Probe spin excitations in heavily overdoped BaFe2-xNixAs2
Spin excitations is correlated with superconductivity in high Tc superconductors. The spin excitations in La2-xSrxCuO4 superconductors become weaker in overdoped region and... -
The structure of nanographenes in solution
In this proposal we will study the structure of metal-ammonia solutions containing single graphene sheets by exploiting H/D isotopic labelling in conjunction with NIMROD¿s... -
Local structure, dynamics and magnetism of the phases of cobalt imidazolate
This proposal concerns the metal-organic framework (MOF), cobalt imidazolate. Imidazole (im) is a small, flat organic molecule that forms slightly bent metal-im-metal linkages,... -
Spin and orbital fluctuations in MgV2O4
We propose to the measure the spin and orbital fluctuations associated with Vanadium in MgV2O4 using the MAPS direct geometry chopper spectrometer. This proposal will use the... -
Neutron spectroscopy of a series of Ruthenium triangles: a new possible route...
Most of our technology is based on the use of charge, however the electron also has another less well-understood (or exploited) property called spin. The application of this... -
Investigations of atomic and intermediate-range structure in model membranes
This proposals aims to investigate the atomic and intermediate range structure in model membrane environments. By beginning with a disperse system of a phosphocholine lipid in... -
neutron scattering analysis of automotive enamel glasses
A trial experiment is proposed to investigate the capability of wide Q-range neutron scattering techniques to probe the industrially important question of how low levels of... -
Corrosion study of antique bronze coins
The Numismatic Collection of the Kunsthistorisches Museum (KHM) Vienna has a large collection of ancient Greek bronze coins. A considerable number of these leaded bronze coins... -
In-Situ Studies of Alternative Mobile-Ions for High-Temperature Thermal Batte...
Whilst rechargeable batteries continue to take over the consumer electronics market, they are unsuitable to replace specific battery technologies, such as the thermal battery,... -
Environmental Apatites
Materials adopting the apatite structure are gaining an increasing importance as potential solid-oxide fuel cell electrolytes and for the chemical stabilisation of high level... -
The relationship between the pseudogap and magnetic excitations in La2-xSrxCuO4
This proposal is part of an ongoing project to relate the magnetic excitations to other electronic properties of the cuprate superconductors. We have recently proposed that the... -
Towards understanding hydrogen defects in perdeuterated systems
The use of deuteration to overcome the difficulties associated with the incoherent scattering from hydrogen, is a well established technique. However, there are increasing... -
Ageing of Laponite-water solutions
We require beam time on NIMROD in order to complete and continue a previous experiment (RB1010046) on Laponite - water suspensions. We have succesfully performed the experiment... -
Magnetic excitations from optimally doped BSCCO in the pseudogap phase
We plan to study the temperature dependence of magnetic excitations in the optimally doped high-Tc superconductor Bi$2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O${8+\delta}$ (BSCCO). We have previously... -
In situ diffraction studies of the archetypal network glass, SiO2 at high pre...
Silica glass is one of the most widely studies amorphous materials. It is the archetypal glass former, comprising a network of corner-shared SiO4 tetrahedra. Recently a lot of... -
Determination of the hydrogen adsorption sites for Mg and Zn formates
In the framework of the FIRENZE HYDROLAB research project(http://www.iccom.cnr.it/hydrolab/), a number of polymeric metal formates has been synthesized,with interesting... -
The search for long range exchange interactions in the S=1 square lattice ant...
Exchange interactions in insulators can be understood in terms of the Andersen exchange picture in which the Hamiltonian has two contributions: (i) a kinetic term characterized... -
Quasielastic intensity distribution and dispersion of low-energy magnetic exc...
In a number of recent experiments on the pure CeB6 compound, we have revealed strong quasielastic inten-sity in the normal (paramagnetic) state with a rich momentum-space... -
Dimensional Reduction and Frustration in the 2D Quantum Dimer Magnet BaCuSi2O6
For a decade field-tuned quantum criticality in the spin-dimer system BaCuSi2O6 has been of great interest due to an unconventional dimensional crossover at its quantum critical... -
Probing the structure of liquids above a metal-oxide interface
Simulations have demonstrated that mimicking the metal-oxide interface in porous media produces significant variations in the solvents structure over the metal and the oxide for...
