The recently discovered iron based superconductors have transition temperatures second only to the cuprates. The majority of these compounds display superconductivity after...

Copper (I) hydride, CuH, is unique amongst the binary metal hydrides in that it can be synthesised, at room temperature, in aqueous solution. In recent years CuH generated in...

The applicants have recently completed a series of INS studies on a model iron Fischer-Tropsch catalyst. That work established that different sample pre-treatments could...

The decontamination of chemical weapons is a subject of intense political and scientific scrutiny. Copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles (NP) have proven efficiency in the safe...

The aim of the present proposal is to investigate the mechanism of CO oxidation over hydrous palladium oxide, both directly and indirectly. For the direct route, the sample will...

CuH was first prepared by Wurtz in 1844 by the reaction of aqueous copper sulfate with hypophosphorous acid. Several other routes have been developed including precipitation of...

The migration of cations with a charge greater than 1 has received very little attention historically, perhaps due to no commercially driven demand for the research as well as...

Surfactant-silica self-assembly processes have been extensively studied since the discovery of M41S mesoporous materials in 1992. Mesoporous silicate films can be grown from...

We recently used high-resolution neutron diffraction on HRPD to observe the largest magneto-elastic coupling ever seen in a metallic magnet. The material studied was CoMnSi, a...

Acceptor-doped perovskite oxides exhibit significant proton conductivity under humid or hydrogen containing atmosphere, which opens a unique possibility to be used as...

There is great interest in scaling up Li-ion batteries for use in electric vehicles, requiring cheap andsafe cathodes. Recently, silicate-based cathodes have been described,...

There is great interest in scaling up Li-ion batteries for use in electric vehicles, requiring cheap and safe cathodes. Li2FeSiO4 shows promising performance as a cathode but...
