The mobility of ions in molten nitrates
This proposal is a continuation of a study of molten salts which have a large number of applications, including applications in fuel cells and, in the case of nitrates, as... -
Oxygen kinetic energy and momentum distribution in light and heavy water acro...
Nuclear quantum effects in water arise from the noncommutative character of momentum and position, which in turn is related to the potential energy surface onto which the atoms... -
Probing the mechanism of thermoelectric enhancement in Kondo insulator YbB12 ...
We propose to study the evolution of the spectral features in the dynamical magnetic response in series Yb_{1-x}Tm_{x}B_{12} (x=0.15, 0.6, 0.8). Tm doping results in non-trivial... -
Rotational dynamics in the ferroelectric and giant barocaloric (NH4)2SO4
Barocaloric materials, in which a large isothermal entropy change is associated with a pressure induced phase transition, offer an alternative to vapour-compression technologies... -
Incommensurate-commensurate phase transitions in K2SeO4
Materials with incommensurate structures often show exotic properties (such as charge density waves). The development of reliable and efficient refinement techniques for such... -
Investigation of the new spin-ladder compound MgCu2O3
Here we propose to investigate the excitation spectrum of the new spin-ladder compound MgCu2O3. Unlike typical spin-ladders this compound has a rung coupling that is much weaker... -
Variable Temperature Studies of the Novel Multiferroic Tetragonal Tungsten Br...
Recently there has been a renaissance in the investigation of materials which simultaneously exhibit magnetic and electric ordering with these materials expected to find... -
Structural relaxation in LiCl 6D2O
We propose to measure the structural relaxation in this prototype glass former. The structural ralaxation time will be obtained at the structure factor maximum. We suppose that... -
Magnetic Properties of Rare-Earth Carbonates
We have prepared a new family of rare-earth carbonates, R4(CO3)6(H2O)2en (R=Dy-Lu). With the exception of R=Er, all materials exhibit a steadily decreasing meff below 70K. The... -

Comparison of H and D diffusion rates in micron-scale palladium
There is currently considerable interest in the use of micron scale palladium powder for the separation of hydrogen isotopes ¿ e.g. tritium extraction in connection with fuel... -
The study of spin excitations in superconducting LiFeAs
The spin excitations in superconducting LiFeAs have been found evolved from incommensurate peaks to commensurate peak at low energy. But the spin resonance is still not clear in... -
Inelastic Spectroscopy of the Mobile Phase of Ammonia Borane
Ammonia borane (AB) is one of the most promising hydrogen storage materials. There has recently been work on a more mobile phase of AB (denoted AB*) which is formed (via the... -
Unravelling spin fluctuation components in a stripe-ordered cuprate
In previous experiments at ILL we observed a gap in the magnetic excitation spectrum of the stripe-ordered superconductor (La,Nd)2-xSrxCuO4, x=0.12. We observed a spin gap of... -
Magnetic properties of photomagnetic molecular square complexes
This experiment aims at studying the magnetic behaviour of the molecular square complex {[Fe{B(pz)_4}(CN)_3]_2[Co(bik)_2]_2}(ClO_4)_2 . 3H_2O [B(pz)_4 = tetrapyrazolylborate,... -
Lithium titanium niobium oxides for battery electrodes
This proposal is part of a lithium ion battery research project for finding new anode materials. The redox couples Ti4+/Ti3+ and Nb5+/Nb4+ in titanium and niobium oxides show a... -
Study of phonon density of states in PGEC titanate thermoelectrics
To understand the thermal conductivity suppression within PGEC titanate oxide thermoelectrics we hope to complement theoretical calculations performed on several perovskites... -
Phase Separation and Jahn Teller Distortion in Molybdate Perovskites
Two days of beamtime on HRPD will be used to examine a family of double perovskites Sr2YbMO6 that are isostructural at room temperature. When M = Mo5+ the monoclinic perovskite... -
Magneto-elasticity, metamagnetism and the magnetic cooling potential of Fe2P-...
We wish to trace the changes in lattice parameters and atomic coordinates around the first and second order Curie transitions of Fe2P and boron (11B)-doped Fe2P0.95,B0.05... -
Dirac Point and Topological Triplon Bands in the Shastry-Sutherland Material ...
SrCu$_2$(BO$_3$)$_2$ (SCBO) is a very much studied quantum magnet that is most well known for its ground state of coupled singlets and multiple magnetization plateaux. Recently,...
