We wish to better understand the interaction between alkali and alkaline earth modifiers within the tellurite glass network by measuring neutron correlation functions, T(r)s,...

In recent studies, we have found that imidazolium magnetic ionic liquid based on tetrahaloferrate anions display very interesting magnetic and dynamic phenomena (highlight ILL...

Most of our technology is based on the use of charge, however the electron also has another less well-understood (or exploited) property called spin. The application of this...

One goal of our research into the nanoengineering of molecular magnets is a detailed understanding of the relationship between the structure and composition of a system and its...

Low-dimensional quantum magnetism continues to be of great theoretical and experimental interest, as reduced dimensionality supports strong quantum fluctuations which can result...

The iron-based superconductors are at the forefront of the research on unconventional superconductivity. The Barium-122 systems, doped with electrons, reveal a non-trivial...

In the area of metal-organic porous materials, supramolecular metal-organic frameworks (SMOFs) constitute a blooming alternative. Their examples are still relatively scarce when...

We have recently shown that the anomalous behaviour of the Te-O coordination number, nTeO, for binary tellurite glasses is related to the presence of terminal Te=O bonds in...

We propose to perform neutron diffraction experiments on powder samples of possible spin-induced multiferroic materials, 114CdMn7O12 and SrMn7O12, at ambient pressure and low...

Our objective is to determine accurate structural models for some novel oxide materials that we have recently prepared using new synthesis approaches, each of which is formed as...

Tin phosphate glasses are the alternative as lead-free glasses with zero photoeleastic constant (PEC) for fibers that are used in sensors of electric current. Since the binary...

Bismuth Ferrite (BiFeO3) is the archetypal multiferroic material and as such has been copiously studied using a wide variety of techniques. Despite this, new structural and...

Heterogeneous catalysis, where the reagents are either contained in a liquid medium, or are liquids in their own right, plays a significant part of the chemical industry. These...

New manganese-based double perovskites Mn2-xCaxFeReO6 have been synthesised at high pressure. Mn2FeReO6 has spin-active cations at all sites; S = 5/2 Mn2+, S = 5/2 Fe3+ and S =...

The study of novel manganites, where the tailoring of the Mn formal valence state on the B site is done by the ordering of different cations on the A site of the ABO3 (B:Mn)...

With the discovery of almost 3000 exo-planets it is clear that planet formation is a by-product of star formation, yet in the micron ? cm size range, where relative velocities...

The increasing demand for portable energy means that the search for new electrode materials for rechargeable solid-state batteries is a key challenge in materials science....

The crystal structure of the intermetallic PrFe2Al8 consists of a network of Al which forms quasi cage-like structure where the Pr and the Fe form chains of atoms along the...

Differences in heavy metal nuclear momentum distributions (NMDs) in different metallic compounds due to chemical binding and effective temperature difference will most likely...

We propose to probe the development of the low-temperature magnetism in SrHo2O4 using a high count rate diffractometer such as WISH or GEM. SrHo2O4 belongs to a family of...
