This proposal is a continuation of a study of molten salts which have a large number of applications, including applications in fuel cells and, in the case of nitrates, as...

Understanding the thermal conductivity of zinc oxide is of central importance in assessing its potential for a wide variety of applications in optoelectronics, power electronics...

Survey consists of questions about household's expenditure by it's purpose (food, drink, clothing, footwear, rent, etc.), housing conditions, availability of durable consumers...

The purpose of Census 2002 is to collect data concerning inhabitants, families, households and dwellings for planning future necessities, decisions and trend on Slovenia's...

Zeolite catalysts are highly porous materials that take up gases and vapours into their pores. Accommodating the guest molecule inside the host framework leads to distortion...

Water is the source of life, but the effects of hydration water on the conformation change and function of biological and bio-compatible macromolecules are still full of...

The compounds we want to study belong to the well-known tetragonal RM2X2 family (R: rare earth, M: d element, X: Ge, Si). In EuCu2(SixGe1-x)2, the Eu valence changes, as a...

Inorganic-organic hybrid nanocomposites are formed by incorporating inorganic nanoparticles in soft organic polymer matrices. The dynamics of the polymer can be affected due to...

In this proposal we aim to study the low temperature uptake and dynamics of hydrogen in the interlayer region of partially hydrated pillared Na-laponite clay. There are linked...

Caesium hydrogen sulfate, CsHSO4 is a solid acid proton conductor, which operates in the temperature range from 100 to 200 °C. Hence, it has potential application in...

Recently we have carried out inelastic neutron scattering measurements on Li2RuO3 to understand the nature of the phase transition at 550K. We have seen a clear inelastic...

Although the surface properties and self-organisation of end-functional polymers in amorphous blends are well understood, the influence of crystallinity has received little...

We propose to use neutron total scattering to characterise isocyanate (NCO-) orientations within the orientationally-disordered phase of AgNCO. The arrangement of NCO- ions in...

Polyurethane foams (PUFs) are commonly prepared by mixing Pluronic type copolymers and isocyanate reactive monomers in the presence of additives e.g. catalysts, blowing agent...

Apatites are a large group of chemically and structurally flexible functional materials with important applications as solid electrolytes. The majority of known apatite...

Despite the insight provided by the ab initio approach, there still remain some important questions concerning the hydrogen insertion in new hydrogen storage systems,...

The concept of an aristotype, or equivalently, the basic structure, that represents the highest symmetry crystal structure that can be attained, either experimentally, or...

In this proposal, we seek to use quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) to investigate the phase behaviour of molecular or di-hydrogen (H2) in cylindrical and slit-shaped pores...

We have developed and demonstrated a novel process to overcome chemical reaction equilibrium constraints on an important reversible industrial chemical reaction by using...

This proposal continues our studies of surfactant micelles using NIMROD, to obtain previously inaccessible details of headgroup-ion interactions. In our previous experiments...
