The interaction of C6Hx (x = 6, 8, 10, 12) with Raney Ni
Fuels such as diesel contains different kinds of aromatic and poly aromatic compounds, which on their combustion emits environmental pollutants such as SOx, NOx, COx, and... -
Structural changes of lecithin wormlike micelles by adding solutes
Lecithin is a natural zwitterionic gemini surfactant that self-assembles in a hydrocarbon solvent, forming spherical or ellipsoidal inverse micelles, which grow into giant... -
Solvent-induced curvature of micelles
The purpose is to follow a structural evolution as water soluble (normal curvature) micelles are gradually transformed into oil soluble (reversed curvature) aggregates. Although... -
Measurement of surface diffusion on Raney nickel
Many catalysts work by adsorbing molecules onto their surface to from a more concentrated phase, which increases the likelihood of reactants colliding, and reacting to form a... -
Investigation of excitonic physics in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules
The MuSES project currently ongoing in the HiFi spectrometer gives unique opportunity in the field of photochemistry and photophysics of organic molecules. After two successful... -
