The characterization of the atomic structure of disordered systems, such as amorphous, glasses and (bio)molecule in solution, is a fundamental step for most theoretical...

Induced magnetic order in nominally non-magnetic materials due to the effect of proximity to magnetically ordered materials is a subject of great interest. There has been quite...

We want to better understand the intermolecular interactions in deuterated triglycine sulphate (DTGS). DTGS is a hydrogen bonded ferroelectric with a second-order, order...

It is particularly challenging to synthesize a novel multiferroic material as it seems that the mechanisms that allow ferromagnets and ferroelectrics to work are mutually...

We request three days of beam-time on POLARIS to investigate the influence of thermally-induced twinning on the thermal expansion behaviour of polycrystalline calcite....

We propose to study the high temperature structure of TiOCl where a pressure induced metal to insulator transition has been reported recently by Kuntscher et al.Due to our...

CeAuAl3 and CeCuAl3 compounds crystallize in the tetragonal I4mm, BaNiSn3-type and display interesting bulk properties. Here we propose to investigate the magnetic structures of...

This proposal aims to probe the quadrupolar order believed to exist in the heavy fermion compound Ce3Pd20Si6 (CPS). Two phase transitions have been uncovered (in zero applied...

We wish to investigate the pH-dependence of the strong interfacial interaction of 1,2-Dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) with poly(silicic) acid at the air-water...

Mixtures of methanol with water and ammonia dominate the chemistry of cometary bodies, leftovers of the building blocks of the outer planets. We have previously determined the...

We propose to investigate the spin dynamics in the Ortho-II order YBCO6.5 superconductor at energies above 100 meV. This study will be aimed at searching for the broadening of...

During the course of a PhD project funded by CCLRC's CMPC, we have developed a cell that allows electrical transport property measurements to be made simultaneously with the...

By polarized neutron reflectometry we want to investigate the magnetic field profile in Y(1-x)PrxBa2Cu3O7/La(2/3)Ca(1/3)MnO3 high-Tc superconductor/ferromagnet superlattices. In...

This proposal is a continued exploration of the non-recoverable changes that have been reported in the structure of vitreous SiO2 when compressed. This proposed experiment will...

The one dimensional material In2VO5 contains frustrated zigzag chains of corner sharing V 4+ (S = 1/2) square based pyramids interspersed with sheets of edge sharing InO6...

Stabilised bismuth oxides are of interest as intermediate temperature solid electrolytes for a variety of electrochemical device applications. Lead doping into bismuth yttrate...

In this proposal we wish to continue our current work on mesostructured inorganic films in largely ethanolic solutions, containing limited amounts of water. Transition metal...

This proposal is part of our research programme on novel quantum phases in frustrated lattices. Here we propose to determine the magnetic structure in a quasi-two-dimensional...

The aim of this proposal is to study the field induced magnetically ordered phase of the quasi 1D spin system copper nitrate. We plan to study the integrated intensities of the...

The concept of an electronic nematic, in which the electronic wavefunctions have different symmetry to the crystal structure, has been proposed to explain several unusual...
