Hydrogen disorder in benzoic acid
In a previous experiment on VESUVIO (RB 1520359) we aimed at investigating para-iodo-benzoic acid (IBA), in particular the onset in temperature for the appearance of the... -
Neutron scattering study of a triangular-lattice NaYbO2: a quantum spin liqui...
The Quantum spin liquid (QSL) state continues to fascinate the condensed matter community. This is because the spins in a QSL are highly entangled and fluctuate strongly down to... -
Magnetic phase diagram of multiferroic GdMn2O5
In the last five years, we have carried out a comprehensive study of the family of REMn2O5 multiferroics by neutron and X-ray magnetic scattering, providing details about the... -
One- and multi-magnon excitations in a strong-leg quantum spin ladder
We propose to measure the one- and multi-magnon excitations in the first realization of a S=1/2 quantum spin ladder in the strong-leg regime. Our material, DIMPY, has very well... -
An abiotic analogue of methane monooxygenase for the catalytic oxidation of h...
We request 3 days Direct Access on TOSCA to complete the INS measurements of our previous experiment 1610254. We want to characterise the vibrational signatures of a new... -
Low-dimensional glasses: Effect of occupational site disorder in the excess o...
The present scientific case concerns a glass-forming system with even less degrees of freedom, namely the occupational disorder of high-temperature phase (I, P21/c) of... -
Li(MeNH2)4: Poor Metal, Worse Metal, and Magnet
We request 2 days on GEM to determine the structure of crystalline Li(MeNH2)4: we will be preparing the fully deuterated analogue. Our investigations into the magnetic state of... -
Incipient magnetic frustration in a metal organic-framework with windmill lat...
The aim of the proposed experiment is to use single-crystal neutron magnetic scattering experiments to study spin correlations in the correlated paramagnet regime of a chiral... -
Magnetic ordering in the frustrated honeycomb antiferromagnet Li2IrO3
This proposal is part of our research programme to explore novel ground states in frustrated quantum magnets. Strong spin-orbit coupling is predicted to stabilize composite... -
Dynamics of Water on Surface of Reverse Osmotic Membranes
We are proposing 10 days of beamtime on IRIS to investigate the diffusion process of H2O molecules adsorbed on polyamide, surface material of reverse osmotic membranes currently... -
Ferroelectric transitions in potentially multiferroic Mn-formate frameworks
The perovskite-like family of ammonium formate frameworks AB(HCO2)3, where A is a divalent metal ion and B is an (alkyl)ammonium or guanadinium, is of great interest for its... -
Phonon Dispersion in the Organic Ferroelectric Croconic Acid
Organic ferroelectrics are important materials because of their technological applications in low-cost non-volatile memory elements. Single-crystal croconic acid (C5O5H2) is the... -
Chemical control of structures and magnetic ordering of cobalt oxide chalcoge...
The response of the magnetic ordering of layered cobalt oxide chalcogenides to changes in electron count will be investigated in detail following a preliminary experiment at... -
Auger recombination in low temperature silicon measured by photo-MuSR technique
We measure electron-hole recombination rate in low-temperature pure silicon using the photo-MuSR technique. The previous works have measured the recombination rate down to -30... -
Neutron diffraction study of some Mn-Ni-Ge based magnetic equiatomic alloys
Magnetic equiatomic alloys (MEAs) of the general formula MM'X (M, M' = transition metals, X = Si, Ge, Sn) undergo magnetostructural transition of martensitic type on cooling... -
Crystal structures and magnetic order in metal/ammonia intercalates of FeSe
This is a proposal to determine the magnetic structures of the Rb/NH3 and K/NH3 intercalates of FeSe. These compounds exhibit superconductivity when freshly prepared, but... -
Magnetic properties of photomagnetic molecular square complexes
This experiment aims at studying the magnetic behaviour of the molecular square complex {[Fe{B(pz)_4}(CN)_3]_2[Co(bik)_2]_2}(ClO_4)_2 . 3H_2O [B(pz)_4 = tetrapyrazolylborate,... -
Structural investigation of a possible magnetically-induced Weyl semi-metal
One of the major themes in solid-state physics is the realisation of exotic types of relativistic electrons which travel at speeds much slower than the speed of light. These... -
Inelastic Neutron Scattering study on new tetragonal compound Ce2PdGe3
Cerium-based Kondo lattice compounds have received great attention, owing mostly to the variety of exotic ground states that they exhibit (e.g., unconventional... -
Investigation of the relevant thermodynamic parameters for the production of ...
With fantastic flux gains over its liquid conterpart, a solid methane moderator is essential to the newly built Second Target Station at ISIS. Unfortunately, it is notoriously...
