In the last decades the production and consumption of reactive nitrogen increased exponentially due to the extensive utilisation of nitrogen containing compounds as fertilizers...

The objective of the proposed experiment is to develop an understanding of the Li/Ni/Mn ordering in a commercially relevant lithium ion battery positive electrode,...

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...

Recent studies in our laboratory have shown that a range of A-site deficient perovskite oxides, with carefully tuned chemical compositions, exhibit excellent properties when...

Lanthanum-containing germanate apatites are materials with potential applications as electrolytes in solid oxide fuel cells. The conductivity of these materials is known to...

The proposal addresses the average structures of new lead-free ferroelectrics, low-temperature ionic conductors and mixed conductors which are candidate solid oxide fuel cell...

Molten carbonates and other molten salts have potential applications as diverse as fuel cells, CO2 sequestration and other energy applications. Understanding the structure and...

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

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...

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...

Increasing global population, global warming and depletion of fossil fuels have resulted in a growing need for better energy storage. Lithium-ion batteries are promising devices...

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...

We wish to probe the suggested existence of a high-temperature cubic perovskite phase in the multiferroic material BiFe0.7Mn0.3O3. The parent phase of this material, BiFeO3, was...
