High-Energy dynamics and search for a continuum in CaFe2O4
We propose to investigate the high-energy (above 10 meV) excitations using either the MERLIN or MAPS chopper instruments. CaFe2O4 is interesting for several reasons. First, it... -
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... -
The PVT equation of state of D2O ice III / IX
The high-pressure form of solid water, ice III, is the equilibrium phase in contact with liquid water at pressures from about 2.0 - 3.5 kbar. Consequently, its properties are... -
Continuation of the low-frequency fluctuations muSR study in Mn-doped La1-yYy...
The aim of the experiment is to study, in low magnetic fields, the very slow spin fluctuation (MHz range) present in the normal phase of La0.8Y0.2LaFe1-xMnxAsO0.89F0.11... -
Distribution of End-Functionalized Polymers in Semi-Crystalline Blends
Although the surface properties and self-organisation of end-functional polymers in amorphous blends are well understood, the influence of crystallinity has received little... -
Spinon Confinement and Longitudinal Interchain modes in Yb2Pt2Pb
The f-electron metal Yb2Pt2Pb is best thought of as a one dimensional (1D) quantum spin chain system, despite the fact that the magnetic moments are large and anisotropic with... -
Location of Ferromagnetism in Palladium Bionanoparticles using a Novel In Sit...
We propose to develop and carry out a novel in situ SR/electrochemical technique to identify the mechanism underlying ferromagnetism in palladium bionanoparticles. We... -
Investigation of Multiple-q states around the Quantum Critical Point of URu2S...
URu2Si2 has been examined intensively over the decades for the rich phase diagram including superconductivity, Hidden Order and multiple magnetic phases appearing around the... -
Investigating the stability and energetics of the hidden low temperature skyr...
Magnetic skyrmions are topologically protected spin structures with potential uses in low power devices. Cu2OSeO3 is a cubic material containing both skyrmions and other spin... -
Quantum critical dynamics in the presence of disorder
Quantum phase transitions are abrupt qualitative changes of a system's groundstate occurring only at exactly zero temperature. Such critical points - although never reachable... -
Determination of the Interfacial Structure of Lubricating Bottle-Brush Polyme...
Lubrication of surfaces by modification with polymer films has proven an efficient method of frictional reduction. Bio-inspired bottle-brush copolymers containing a linear block... -
Magnetic and structural dynamics in the multiple Coulomb phase CsNiCrF6
In materials with correlated disorder (i.e. not completely random nor completely ordered), new physics and functionalities can occur. Correlated disorder can be treated... -
Development of neutrons as entangled quantum probes
We recently completed an experiment on LARMOR at ISIS that proved that each individual neutron prepared for a Spin Echo Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SESANS) measurement is in...
