muSR study of field-induced phases in a 1-dimensional Ising system
MV2O6 brannerites have a network structure in which chains of edge-sharing MO6 octahedra result in 1-dimensional magnetic properties. A recent study reported monoclinic CoV2O6... -
Non-equilibrium kinetics in highly interacting polymer mixtures
We seek to investigate the non-equilibrium phenomena of a model polymer mixture by time-solved SANS and temperature jump experiments within (a) one-phase region and (b) one to... -
A study of hole injection efficiency for a model conjugated bilayer system
Polymer-based electronics have attracted huge interest due to their wide applicability to light emitting diodes, field effect transistors and photovoltaics. The aim of our... -
Investigation of the dynamics within the destabilised multi-component hydroge...
There is great interest in destabilised multicomponent hydrogen storage materials as this allows the reduction of the temperature of dehydrogenation while maintaining a... -
Structural and magnetic neutron diffraction study of a novel frustrated syste...
Every new triangular lattice (TL) antiferromagnet attracts considerable attention since they usually display rich physics due to the inherent frustration and degenerate ground... -
Inelastic neutron scattering study of the antiferromagnetic triangular system...
We propose to study the temperature dependence of the inelastic response of BaCoO3. This system gives the experimental evidence of a new partially disordered antiferromagnetic... -
Combined imaging and diffraction studies of Renaissance bronzes
Neutron tomography and neutron diffraction are ideal to study technical and art-historical aspects of Renaisaance bronze casting in a complety non-destructive way. A series of... -
RF decoupling of the F-mu-F state
NMR has become an extremely sophisticated experimental technique because of the use of pulse sequences which allow the control and manipulation of a nuclear spin system or... -
Characterisation of superalloys strengthened by Co3Ti
One method by which the efficiency of gas turbine engines may be improved is by increasing the gas stream temperature on entry to the turbine. Currently this temperature is... -
Muon spin relaxation study of a novel frustrated system: Li7RuO6
Every new triangular lattice (TL) antiferromagnet attracts considerable attention since they usually display rich physics due to the inherent frustration and degenerate ground... -
Cryopreservation in biological systems: glutamine as a model system to study ...
Many living organisms have developed mechanisms that protect them from extremeenvironmental stresses such as freezing and pressure. One common mechanism involvesaccumulation of... -

Polymer-based electronics have attracted huge interest due to their wide applicability to light emitting diodes, field effect transistors and photovoltaics. The aim of our... -
Determination of the detection limits and quantitative analysis reliability o...
Neutron diffraction offers one of the most interesting and meaningful methods for non destructive quantitative determination of the phase composition of materials. However, it... -
Copy of: Abiogenic origin of methane: a neutron diffraction study
It has recently be demonstrated, through diamond-anvil cell experiments, that it may be possible for methane to be formed within the inner Earth through transformation reactions... -
Magnetic structure of the 1D spin chain system: Sr3NiRhO6
The spin-chain systems with general formula A¿3ABO6, crystallizing in the K4CdCl6 (space group R -3 c) type structure has started attracting a lot attention in recent years due... -
Neutron scattering and muSR studies of magnetic phenomena in YFe2Al10: case s...
In strongly correlated electron systems, the proximity to magnetic ordering has been of special interest. Magnetism in this class of systems is often suppressed by the Kondo... -
Conformation of HEC/Colloid system under Shear
Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) is commonly used as a viscosity modifier in many chemical systems, from paints to cement. HEC forms a physical gel in water due to the presence of... -
In-situ high-resolution study of the Pd-D2 system after passage over the ther...
Our previous HRPD experiment on the Pd-D2 system resolved the long-standing controversy over the occupation of T interstitial sites by D, showing that T sites are occupied owing... -
Spin fluctuations in heavy fermion system
A study of the ground state of the Ce5Rh4Sn10 is proposed. Compound belongs to the heavy fermion system with two magnetic phase transitions at 1.4 K and 4.3 K. While the... -
Searching for magnetic ordering and spin-gapped behavior in the first S = 1 ¿...
We propose to explore the spin dynamics in LiNiVO4, a system which we believe is a previously unobserved realization of a random distribution of 1D antiferromagnetic Heisenberg...
