Simltaneous dielectric spectroscopy and neutron diffraction
We have constructed a novel microwave frequency resonator that can sit within the GEM and POLARIS diffractometers and will allow us to simultaneously collect diffraction and... -
Low temperature phases of WO3 a reinvestigation
WO3 is an important technological material with wide usage in gas-sensing devices but its low temperature phases are still mysterious. There are conflicting reports in the... -
Formation and ammonia decomposition behaviour of lithium nitride hydride
Ammonia is seen as a key part of the transition to a sustainable energy economy, but needs decomposition catalysts to release its stored hydrogen. Lithium nitride-hydride... -
Crystal and magnetic structures of mixed-valent V2OPO4
The electronic states of transition metal oxides usually result from a coupling between the three degrees of freedom: charge, orbital and spin states. When metal-metal distances... -

Magnetic and Quadrupolar Excitations in 5d based Double Perovskites Ba2BOsO6 ...
Like the well known perovskites, the double perovskites A2BB'O6 form an enormous family of compounds exhibiting a wealth of phenomena ranging from magnetic long range order,... -
In-situ reaction of lithium amide or imide with manganese(IV) oxide
We request 3 days beam time on POLARIS for in-situ powder diffraction studies of the reactions of lithium amide or lithium imide with manganese(IV) oxide under flowing argon or... -
Incommensurate-commensurate phase transitions in K2SeO4
Materials with incommensurate structures often show exotic properties (such as charge density waves). The development of reliable and efficient refinement techniques for such... -
Ionic mobility in soggy sand electrolytes
Ionic liquids (ILs) are gaining increased interest as electrolytes given their thermal and chemical stability, wide electrochemical windows, and ionic conductivities. However,... -
Methyl iodide (CH3I) removal using high-surface area activated carbons: moist...
During the operation of nuclear plants, several fission products are released. Among them, radioiodine is considered one of the most important due to its tendency to form... -
Spin dynamics on the frustrated Fe7 molecular cluster
Fe7 is a magnetic cluster formed by two Fe(III) triangles bridged together by a Fe(III) ion. The antiferromagnetic exchange interaction within the two triangles makes the system... -
Rotational dynamics in the ferroelectric and giant barocaloric (NH4)2SO4
Barocaloric materials, in which a large isothermal entropy change is associated with a pressure induced phase transition, offer an alternative to vapour-compression technologies... -
Quantum critical points in relaxor-type ferroelectric tetragonal tungsten bro...
Quantum Critical Points in ferroelectrics, where the transition temperature is very near absolute zero, are of significant current interest, with publications in Nature-family... -
Understanding of Competing Magnetic Processes in La0.7Sr0.3MnxFe1-xO3 Perovskite
The aim of this experiment is to complete the understanding of the complex nature of the structural and magnetic interactions in the La0.7Sr0.3Mn1-xFexO3 series of materials in... -
Phase retrieval for non-trivial systems
Neutron reflectometry (NR) is a very powerful technique for the study of thin layers. It is able to measure composition, thickness and roughness and is a very penetrating... -
Deuteration-induced phase transition in a multiferroic framework material
The hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites are of great interest as functional materials, because they combine the well-established perovskite topology with new physics and... -
Magnetism and structure of Mn2FeRuO6
Magnetoelectric materials, combining properties associated with magnetic and ferroelectric memory applications (e.g. in hard drives) are difficult to prepare but would represent... -
Spin-waves in GdPtBi
In the proposed experiment we intend to resolve the spin waves in GdPtBi, which is an outstanding representative of a novel class of magnets - topological antiferromagnets. In... -
Quenched salt hydrates new ways of probing water clusters.
Very rapid quenching of liquids to form a glass, from which crystalline phases are subsequently obtained by devitrification, is a powerful technique for obtaining novel... -
Understanding Structural Changes in Amorphous Solid Water (ASW) on Heating
This experiment will establish the structural changes that occur in Amorphous Solid Water (ASW) prior to the process of pore collapse or crystallisation. We will study the...
