Crystallization of clathrate hydrates from amorphous THF-water solutions
Understanding clathrate hydrate formation and stability is an urgent issue due to their environmental importance. However, a fundamental understanding of the molecular processes... -
Search for antiferromagnetic coupling in ferromagnetic oxide LSMO-LCMO multil...
La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 (LCMO) and La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSMO) are two oxide ferromagnetic materials. They will be grown on single crystal SrTiO3 substrate. This allows a highly textured... -
Total scattering study of the II to I phase transition in pyridine
Atomistic characterisation of phase transitions in organic materials is important because of the role played by polymorphism in pharmaceuticals and agochemicals. Conventional... -
Phase Transitions and Orbital Ordering in SrRu1-xCuxO3.
This proposal seeks to establish the importance of orbital ordering on the stability of the tetragonal phase in Cu doped SrRiuO3. Orbital ordering is believed to be a... -

Using quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) we will investigate the intercalation of Ciprofloxacin (CIPRO) into the synthetic clay Lithium Fluorohectorite (LiFh) to... -
Order and disorder in (Mn,Fe)2(P,Si) magnetocaloric compounds
In the high-performance and low-cost (Mn,Fe)2(P,Si) magnetocaloric compounds, the detrimental hysteresis has been significantly reduced by balancing Mn:Fe and P:Si ratios, which... -
Magnetic properties of quadruple perovskites containing A- and B-site iron ca...
New quadruple perovskites with nominal compositions LnFe4Ti3O12 (Ln = La, Nd) have recently been discovered through high pressure synthesis. Mössbauer spectra show that these... -
Influence of superstructures on rich transport properties of lithium cobaltate
In the vicinity of x ~ 0.75, LixCoO2 has potential as a thermoelectric, since it has a high Seebeck coefficient and metallic conductivity. We have performed the first successful... -
Local structure of the ferroelectric and giant barocaloric (ND4)2SO4
Ammonium sulfate has a well-known order-disorder phase transition at -50 ºC: initially of interest for the ferroelectric behaviour in the low-temperature phase, this has... -
Magnetic excitations in mesoporous hematite
We have recently prepared mesoporous forms of various metals oxides. In some cases the imposition of a mesostructure changes other properties of the material significantly. One... -
