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...

Ammonia is seen as a key part of the transition to a sustainable energy economy, but needs decomposition catalysts to release its stored hydrogen. Lithium nitride-hydride...

Whilst rechargeable batteries continue to take over the consumer electronics market, they are unsuitable to replace specific battery technologies, such as the thermal battery,...

There has been significant interest in the oxide ion conducting material La2Mo2O9 as a new electrolyte after initial reports of conductivity as high as that of YSZ at lower...

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...

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...

Fuel cells exhibit high-energy efficiency and the only release is clean water when used with hydrogen. Proton ceramic fuel cells (PCFC) are from special interest because proton...

The present research proposal focuses on solving technological challenges associated with the implementation of components of Nickel superalloys produced by Additive...

The aim of this proposal is to determine that materials that are present in the ammoniation of amides.

We request 5 days beamtime on the Polaris diffractometer to perform simultaneous ionic conductivity and neutron powder diffraction measurements of five superionic binary...

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...

Ti2AlN and Ti4AlN3 are MAX phases that exhibit a unique combination of the characteristics of both ceramics and metals coupled with an unusual combination of mechanical,...

The future of aviation relies on the improvement of the efficiency of the jet-turbine engines, which is in turn reliant on the properties of the materials (specifically the...

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...

Multiferroics and in particular BiFeO3 have recieved alot of interest. The potential of multiferroic materials to be incorporated into many devices such as sensors and memory...

This proposal requests 6 days beamtime on the Polaris diffractometer to study the nature of the local structure within two systems which have been reported to show a solid...

XNiSn (X = Ti, Zr, Hf) Half-Heusler materials are potential candidates for application in thermoelectric waste heat recovery. The aim of the experiment is to follow the...
