We propose to collect data on SXD with a large crystal of CsNiCl3. As shown, this will allow us to study the nuclear diffuse scattering originating for the phonons scattering...

It has very recently been shown that Mott-insulators located at the crossover regime closer to the itinerant side, such as RNiO3, undergo a pressure-induced transition into a...

The subjects of this proposal, Ho2+xTi2-xO7-x/2, are brand new materials1 related to Ho2Ti2O7, a spin ice2,3. They have the remarkable property of remaining disordered at very...

This is a part of our Li-diffusion study in battery materials with muSR. In order for balancing safety and energy density, a solid solution system between LiFePO4 and LiMnPO4...

BaTiO3 is often thought of as the classic example of a ferroelectric material, with a well-defined, widely-taught phase diagram. However, the nature of the ferroelectric phase...

The aim of this proposal is to use neutron powder diffraction to characterise a series of 9 new halide modified lithium amides and imides which are of interest as reversible...

We have metallised the two-dimensional honeycomb anti-ferromagnet FePS3 at 5.5 GPa. The mechanisms for metallisation, as well as the physical properties of the metallic state,...

We request 4 days on HRPD with the IGAn apparatus to follow the structural changes of Me-ND4 11BD4 as a function of temperature. The high resolution of HRPD will allow us to...

The mantle is estimated to be planet Earth’s most massive volatile (e.g. H, C, S, N) storage reservoir, with interactions between crustal and mantle reservoirs dominate the...

We have been studying the formation of solid polymer-surfactant films at the air-solution interface formed from cationic surfactants with PEI. We wish to use the highly...

Microwave techniques are of interest to the materials chemistry community as they allow access to new metastable materials, and offer synthetic routes that are considerably...

This proposal is concerned with determining variations in the high pressure structure of LaCoO3 and observing changes within this as the material undergoes some well...

Steels often have anisotropic mechanical properties due to texture or internal stress generated by deformation. Recently it has become desirable to control this anisotropy, to...

In a proof-of-concept beamtime award (RB1220486) we studied the process of platinum-catalysed benzene hydrogenation in the pores of MCM-41 using standard neutron diffraction...

As part of a project to develop new electronic materials based on the coupling of electronic and structural properties in new perovskites we have been investigating the...

In the mono-alcohols (ROH) there is a competition between the packing requirements of the R-group and the demand for the hydroxyl groups to be sufficiently close for hydrogen...

Bismuth ferrite is arguably the most widely studied multiferroic material due to room temperature magnetic and ferroelectric ordering. However, despite extensive research the...

This application focuses on the study of two important lithium ion battery materials. We intend to use our newly developed cell design which allows for the cycling of battery...

The proposed experiment aims to establish a detector system for a measurement of parity-violating effect in muonic atoms. A measurement of parity violation in atoms is a...

FeF2 is a conversion reaction material that undergoes a reaction with lithium: FeF2+2Li++2e-<->2LiF+Fe, which results in a high theoretical capacity, 571 mA/g....
