The development of new functional metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is receiving considerable attention worldwide owing to their potential for gas storage, ionic conductivity, and...

ZSM-5 zeolites are used as additives in Fluidised Catalytic Cracking (FCC) units to increase the yield of LPG alkenes by conversion of gasoline-range hydrocarbons, forming a key...

The full strength of the VESUVIO+ beamline on the Target Station 1 (TS1) will be exploited to globally tackle the local phenomenon of the tuneable thermal expansion in two...

Producing meat analogue instead of real meat is one effective way to reduce carbon emissions and improve animal welfare. Calcium caseinate (CaCas) is a prominent candidate for...

The relationship between spin fluctuations and superconductivity is of paramount importance in understanding the iron-based superconductors. We have recently investigated the...

We investigated the influence of sulfur on a well-known methanation catalyst, nickel on alumina/silica, so as to gain more information about sulfur poisoning. By different...

Amorphous molecular magnetic materials Ni2(OA) (OA:organic acceptor) were reported to exhibit ferromagnetism with Curie temperatures >400K. This work is controversial as it...

Alkali metals are well-known to form regularly-layered graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) which exhibit a number of novel and practically important structural and...

Quite recently, the high thermoelectric performance has been reported in the MgAgSb-based half Heusler alloys. The ZT values close to 1 at room temperature with a maximum of ZT...

We wish to measure the magnetic excitations and subgap states in a doped (x=0.06) spin ladder using MERLIN. The purpose of the measurements is to ascertain the relationship...

The orthorhombic compound Ba4Ru3O10 having Ru3O12 timers coupled via corner-shared oxygens in the crystal structure exhibits very interesting magnetic and transport properties....

High sorption capacities and enhanced interaction strengths are the two most fundamental prerequisites for the deployment of carbon-based materials as hydrogen-storage media. In...

Organic-inorganic perovskites have recently been shown to be potentially efficient and inexpensive photovoltaics. These materials undergo a series of structural transitions and...

Faster-than-expected ageing is observed in some seeds (e.g. orchids, coffee, citrus, willows) stored dry at -20°C, the standard temperatures of seed banks. This ageing has been...

The mixed-valence sesquioxides A4O6 (A = alkali metal) are particularly intriguing magneticmaterials comprising of non-magnetic (O2)2- and magnetic (O2)- anions. Recent...

One of the main goals of the research in Molecular Magnetism is to increase the blocking temperature TB of Single-Molecule Magnets (SMMs). A significant breakthrough was...

SMMs have received much attention owing to their quantum tunneling and slow relaxation of the magnetization. This has led to an intense activity by synthetic chemists to...

Methylammonium lead iodide has recently been recognised as an excellent photovoltaic material, with energy conversion efficient of up to 15% with the prospect of gaining higher...

We propose to investigate the spin dynamics in the frustrated antiferromagnet beta-CaCr2O4. Its structure consist in one dimensional chains of Cr+3 forming the legs of zig-zag...

The series of spinel ferrites, RFe2O4 has attracted the community for the similar structural and physical properties of magnetite (Fe3O4). Analogous to Fe3O4, NiFe2O4 recently...
