The cubic pores in many Prussian blue analogues are big enough to contain organic cations. In the material (HIm)2K[Fe(CN)6], the imidazolate guest cation is free to rotate in...

The present proposal is part of a larger EPSRC project advancing the vibrational spectroscopy of silicate glasses. The project involves the techniques of IR and Raman...

The high-pressure form of solid water, ice III, is the equilibrium phase in contact with liquid water at pressures from about 2.0 - 3.5 kbar. Consequently, its properties are...

This is an experiment to measure the crystal structures and the thermal evolution of the magnetic structures of two new layered oxide chalcogenides. In Ba2CoO2Cu2Te2 we will...

This is a proposal to fully characterise the crystal structures of the superconducting metal/ammonia intercalates of FeSe made using low temperature methods. In particular we...

The formation of silk fibres in both spiders and silkworms is characterized by a conversion of short range ordered structures in solution into long range ordered beta-sheet rich...

The proposed experiment at ISIS aims at the characterization of the vibrational properties of ammonium borohydride, NH4BH4, which possess the highest gravimetric H density (~25...

In BaDy2O4, the magnetic Dy3+ ions are arranged in a network of triangles and hexagons, and coupled with antiferromagnetic exchange interactions, which gives rise to geometric...

SrRuO3 is particularly interesting as it is the only simple Ruthenate that exhibits ferromagnetic order at ambient conditions, which still is a rare phenomenon in the broader...

This proposal is to measure the evolution of the magnetic structures of a series of iron oxide chalcogenides and compare the structures as a function of cation sizes and with...

Negative thermal expansion (NTE) materials, the volume of a material abnormally contract with the increase of temperature, is closed related to the magnetovolume effect (MVE) in...

We have discovered an unusual magnetovolume effect in the 6H-perovskite oxides Ba3BiIr2O9 and Ba3BiRu2O9. These compounds contain isolated face-sharing bi-octahedral dimers...

The Quantum spin liquid (QSL) state continues to fascinate the condensed matter community. This is because the spins in a QSL are highly entangled and fluctuate strongly down to...

In the last five years, we have carried out a comprehensive study of the family of REMn2O5 multiferroics by neutron and X-ray magnetic scattering, providing details about the...

Progress in the development of nano-sized hybrid therapeutics and nano-sized drug delivery systems - "nanomedicines" - over the last decade has been remarkable. One key...

In recent experiments we accidentally observed the onset of nanophase segregation in concentrated LiCl-water solutions by increasing dilution, in the deeply undercooled regime....

Quantum critically is a unifying theme across correlated electron physics. Classical or thermal phase transitions occur at nonzero temperature and are driven by thermal...

We request 5 days on NIMROD to characterise the pressure and temperature dependent properties of amorphous icy particles generated in liquid ethane, as they will be used in...

Hollandites (AxM8O16, where A is a large cation and M is a transition metal, here vanadium) have been studied for a wide range of properties, including electronic phenomena such...

Exotic ordering phenomena resulting from magnetic frustration continue to attract attention as newtypes of frustrated compounds emerge. A very recent development in this field...
