Transition from gas-like to liquid-like behavior in supercritical N2 (2019)
Journal Article
Proctor, J., Pruteanu, C., Morrison, I., Crowe, I., & Loveday, J. (2019). Transition from gas-like to liquid-like behavior in supercritical N2. Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, 10(21), 6584-6589. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jpclett.9b02358

We have studied in detail the transition from gas-like to rigid liquidlike behavior in supercritical N2 at 300 K (2.4 TC). Our study combines neutron diffraction and Raman spectroscopy with ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. We observe a narr...

Observation of liquid–liquid phase transitions in ethane at 300 K (2018)
Journal Article
Proctor, J., Bailey, M., Morrison, I., Hakeem, M., & Crowe, I. (2018). Observation of liquid–liquid phase transitions in ethane at 300 K. Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 122(44), 10172-10178. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jpcb.8b07982

We have conducted Raman spectroscopy experiments on liquid ethane (C2H6) at 300 K, obtaining a large amount of data at very high resolution. This has enabled the observation of Raman peaks expected but not previously observed in liquid ethane and... Read More about Observation of liquid–liquid phase transitions in ethane at 300 K.

The use of in-situ ion-irradiation/TEM techniques to study radiation damage in SiC (2014)
Thesis
Pawley, C. The use of in-situ ion-irradiation/TEM techniques to study radiation damage in SiC. (Thesis). University of Salford

SiC is a material currently under consideration to be used in future generations of fission and fusion reactors where it will be subjected to high temperatures and significant fluxes of energetic neutrons. The work reported in this thesis aims to ans... Read More about The use of in-situ ion-irradiation/TEM techniques to study radiation damage in SiC.

The pressure–temperature phase diagram of MgH2 and isotopic substitution (2011)
Journal Article
Moser, D., Baldissin, G., Bull, D., Riley, D., Morrison, I., Ross, D., …Noreus, D. (2011). The pressure–temperature phase diagram of MgH2 and isotopic substitution. Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 23(30), 305403. https://doi.org/10.1088/0953-8984/23/30/305403

Computational thermodynamics using density functional theory ab initio codes is a powerful tool for calculating phase diagrams. The method is usually applied at the standard pressure of p = 1 bar and where the Gibbs energy is assumed to be equal to t...

Stability of transition metal doped magnesium hydride high-pressure phases (2010)
Thesis
Moser, D. Stability of transition metal doped magnesium hydride high-pressure phases. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

MgH2 is hydrogen dense but normally has a rutile structure, which is too stable with too low a hydrogen diffusion rate for practical applications. At pressures of several GPa a CaF2 structure phase has been predicted for MgH2 . With a small fracti... Read More about Stability of transition metal doped magnesium hydride high-pressure phases.

The dependence of the hydrogen sorption capacity of single-walled carbon nanotubes on the concentration of catalyst (2009)
Journal Article

The adsorption of hydrogen on single-walled carbon nanotubes was measured using micro-gravimetric nitrogen and hydrogen adsorption isotherms at 77 K for gas pressures of up to 1 bar (nitrogen) and 12 bar (hydrogen). Results show that surface area and... Read More about The dependence of the hydrogen sorption capacity of single-walled carbon nanotubes on the concentration of catalyst.
