Ba2LuMoO6 is a rare example of an s = ½ undistorted fcc frustrated system, which displays no magnetic order above T = 2 K, and thus is an excellent experimental realisation of a...

Like the well known perovskites, the double perovskites A2BB'O6 form an enormous family of compounds exhibiting a wealth of phenomena ranging from magnetic long range order,...

Metal oxides(MO) are widely used in technological applications especially for catalysts and supports for catalysts. We propose to use the inelastic response of H2 adsorbed on...

We request 3 days’ beam time on POLARIS for in-situ powder diffraction studies of the reactions of lithium amide or lithium imide with manganese(IV) oxide under flowing argon or...

One fundamental issue in the iron-based superconductors is whether the conventional local moment Heisenberg model is sufficient to describe magnetism in these materials, or...

Materials with incommensurate structures often show exotic properties (such as charge density waves). The development of reliable and efficient refinement techniques for such...

Honeycomb magnets with strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) are expect to produce exotic magnetic ground states as exemplified by d5 iridates with Jeff = 1/2 state. In d4 case, SOC...

Ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMAs) are of recent interest because they exhibit a shapememory effect that can be driven by magnetic fields. Thus, FSMAs are important for...

The vibrational spectrum of C70 has been investigated by many techniques since it became available in significcant quantities. Previous INS spectra were recorded with small...

Much effort has been devoted to the research of new NTE materials and the understanding of the mechanism driving this phenomenon. As part of our ERC grant on ‘orbital...

Novel oxide ceramics with high values of lithium-ion conductivity at ambient temperatures are required as an essential part of the development of new lithium battery...

We will use off-specular reflectivity to probe the characteristic lateral length-scales in responsive polyelectrolyte brushes grown by surface-initiated ATRP from solid-liquid...

Tetragonal tungsten bronzes have three types of channels for ions with the smallest unusually occupied with Li in potassium lithium tantalate (KLT). This creates complexity...

The proteins of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria are critical for bacterial survival, from providing basic physiological functions, to impairing virulence and...

The concept of an aristotype, or equivalently, the basic structure, that represents the highest symmetry crystal structure that can be attained, either experimentally, or...

Understanding the magnetic exchange coupling and fundamental Hamiltonian of the parent compound of FeAs-based superconductors is extremely important, because such information...

Soft self-assembled structures have been extensively used as drug nanocarriers. Their building blocks, naturally occurring and synthetic amphiphiles (lipids or block...

Apatites are a large group of chemically and structurally flexible functional materials with important applications as solid electrolytes. The majority of known apatite...

Electrode materials for devices such as solid oxide fuel cells must be catalytically active and good ionic and electronic conductors. In particular, recent work in our...

A better understanding of the magnetic excitation spectrum of LuFe2O4 is required to refine current models of the magnetoelectric coupling in this novel "electronic"...
