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...

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...

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...

We have recently begun to look at how large, polarisable alkalides (group 1 metal anions) are solvated in solution. This proposal aims to determine how ethylamine is able to...

Gallium has a low melting point and forms a liquid just above room temperature. The melting curve has a negative slope and when pressure is applied room pressure phases will...

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...

Organic-inorganic perovskites have recently been shown to be potentially efficient and inexpensive photovoltaics. These materials undergo a series of structural transitions and...

Reduced graphene oxide (rGO), as one of graphene-based materials, is prepared by reducing oxygen functional groups on graphene oxide (GO) via either thermal or chemical...

The composition Ni2.04Mn1.4Sn0.56 belongs to the group of metamagnetic shape memory alloys and it shows multiple magnetic phases as a function of temperature. In a recent muon...

We investigated the influence of sulfur on a well-known methanation catalyst, nickel on alumina/silica, so as to gain more information about sulfur poisoning. By different...

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...

NaCr2O4 is a Q1D TMO that offers a rich range of properties from the view point of fundamental science as well as from the view point of applied science. Indeed on one hand...

ZSM-5 zeolites are used as additives in Fluidised Catalytic Cracking (FCC) units to increase the yield of LPG alkenes by conversion of gasoline-range hydrocarbons, forming a key...

Zaccai et al. proposed to build up a neutron Dynamics Data Bank which would be populated with dynamical data of biological macromolecules measured with different techniques,...

Due to the importance of developing efficient biomass conversion processes, the mobility of lignin constituents phenol and catechol in zeolite Beta will be studied using QENS....

This is a proposal to drive the layered oxide chalcogenide Sr2NiO2Cu2Se2 from the high-spin state with long range magnetic order to the low-spin state, similar to that displayed...

The Mn(II) phases LaSrMnO3.5 and LaBaMnO3.5 have been prepared by the topotactic reduction of LaSrMnO4 and LaBaMnO4 respectively. Preliminary neutron diffraction data show that...

Frustration occurs in materials where antiferromagnetic (spin up and spin down pairs) are incomparible with the underlying crystal morphology, for example where the connectivity...

In the last 25 years the highest blocking temperature TB achieved for the best performing molecular nanomagnets has only reached few K. The situation has recently changed...

Conductive polymers (CP) show desirable physicochemical properties, with CP-based nanocomposites being manufactured for various applications i.e. sensors The filler particles...
