Low temperature phase transitions in ferroelectric tris-sarcosine calcium chl...
Small-molecule based ferroelectrics offer several advantages over the currently used materials based on heavy metal oxides (i.e. cost, environmental-friendliness). There are... -
Isolating exchange pathways in novel molecular magnets
Experimentally exploring the fascinating physics of one- and two-dimensional magnetism continues to rely on the synthesis of novel, model systems with highly anisotropic... -
Investigating the origin of thermochromism in N-salicylideneanilines
Anils, N-salicylideneanilines, display thermochromism, which is thought to involve an intramolecular proton shift, but to-date the structural changes postulated to occur during... -
Understanding Micelle Formation in Binary Ionic Liquid Mixtures
Neutron diffraction will be used to investigate and compare the structure of binary mixtures of ionic liquids above and below the critical micelle concentration. Mixtures of... -
The Dynamics of the Molecular Subunit, [Li(NH3)4]+ ¿ Kinetic Energies, Proton...
We request 7 days on VESUVIO to study the molecular crystals 7Li(NH3)4X (X=I, Br, Cl , F) and parent halides, 7LiX (data for 7LiF and 7LiCl already exists). This proposal is... -
Deammoniation Investigations of the ammines MX2.nNH3 (M= Mg, X= I,Cl,Br)- pot...
The applicants seek 4 days of beam time on POLARIS to study the deammoniation process of synthesised M(NH3)6X2 (M=Mg, X=I, Cl, Br) which are an important class of materials for... -
Structure of aggregation of peptide surfactants: effect of the size of amino ...
Peptide surfactants are a group of interesting biomimetic amphiphiles capable of forming a range of nanostructures. The aim of this work is to use SANS to determine the... -
Coupling of chains in a new, highly tuneable, isostructural series of model q...
Here we propose measurements on a unique, newly synthesized series of coordination polymers based on chains of Cu2+ ions. These have been designed with the intention of...
