Study of magnetic spiral in the room temperature multiferroic BiFeO3 - PbTiO3
BiFeO3 is a room temperature multiferroic, displaying both ferroelectric and antiferromagnetic (AFE) ordering. x-BiFeO3 - (1-x)-PbTiO3 is also multiferroic at room temperature... -
The environment of lithium in an invert glass
We request beamtime to study lithium silicate glasses over a very wide composition range from 20 to 65 mol.% Li2O, made by rapid quenching. For the higher Li2O contents, the... -
Texture measurement and in-situ annealing of hot-rolled α + β dual-...
The experiment will use neutron diffraction to analyse a hot-rolled matrix of dual-phase ZrNb alloys, in order to measure the macroscopic texture dependence on temperature,... -
Sodium chalcohalide glasses for battery applications
Lithium batteries provide the highest energy density which makes them ideal candidates for future generations of portable electronics and electric vehicles. The increasing... -
Short range order Ge-S and Ge-(Ga,Sb)-S glasses
Ge-(Ga,Sb)-S glasses are widely used in infrared optics. Despite the practical importance their short range order is still not understood completely. The main problem is that... -

New morphologies of functional metal oxide nanoparticles
The morphologies of metal oxide nanoparticles may be varied by imposition of an electric field during growth. These varying morphologies give improved efficiencies for gas... -
COMPOSITION AND MICROSTRUCTRUE OF TERNARY COPPER ALLOYS TO IMPROVE A NON-DEST...
Antique objects made of Cu-Sn or Cu-Zn alloys have been widely characterised by neutron diffraction. However, the employment of binary alloys gave way to the use of more common... -
Magnetic structures of antiferromagnetic heavy fermion CeAuAl3 and CeCuAl3 co...
CeAuAl3 and CeCuAl3 compounds crystallize in the tetragonal I4mm, BaNiSn3-type and display interesting bulk properties. Here we propose to investigate the magnetic structures of... -
Anion correlations in Ta oxynitrides
Transition metal oxynitrides with the perovskite structure type are an emerging class of functional materials with a variety of interesting optical, photocatalytic, dielectric... -
Structure of B2O3-GeO2 glass by neutron diffraction with isotope substitution
The composition dependent structure of glasses in the B2O3-GeO2 system will be measured by employing the method of neutron diffraction with Ge isotope substitution. This system... -
Neutron Diffraction study of Highly Frustrated SrEr2O4
We propose to measure the neutron diffraction pattern of a single crystal sample of SrEr2O4, using the WISH diffractometer. As the magnetic Er ions in this compound are linked... -
Structural and Magnetic Characterizations of the New, High Pressure Synthesiz...
After an almost forty year lull in research on multiferroic materials, there has been a resurgence of interest in them. However, it is particularly challenging to synthesize a... -
Unraveling the structural evolution and reactivity of white rust, a key inter...
White rust (WR) is a highly reactive material that acts as a precursor in many chemical processes. It is produced during iron corrosion and has been implicated as a key reactive... -

Modelling the Structure of Metal-organic Framework Glasses
We have recently demonstrated the glass-forming ability of the family of hybrid micro-porous materials known as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Specifically, a family known as... -
Neutron diffraction and µSR investigation on YbPd
YbPd crystallizes in the cubic CsCl-type structure and reported to have magnetically ordered ground state with the mixed valence of the Yb ion. Further, it under goes through... -
Negative thermal expansion in ReO3: anomalous variation with temperature
ReO3 is a well-known oxide framework with unusual thermal expansion behaviour, exhibiting multiple regions of both positive and negative thermal expansion (NTE). We propose to... -
Polyhedra Coexistence in Alkali Borogermanate Glasses
GeO2-rich potassium borogermanate glasses are topologically complex, in that [BOn] (n = 3, 4) and [GeOn] (n = 4, 5, 6) polyhedra may all coexist. We wish to determine average... -
Evolutionary developments in the use of INS to investigate heterogeneous cata...
As part of an EPSRC grant coupled with an ISIS Programme Access award, the research team have been developing the methodology of using inelastic neutron scattering (INS) to...
