Local boron and oxygen structure in lanthanide orthoborates LnBO3
We propose to carry out neutron total scattering on a series of five compounds with the formula LnBO3 (Ln = Y, Tb, Ho, Er, Yb). This will enable us to study the B--O distances... -
Local structure in PMN-PT relaxor ferroelectrics
The proposed experiments will provide neutron total-scattering data for elucidating the nanoscale ordering of polar atomic displacements that underlie the commercially viable... -
Photo-catalytic oxidation of phenol over porous TiO2: A Modulation excitation...
Solar energy is an abundant renewable source to tackle energy and environmental concerns. For example, solar energy can be converted into electricity, can be used to produce... -
Understanding pressure-driven structural changes in FePO4-II
The room temperature high pressure behaviour of FePO4-I has been investigated and a phase transition at around 2.5 GPa to the orthorhombic phase (FePO4-II) accompanied by a... -
Understanding pressure-driven structural and magnetic properties in LaFeO3
This proposal is concerned with determining variations in the high pressure crystallographic and magnetic structure of LaFeO3. LaFeO3 is a characteristic example of... -
ToF ND investigation of Medieval double-edged swords
The European Medieval double-edged sword develops in the 11th century from the Viking Age sword. Already in the 10th century, some of the finest examples of the Ulfberht type of... -

Probing Low Dimensional Magnetism in Lanthanide Formate Magnetocalorics
Low dimensional magnetism provides a crucial playground for the discovery and exploitation of unconventional behaviour. Coordination frameworks have a tendency to adopt highly... -
Magnetism, structure and superconductivity in Sr1¿xNaxFe2As2 (HRPD)
We will use the high resolution of HRPD and the excellent long d-spacing data available on OSIRIS to investigate the phase transitions in Sr1-xNaxFe2As2 which are associated... -
Kinetics of Benzene Hydrogenation Revisited in the Presence of Excess Liquid
Heterogeneous catalysis, where the reagents are either contained in a liquid medium, or are liquids in their own right, plays a significant part of the chemical industry. These... -
Local magnetic distortion close to the Curie transition in the magnetocaloric...
Magnetic cooling is a reliable technique for refrigeration, however, understanding of fundamental science and materials is essential for utilizing the technique fully. Fe2P is... -
Metal Distributions in TiCoSb and (Ti1-xVx)Co1-yFey(Sb1-zSnz) half-Heusler Th...
TiCoSb based half-Heusler compositions are of interest as p-type elements in thermoelectric waste heat recovery. We have found unexpected n-type behaviour in the title... -
Structural analysis of Li-rich layered oxides synthesized at low temperatures
This rapid access proposal is aimed at investigating the local cationic and anionic environments of a model Li-rich layered oxide, Li1.2Mn0.6Ni0.2O2 (LNMO), through neutron and... -
High-pressure studies of insensitive explosives: Nitroguanidine (NQ) and N-gu...
The aims of this proposal are to explore the high-pressure, high-temperature behaviour of two insensitive energetic materials - Nitroguanidine (NQ) and N-guanylurea-dinitramide... -
Towards the Calibration of Chemical Pressure
The application of hydrostatic pressure allows the precise tuning of atomic separations, which control electronic structure and virtually all the interatomic interactions that... -
