Magnetic structure of new manganite TlMnO3
Recently synthesized new perovskite TlMnO3 is distinct in respect of crystal structure (space group) and orbital ordering from those of the previously known trivalent perovskite... -
Possible Spin-Pierls transition in double-perovskite Ca2InOsO6
Osmates in the perovskite-like structure are very topical. For example, recent discoveries include Slater transitions, and "ferroelectric-like" structural transitions. These... -
MuSR study of Na battery electrodes
The overall aims of our project is to advance the performance of NIBs in terms of energy and power density by creating a closed-loop approach for materials design,... -
Surfactant and Polymer Adsorption on Pyrite Thin Films
Pyrite (FeS2) is a hydrophobic mineral surface, i.e. of a type thus far inaccessible to the types of aqueous adsorption experiments suitable for study by reflectometry (NR), but... -
Evolution of long-range magnetic order in [Ni(HF2)(pyrazine)2]X (X = PF6 , Sb...
Antiferromagnetic S = 1 one-dimensional chains exhibit a myriad of magnetic ground states depending on the balance between the spin exchange parameter and the single-ion... -
HEAT-INDUCED CHANGES IN HUMAN BONE PROBED BY NEUTRON VIBRATIONAL SPECTROSCOPY
Neutron vibrational spectroscopy is applied to the study of burned human skeletal remains, as an innovative way of tackling heat-induced changes in human bone, which will have a... -
Magnetic and crystal structures of substituted BiFeO3 from high resolution ne...
The multiferroic perovskite BiFeO3 is the only material that displays both ferroelectric and antiferromagnetic order at RT. Significant efforts are aimed at better understanding... -
Thermal fluctuations of cold shock proteins from different flavours of extrem...
Extremophiles are organisms which survive and thrive in extreme environments. The proteins from extremophilic organisms have received considerable attention as they are... -
Dynamics of a New and High Performance Proton Conductor ZnADP.3H2O
We propose to measure the dynamics in ZnADP¿3H2O, a new and high performance material that exhibits proton conductivity as high as Nafion membranes, which is the best commercial... -
Water dynamics in dental zinc cement by quasi-elastic neutron scattering
Zinc phosphate cements (ZPCs) are used in dentistry. Cement formulation (liquid+solid) is largely empirical because of lack of information on the exact chemical nature of the... -
A deeper insight into the structural dynamics of MgCl2 materials for catalyti...
In our previous experiment (1810419), we have demonstrated that INS spectra of MgCl2-based samples can be successfully recorded at TOSCA Instrument, even in absence of hydrogen... -
Reentrant Structural Transitions and Collapse of Charge and Orbital Orders in...
A-site ordered quadruple perovskites, AA3B4O12, show many interesting physical and chemical properties, for example, inter-site charge transfer and disproportionation, giant... -
QENS on Lightweight Borohydrides
We propose to study two aspects of the hydrogen dynamics in complex hydrides:First: The structural transitions in borohydrides are believed to be connected with an increase in... -
Investigation of magnetic structures and ion diffusion in layered honeycomb a...
The layered ternary oxide system has been intensively studied in the past as it exhibits various remarkable properties, such as its electrochemical behavior as positive... -
Investigation of Bose-Einstein condensation of magnons through temperature-fi...
YbAl3C3 exhibits a spin gap formation due to spin dimer ground state below 10 K. In zero-field the ground state is paramagnetic and no sign of long range magnetic ordering down... -
Inelastic neutron scattering investigations of the high temperature phase tra...
Recently it has been reported that YbAl3C3 undergoes an antiferromagnetic quadrupolar ordering transition at 80 K, Further study by Ochiai et al. revealed that the transition at... -
The molecule state in the molecularly doped metals
Inelastic neutron scattering (INS) spectroscopy is an ideal technique for studying the interaction of a metal with ligands because the metal is essentially invisible to neutrons... -
