Water librations in proton conducting hydrated alkali thio-hydroxogermanates
We propose to perform a systematic study of the intermolecular librational mode of molecular water in the proton conducting hydrated alkali thio-hydroxogermanates... -
Interaction of Chiral Amino Acids and Sugars with Hydrated Vermiculite Clay
This proposal aims to provide an atomistic understanding of the adsorption of chiral amino acids and sugars on mineral surfaces using isotopically labelled reagents. Our... -
Quantum corrections for water in carbon nanohorns
The microscopic structure of of water [and ice] in carbon nanohorns by neutron diffraction on GEM has shown that water has a density that is ~20% lower than the normal liquid... -
Water dynamics in porous PTFE membranes for water purification
This is a resubmitted proposal in a new project on water purification by membrane distillation. With this technology liquid water is excluded from passing the separating... -
Nature of structural disorder in proton conducting In-doped BaZrO3
This proposal requests three days on the Polaris diffractometer to investigate the nature of local structure in the well known proton conducting perovskite system... -
Resubmission of: The Dynamics of Paraquat in Aqueous Solution and Hydrated Clay
This proposal will enable us to study the dynamics of an important water soluble pesticide molecule, paraquat, in solution and in the interlayer region of swelling... -
Local structure and proton sites in proton conducting brownmillerites
This proposal requests 3 days on Maps to investigate the nature of local structure and proton sites in the proton conducting brownmillerite system Ba2In1.85M0.15O6H2 (M = In,... -
Interaction of Chiral Amino Acids with Hydrated Vermiculite Clay
The aim of this proposal is to obtain an atomistic understanding of the adsorption of chiral amino acids on mineral surfaces. Our previous experiments on LOQ and at ILL on D16... -
Proton transport on metallic oxide nanoparticle surfaces
The surface of metal oxide nanoparticles are typically coated with layers of water that are strongly bonded to the surface. The properties of these water layers are... -
