Being the only sustainable source of organic carbon, biomass is playing an ever-
increasingly important role in our energy landscape. The conversion of renewable …

This work provides an up-to-date account of the use of electron-volt neutron spectroscopy in
materials research. This is a growing area of neutron science, capitalising upon the unique …

Conversion of lignin into monocyclic hydrocarbons as commodity chemicals and drop-in
fuels is a highly desirable target for biorefineries. However, this is severely hindered by the …

Molecular vibrations play a critical role in the charge transport properties of weakly van der
Waals bonded organic semiconductors. To understand which specific phonon modes …

The presence of active sites in metal–organic framework (MOF) materials can control and
affect their performance significantly in adsorption and catalysis. However, revealing the …

A thorough vibrational spectroscopy and molecular modeling study on poly (ethylene 2, 5-
furandicarboxylate)(PEF) explores its conformational preferences, in the amorphous and …

The solids choline chloride and urea, mixed in a 1: 2 molar proportion, form the iconic deep
eutectic solvent “Reline”. A combination of computational and vibrational spectroscopy tools …

Studying the vibration of atoms is of fundamental importance and can provide critical insight
for the understanding of materials behavior, such as structure and phase transition …

The primary flightpath of the TOSCA indirect geometry neutron spectrometer has been
upgraded with a high-m 14.636 m (including 0.418 m of air gaps) neutron guide composed …

In this short review, we will briefly summarise the differences between INS spectroscopy and
conventional infrared and Raman spectroscopies. We will illustrate these with the current …
