High-pressure studies of energetic co-crystals
This proposal will explore the effects of elevated pressures and temperatures on the structures of two energetic co-crystals - [CL-20:TNT] and nitroguanidine:nitropyridone.... -
Evidence for long-range order in HoTbTi2O7
Evidence of long-range order has been observed in the diffuse neutron scattering data for a single crystal of HoTbTi2O7.A spin ice like pattern and pinch points coexist with the... -
Pressure-induced structural and magnetic transitions in honeycomb ruthenate A...
Honeycomb ruthenates (Ru4+, 4d4) with strong spin-orbit coupling are expected to host unconventional magnetic ground state owing to a spin-orbital-entangled Jeff = 0 state. The... -
Phase evolution in the transition from epsilon to gamma glycine
Glycine, the simplest naturally-occurring amino acid, exhibits unusually extensive phase diversity. Three polymorphs are known under ambient conditions. Each shows different... -
Commissioning of High Temerature Furnace
The maximum operating temperature of standard ISIS furnaces with vanadium elements and shields is limited to 1000C (1100C under exceptional circumstances). The ultra... -
Muon Spin Relaxation detection of Spin-Polarized Conduction Electrons in Silicon
The proposed experiment is to observe optical spin-injection in Silicon through MuSR detection. An important part of research in next generation electronics focusses on the... -
In-situ studies of thermal electrochemical cells utilising transition metal s...
Thermal batteries are used in applications were high reliability is a key requirement. They can be stored for decades and activated in less than a second. Most contemporary... -
High-pressure studies of energetic co-crystals and salts
This proposal will explore the effects of elevated pressures and temperatures on the structures of an energetic co-crystal [CL-20:0.5 HMX] and an energetic salt containing... -
Evidence for a Diffuse Interfacial Region at the Dichloroethane/Water Interface
The 1,2- dichloroethane (DCE)/water interface is important because of its suitability as an electrochemical interface between two immiscible electrolyte soloutions. An issue of... -
Interaction of keratin with surfactants studied by SANS
This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding how keratin, an important protein component of hair and skin, interacts with ionic surfactants using... -
Framework flexibility and host-guest hydrogen bonding in the metal-organic do...
The recently reported double perovskite analogue imidazolium potassium iron(III) cyanide is noteworthy for two reasons. First, the order-disorder phase transitions, in which the... -
Alloxan - a high density organic under pressure
Organic molecular crystal structures have densities that are typically in the range 1.2-1.4 gcm-3 although these can be increased, in general, to ca. 2.0 GPa through application... -
In-Situ Studies of Electrochemically Enhanced Performance in Perovskite Elect...
Recent studies in our laboratory have shown that a range of A-site deficient perovskite oxides, with carefully tuned chemical compositions, exhibit excellent properties when... -
Formation of Ho2Ge2O7 Pyrochlore at High Temperature and Pressure
When synthesised at high pressure and temperature, holmium germanate adopts the pyrochlorestructure. Because of its geometry, materials with this structure often have exotic and... -
Does Na2Co2TeO6 realize the Kitaev model?
Preliminary data on the spin excitation spectrum of the honeycomb lattice compound Na2Co2TeO6 are consistent with the existence of Kitaev interactions, as was recently proposed... -
Kinetics of Protein Adsorption on well-characterised polymer brushes
We wish to develop a rational understanding of the mechanisms underlying the way water soluble polymer brushes - in particular those of polyethylene oxide/polyethylene glycol -... -
Pressure Tuning of Sodium Battery Materials: PART II
This is a continuation proposal to the previous study (RB. 1720418) of NaCoO2. Even if the data analysis is still under process, the result could indicate that the transition... -
Thermal expansion of H and D ice

Low Temperature Magnetic, Thermoelastic and Structural Behaviour of Antiferro...
We propose to study the low temperature structural and magnetic changes in three clinopyroxene phases FeGeO3, CaNiSi2O6 and CaCoSi2O6. All three phases order... -
Adsorption of proteins from Moringa seeds at the air/solution interface
Proteins from Moringa trees have attracted considerable interest as flocculents for water purification and possibly as materials for remediation of contaminated soil....
