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... -
Detailed Measurements of the Crystalline Electric Field of Shastry-Sutherland...
We are proposing to accurately map out the crystal electric field (CEF) levels in NdB4, ErB4 and HoB4 using MARI. These compounds belong to a family, REB4, which is a rare... -
Benchmarking New van-der-Waals Functionals for Soft Layered Materials
The accurate description of van-der-Waals forces within density functional theory is currently one of the most active areas of research in computational physics and chemistry.... -
What is the cause for the gapped mode in the `BEC' phase of DTN?
Arguably the most-famous quantum phase transition is the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of magnons. It can be studied experimentally in gapped quantum paramagnets when an... -
Characterization of Weld Residual Strain/Stresses Distribution in Titanium We...
Titanium and its alloys have increasingly become a material of choice in high performance structures due to superior corrosion resistance and high strength to weight ratio for... -
The origin of ultra-low thermal conductivity in the thermal barrier material ...
Thermal barrier materials are used in modern turbines to enable them to run above the melting temperature of the turbine blades. However, to go to higher temperatures (and... -
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... -
First insights into the hydration of the nootropic drug piracetam by neutron ...
The proposal seeks to investigate the structure and hydration of the nootropic drug piracetam in aqueous solutions by neutron scattering on the SANDALS instrument, with... -

Effect of oxygen vacancies on the phonon dispersion of pyrochlores
The frustrated magnetism of pyrochlores makes them candidates for applications in magnetic cooling and scientific instrumentation, and the proposal that they can be used to... -
Coupling between magnons and phonons in multiferroic tellurides Co3TeO6 and N...
The tellurides, M3TeO6, were recently reported as multiferroic The materials show complex behaviour with a series of commensurate and incommensurate antiferromagnetic phases... -
IN-SITU NEUTRON DIFFRACTION STUDIES OF METAL-HYDRIDE HYDROGEN STORAGE MATERIALS
Hydrogen storage is considered to be one of the principal technological barriers in the transition towards a hydrogen-based economy. In this proposal, we plan to look at the key... -
The effect of confinement on the structure of alcohol-water mixtures
Compared with gas phase reactions, liquid phase catalytic processes are complex due to the effect of the solvent. The solvent controls many aspects of the overall reaction... -
Ordering of water molecules in water/amino acid mixtures
The obvious role played by water dynamics in the biological movements and reactions has stimulated huge experimental efforts during last years. However, biological materials are... -
Probing Ion Binding to Micelles ¿ Investigating the Hofmeister Series
This proposal continues our research on ion binding to surfactant micelles. Our recent work demonstrates that the details of water structure around micelles are now accessible... -
Aza-crown-stabilized Alkali-Alkalide Systems: Solvent and metal effects on di...
We request 4 days on IRIS to investigate the diffusional and rotational dynamics of the alkalide forming, fully methylated aza-crown hexamethyl-hexacyclen (HMHC) in... -
Drug solvation in amphiphilic solutions: understanding how small molecules cr...
Understanding how drugs interact with physiologically relevant environments is crucial for the future of effective drug design. An important class of potential drugs are central... -

Is dynamic asymmetry the essential ingredient in the (universal?) 'strong-fra...
We want to elucidate whether the so-called ¿strong-fragile¿ transition reported for water mixtures is a universal phenomenon driven by confinement effects originated by the... -
Magnetic scattering for strain-induced martensite detection in duplex stainle...
The investigation is aimed to confirm the non-diffusive process known as strain-induced martensite formation which could manifest itself in Duplex Stainless Steel (DSS) during...
