Producing meat analogue instead of real meat is one effective way to reduce carbon emissions and improve animal welfare. Calcium caseinate (CaCas) is a prominent candidate for...

Amorphous molecular magnetic materials Ni2(OA) (OA:organic acceptor) were reported to exhibit ferromagnetism with Curie temperatures >400K. This work is controversial as it...

Improving the efficiency of existing drugs is currently one of the major goals of pharmaceutical industries. Rather than developing new drugs, which requires new clinical...

The aim of this proposal is to measure inelastic neutron spectra using the TOSCA instrument for a series of samples of the widely used secondary explosives RDX and HMX. During a...

We wish to measure the magnetic excitations and subgap states in a doped (x=0.06) spin ladder using MERLIN. The purpose of the measurements is to ascertain the relationship...

The orthorhombic compound Ba4Ru3O10 having Ru3O12 timers coupled via corner-shared oxygens in the crystal structure exhibits very interesting magnetic and transport properties....

The magnetoelectric Y-type hexaferrites demonstrate coupling between magnetism and electric polarisation in relatively small applied magnetic fields, and are hence candidate...

Zeolites are highly crystalline aluminosilicate materials which are characterised by their microporosity and open framework structures. Due to their porosity, zeolites have a...

In recent years, there has been a large research interest in noncentrosymmetric systems in part due to the exotic physics these systems display. Examples of chiral magnets...

The proposal deals with compounds belonging to the ZrCuSiAs structure type that received renewed attention after the discovery and development of Fe-based superconductors. In...

In condensed matter physics, the search for new exotic quantum ground states has become a central theme over the past few years. Among the 3D quantum spin liquid candidates, the...

Faster-than-expected ageing is observed in some seeds (e.g. orchids, coffee, citrus, willows) stored dry at -20°C, the standard temperatures of seed banks. This ageing has been...

Nature abhors disorder and degeneracy at low temperature. Designing materials that confront this requirement can therefore lead to new states in which the degeneracy is lifted....

One of the main goals of the research in Molecular Magnetism is to increase the blocking temperature TB of Single-Molecule Magnets (SMMs). A significant breakthrough was...

Dion-Jacobson (DJ) [layered perovskites A'[An-1BnO3n+1], where A' is an alkali cation, A is an alkaline earth or rare earth cation and B is a transition metal) have a wide range...

The use of deuteration to overcome the difficulties associated with the incoherent scattering from hydrogen, is a well established technique. However, there are increasing...

The van der Waals nature of carbon based organic semiconductors (OSCs) offers low cost deposition routes while intermolecular vibrations affect to some extend their charge...

Methylammonium lead iodide has recently been recognised as an excellent photovoltaic material, with energy conversion efficient of up to 15% with the prospect of gaining higher...

We propose to investigate the spin dynamics in the frustrated antiferromagnet beta-CaCr2O4. Its structure consist in one dimensional chains of Cr+3 forming the legs of zig-zag...

To determine the crystal fields of hexagonal RRh3 (R=Pr, Nd) compounds showing ferromagnetic transitions at TC=3 and 6 K, respectively, we plan to perform inelastic neutron...
