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... -
Revising the onset of anharmonicity in proteins
Our previous INS studies of ¿dry¿/hydrated apoferritin show that the hydrated protein undergoes a dynamical transition, Td, at 200K. Such behavior, first modeled by Doster et al... -
Lattice and proton vibrational dynamics in Sc-doped BaTiO3 proton conductors
Proton conducting BaTi1-xScxO3Hx (BTS) perovskites are promising materials for proton conducting fuel cells in the intermediate temperature regime (200-600 °C). Compared to... -

Local structure and proton sites in proton conducting brownmillerites
This proposal requests 6 days on Tosca to investigate the nature of local structure and proton sites in the proton conducting brownmillerite system Ba2In1.85M0.15O6H2 (M = In,... -
MuSR Studies of the Proton Conducting Polymer Nafion
The fluorinated ionomer Nafion is a material that provides efficient proton conducting membranes for application in important technological areas such as hydrogen fuel cells.... -
Proton mobility in Solid Super Proton Conductor (H3O)SbTeO6 at controlled hum...
Super proton conductors are in the focus of interest because of their use in low temperature fuel cells. In this project we try to obtain information on proton mobility,... -
Structural phase diagram of hydrated silks
The formation of silk fibres in both spiders and silkworms is characterized by a conversion of short range ordered structures in solution into long range ordered beta-sheet rich... -
Study of the bioprotective effectiveness of trehalose/glycerol mixtures on ly...
The proposed experiment aims to study the dynamics of hydrated lysozyme in presence of trehalose, glycerol and trehalose/glycerol mixtures at different relative concentration in... -
Structural characterization of water confined in MCM-41
By combining NDIS experiment and EPSR simulation we have been able to show with a previous experiment (RB 720500) two main phenomena for water confined in the MCM silica matrix.... -

Simultaneous Raman and INS Studies of C70
The vibrational spectrum of C70 has been investigated by many techniques since it became available in significcant quantities. Previous INS spectra were recorded with small... -
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... -
Effect of Pressure on the Structure and Dynamics of Titanium Tetrachloride
At ambient pressure TiCl4 forms a molecular solid consisting of isolated TiCl4 molecules (phase-I). At 0.5 GPa this structure undergoes a transition to phase-II, which is... -
INS STUDY OF BIOCHAR AS SOLID ACID CATALYSTS
Pyrolysis is considered as a sustainable way to generate energy from bio-oil, however, biochar – a solid residue by-product– is inevitably produced in the production line. We...
