In search of origin of metal-insulator transition in honeycomb structure Li2RuO3
Recently we have carried out inelastic neutron scattering measurements on Li2RuO3 to understand the nature of the phase transition at 550K. We have seen a clear inelastic... -
In-situ reaction of lithium amide or imide with manganese(IV) oxide
We request 3 days beam time on POLARIS for in-situ powder diffraction studies of the reactions of lithium amide or lithium imide with manganese(IV) oxide under flowing argon or... -

The aim of the experiment is to investigate by means of in situ NPD the structural behavior of two new Mn-rich double perovskites compounds, NdBaCo1.5Mn0.5O5+d and NdBaMn2O5+d... -
Oxygen mobility in the defect perovskite Sr3SbO5.5
We propose to use Polaris to record powder neutron diffraction data for the oxygen deficient double perovskite Sr3SbO5.5 as a function of temperature to establish the... -
Towards the development of carbonitrides as novel two-stage regenerable reage...
We are examining a number of cobalt-molybdenum carbonitrides as possible catalysts for reactions that produce nitrogen-containing organic molecules. There is good evidence that... -
Hydrogen from ammonia using lithium imide metal nitride composites
Light metal amides and imides are a new class of highly active ammonia decomposition catalysts. Indeed, composites of lithium imide and transition metal nitrides are likely to... -
Phase Transitions and Orbital Ordering in SrRu1-xCuxO3.
This proposal seeks to establish the importance of orbital ordering on the stability of the tetragonal phase in Cu doped SrRiuO3. Orbital ordering is believed to be a... -
Glasses and supercooled liquids in the Se-Cl system
Little is known on the structure and properties of vitreous Se doped with halogens in contrast to group III, IV, V, and VI dopants and also many metal additives. Our Raman... -
Ammonia synthesis using lithium hydride-metal nitride composites: an in situ ...
The development of more active catalysts for the production of ammonia will have a worldwide impact on the energy cost of producing fertiliser. Composites of lithium hydride and... -
In-situ studies of amides with ammonia
The aim of this proposal is to determine that materials that are present in the ammoniation of amides. -
Local structure of liquid gallium-iodine and gallium-indium
Liquid metal alloys, with liquidus temperatures close to room temperature, are a rapidly developing research area with novel applications in renewable energy, catalysis,... -
Order/disorder and phase transitions in the OLED material Alq3

Hydrogen production from ammonia using lithium imide: an isotope study
We have recently discovered that light metal amides and imides are excellent cattalysts for the decomposition of ammonia. We request 3 days on POLARIS to perform in situ neutron... -
Structural relaxation in liquid Gallium
Cooling down a liquid at ambient pressure all except Helium attain a solid state. If a crystalline state is reached a dramatic change in long range order occurs manifesting the... -
Spin orientation in natural nanoscale intergrowths and the origin of giant ex...
The orientation of spins in a natural sample of Ti-bearing hematite (Fe2O3) has been measured previously from 2-300K using neutron powder diffraction. It was shown that spins... -
Structural phase diagram of rare earth substituted multiferroic BiFeO3 - revi...
BiFeO3 is the most widely studied multiferroic and rare earth doping overcomes problems associated with phase metastability and leakage which have hampered applications. We... -
