Cascading magnetization plateaus in monoclinic CoV2O6
The aim of this proposal is to understand the origin of the cascade of magnetisation plateaus in monoclinic CoV2O6. While 1/3 plateaus have been reported in the literature,... -
High temperature fatigue loading of Zr-2
Zircaloy-2 and its almost identical sister alloy Zr-4 are used extensively as fuel cladding, as well as other components in nuclear power reactors where it operates at 250-350C... -
High-Resolution High-Pressure Study of the Elpasolite Perovskite La2NiMnO6
This proposal sets out to investigate the high pressure behaviour of the double perovskitematerial with the chemical formula La2NiMnO6. The properties of this and related... -
Reduced Residual Stresses In Multipass Welds Using Low Transformation Tempera...
The aim of this experiment is to characterise the residual stresses that evolve as a multiple pass weld is built up, while exploiting transformation plasticity due to specially... -
Investigation of the Dynamic Mechanism of Reflectin Color Change by QENS
Reflectin, so named because of its high refractive index, is a protein expressed exclusively in cephalopods and forms reflectors responsible for dynamic iridescence and... -
A Self-consistent Description of the Thermoelastic Properties of Dielectric P...
20 years ago, Anderson proposed that the thermoelastic properties of the dominant (mantle) phase within the Earth, MgSiO3 perovskite, could be described as a simple Debye solid.... -
Magnetic and Nuclear Structures of Low-dimensional Antiferromagnet K(1-δ...
In 2010 several groups showed that iron selenide, already a superconductor at 8 K, could be charged with alkali cations leading to higher critical temperatures. These compounds... -
SESANS of beetle scales and butterfly wings
Neutron scattering and in particular SESANS is able to give us excellent ensemble averaging of the optical properties of materials which exhibit structural colour. We plan to... -
Two-Dimensional Triangular Mott Insulator
The 1T polytype of the transition-metal dichalchogenide TaS2 is a system with a very rich phase diagram. Upon cooling down, the crystal goes through a series of charge density... -
Microstructural characterization of Etruscan mirrors
The present proposal concerns the archaemetallurgical investigation of Etruscan mirrors. TOF-ND, NRCA and transmission measurements (Bragg edge) will be carried out on INES in... -
Inelastic neutron scattering study on the one dimensional magnetic systems Ba...
Most of the one dimensional spin chain compounds are antiferromagnetic with a rich magnetic phase diagram due to the magnetic frustration. We have synthesized Ba3CrS5 and... -
Residual stresses in bonded crack retarders containing fasteners
Bonded crack retarders are a novel technology for providing improved damage tolerance in aerospace structures. They can be applied either where mechanical fastening is being... -
Spin excitations in the pseudogap region of YBCO6.5 Ortho-II Superconductor
We propose to investigate the spin dynamics in the Ortho-II order YBCO6.5 superconductor at energies above 100 meV. This study will be aimed at searching for the broadening of... -
Magnetic structure of pyrochlore irridate Y2Ir2O7
We propose to study by powder neutron diffraction the ordered magnetic state of the pyrochlore compound Y2Ir2O7. There is currently an increasing interest in the condensed... -
Dynamics of Polymer Rings
This proposal is part of our research efforts aimed at the understanding of the static and dynamic properties of cyclic polymers and their comparison to linear chains. Previous... -
Does spinodal dewetting proceed by peristalsis?
We shall demonstrate the use of neutron reflectometry to obtain three-dimensional structures in a non-invasive experiment. Spinodal dewetting is one of the few areas where... -

Relating plastic deformation to angle dependent IGS for multiple hkl peaks
For some engineering purposes like welding or SCC where IGS (Inter Granular Stresses) increase susceptibility to cracking, some indicator of the level of plastic deformation... -
High-p/T setup and Anvil Material Testing
We request 6 days commissioning time be allocated on PEARL for the on-line testing of new high-p/T furnace setups and new anvil materials. -
Residual Stress Mapping of Friction Stir Welded 6063 Aluminum Pipe Butt Joint
The joining of aluminum is commonly performed by arc welding technique which easily induces severe weld defects and distortion. The friction stir welding (FSW) technique offers...
