The isostructural compounds ACuTe2O6 (A=Sr, Pb) consist of a 3-dimensional arrangement of spin-1/2 Cu ions. There are 3 potentially strong interactions, the first neighbor...

We have initiated a new research programme that seeks to correlate features of the crystal structures of energetic materials (explosives, propellants) with their sensitivities...

Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a powerful chemometric tool for the analysis of multivariate datasets. Capitalising from the recent upgrade of the TOSCA spectrometer, we...

The physisorptive capability of graphite-based nanomaterials for hydrogen is strongly dependent on their surface areas and nanomorphologies. We have made electrospun graphite...

This is a proposal to measure the magnetic spectrum of single crystal La2-xBaxCoO4 for the first time. The isostructural layered cobaltates with Sr and Ca instead of Ba have...

Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) contains numerous phenolic components with well recognised health-beneficial properties, namely high antioxidant capacity. These characteristics...

The discovery of unconventional superconductivity (SC) in several heavy fermion (HF) compounds has attracted considerable attention. Recently we have investigated CeTSi3 (T=Rh...

Traditional high-temperature synthesis techniques can be used to vary the composition of K{1-x}Fe{2-y}Se2 up to certain limits. We have found a way to extend the limits on the K...

We plan to continue inelastic neutron scattering measurements on the high Tc cuprate superconductor BSCCO with optimum doping. In the proposed experiment, we will have about 40...

Inelastic neutron scattering has been used to study adsorbed species on catalysts for more than 30 years. All of this work has one feature in common: they are all ¿snapshots¿ of...

Graphene is defined as a: ‘single layer of carbon atoms with each atom bound to three neighbours in a honeycomb structure’. This suggests that in a macroscopic, manageable...

In this proposal we aim to study low temperature structure of hydrogen in the interlayer region of partially hydrated pillared clays. There are linked dual motivations for this...

We find unusual antiferromagnetic order in Cu heavily overdoped BaFeCuAs2 with the order wave vector at (0.5 0.5 1). This anitiferromagnetic signal cannot come from the parent...

We will exploit the powerful and unique capability of NIMROD to follow in a time-resolving manner the crystallisation of polyethyleneoxide (PEO). There are three key length...

Fluidised Catalytic Cracking (FCC) units (shown below) are one of the major conversion units in modern petrochemical refineries. ZSM-5 additives. These are used in FCC units to...

The MIL DimimFeCl4 displays 3D antiferromagnetic ordering below 5.6K. The crystal structure at 10 K, solved by synchrotron XRPD, NPD and DFT calculations shows that it...

Recent advances in energy materials have led to the development of high capacity insertion cathodes for Li-ion batteries. A relatively new, yet attractive material is nickel...

Silicon is currently the base of all modern electronics and advanced computing. One route to future advanced computing called spintronics exploits the energy saving and quantum...

Neutron scattering is one of the few experimental techniques that can directly determine the state of confined H2 molecules in microporous solids. Recent inelastic neutron...

The proposing team has recently obtained important neutron scattering results on samples containing molecular hydrogen (sII and sH hydrogen-filled clathrate hydrates), measured...
