The aim of this research is to determine structural systematics of a series of materials with compositions and structures related to the mineral umbite (K2ZrSi3O9·H2O) and some...

We propose to study the low temperature structural and magnetic changes in three clinopyroxene phases FeGeO3, CaNiSi2O6 and CaCoSi2O6. All three phases order...

The objective of this research is to understand the detailed structure of water-surfactant solutions as a function of concentration. This is important as these materials form...

Ge-As-Se glasses are interesting for two main reasons: they are widely used in infrared optics and optoelectronics and they serve as model materials for theories of glass...

Recent studies in our laboratory have shown that a range of A-site deficient perovskite oxides, with carefully tuned chemical compositions, exhibit excellent properties when...

In centrosymmetric heavy-fermion (HF) superconductors Cooper pairs have either singlet or triplet symmetry. Recently a handful of non-centrosymmetric Ce-based HF compounds have...

We have developed a new approach for forming lipid nanoparticles (LNP) with and without interfering RNA and DNA from a microfluidic setup. The LNPs are formed by an ionisable...

The main objective of the present work is to complete some work aimed at gaining an understanding of the interaction of phospholipid membranes containing the neutral helper...

We propose to study the low-energy spin fluctuations in ferromagnetic metal CeAgSb2. The ordered moment is oriented away from the direction favored by the lattice. Recent...

The Earth's climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and optical properties, important effects. Common...

Atomistic characterisation of phase transitions in organic materials is important because of the role played by polymorphism in pharmaceuticals and agochemicals. Conventional...

Radial forging is an open-die forging process utilizing radially moving dies for producing of cylindrical/tubular components with different internal and external profiles. The...

Al2SiO5 forms three naturally-occurring polymorphs, kyanite, andalusite and sillimanite. These minerals are produced by varying degrees of metamorphism of sedimentary rocks, the...

Epsomite is known to undergo a series of phase transitions up to 3 GPa at room temperature, a pressure regime which is of relevance to the interiors of icy planetary bodies,...

The properties of methane ammonia water mixtures are crucial for models of how the outer planets evolved and yet have not been much studied. This proposal is for beamtime to...

Equations of state (EoSs) show how the thermodynamic variables of temperature, pressure and volume are inter-related. The ideal gas law, PV = nRT, is an example of an EoS which...

SrCu$_2$(BO$_3$)$_2$ (SCBO) is a very much studied quantum magnet that is most well known for its ground state of coupled singlets and multiple magnetization plateaux. Recently,...

We request 3 days on POLARIS to study the detailed crystal structure of a sodium battery cathode material that is currently under consideration for use in commercial sodium...

From the archaeometric point of view, very few studies have been performed on late antiquecopper-alloys, mainly by means of destructive techniques.The present study opens up...

A recent neutron study of a powder sample attests a splayed ferromagnetic structure for Yb2Ti2O7. However in the same work the authors report gapless magnetic excitations even...
