In recent years there has been a resurgence in research dedicated to ferroelectric materials primarily due to the combination of the requirement for Pb-free replacements for...

Crystals of the filled skutterudite PrFe4Sb12 with the 73~87% Pr-site filling fractions prepared under ambient pressure show some magnetic ordering around 5 K and their...

BiFeO3 is by far the most widely studied multiferroic material and yet many mysteries remain in the phase diagram. One mystery is the crystal structure of the high T gamma...

The applicants have recently completed a series of INS studies on a model iron Fischer-Tropsch catalyst. That work established that different sample pre-treatments could...

The recently discovered 6H-perovskite Ba3PrRu2O9 is comprised of the triangular layers formed by Pr4+ ions and the Ru2O9 dimer units located between the triangular layers. Three...

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...

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...

The aim of the experiment is to investigate the temperature evolution of the crystal structure for two transition metal oxides with low lattice thermal conductivities. This will...

We propose to investigate the low energy spin and orbital fluctuations in Bi1.7V8O16 which displays a metal to insulator transition. This work will be performed in conjunction...

Microwave dielectric ceramics are used in communications devices. Such materials need high relative permittivity, high dielectric quality factor and be temperature stable....

We propouse the study of crystal-field or vibron excitations along the series RAgxCu1-xAl3 (R=Ce and La, 0

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...

Approved proposal under the ICRD Scheme Proposal ICRD0003

Pb-based materials such as PbZrxTi1-xO3 (PZT) are widely used as transducers, actuators and sensors in a range of modern technologies due to their excellent piezoelectric and...

We seek to develop new MOFs for sensing and removal of toxic gases (e.g., SO2) and request 4 days on POLARIS to study the structural binding details and dielectric data...

Formaldehyde is an industrially important chemical (world production 32 million tonnes in 2006) currently made from methanol using an iron molybdate catalyst. Reaction occurs at...

We have recently used INS to determine how a hydrogen pre-treatment stage of an iron based Fischer-Tropsch catalyst may modify catalytic performance. That work established how...

This proposal is concerned with determining the local structure of LaCoO3 and observing changes within this as the material undergoes some well characterised temperature driven...

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...

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...
