In situ studies of the transition between high-density and very-high-density ...
The amorphous ices are good model systems for the study of pressure amorphisation and provide our princpal experimental test of the two liquids model of water. This seeks to... -
Mixed gas hydrates at high pressure
High pressure gas hydrates offer considerable potential for gas storage applications if methods can be devised to stablise them at lower pressures. This proposal is form... -
The hydrogen clathrates of hydroquinone and urea
The search for new hydrogen storage materials is of considerable importance given the need to develop a carbon-free energy economy. This proposal is to investigate the... -
The high pressure structures of lithium ammonia
Lithium ammonia is the lowest temperature liquid metal known and has been suggested as a candidate for high Tc superconductivity at high pressure. In earlier work at the ILL we... -
The high pressure structure of deuterium
Of all the stable elements hydrogen(deuterium) is the least well studied from a structural point of view. Not one of its crystal structures has been fully charecterised. This...
