Fermion compound Ce3Co4Sn13. This compound has one of the...
