Bismuth niobate (BiNbO4) is widely used in multilayer RF and microwave components such as capacitors and chip layer capacitors. This compound exhibits two main structural forms...

Although microemulsions have been widely investigated as potential drug delivery vehicles, relatively little work has been performed establishing the detailed molecular...

We propose to use a pulsed magnet system tried and tested at several neutron and synchrotron facilities in conjunction with the new high flux diffractometer WISH to perform the...

Materials with helical and double helical structure motifs are prone to display fascinating spring-type behaviour, i.e. a shallow energy surface along the spring-axis in which...

Zwitterionics (here, alkyldimethylammonium carboxybetaines) are widely used in applications which require "mildness", e g cosmetics and isolation of membrane proteins, although...

We wish to investigate the magnetic structure of a series of magnetic multilayers using a new technique we have successfully implemented called Spin Echo Modulated Small Angle...

Ionic conductivity is a property where a material is able to conduct electricity through the movement of ions. Oxide ion conductors can be used in solid oxide fuel cells, which...

Extreme muon quantum effects will be studied in the simple organic molecule acetone in deuterated and undeuterated forms using ALC spectroscopy to determine the quantum averaged...

In this proposal we request 3 days of beam time on HRPD to study the structures (both atomic and magnetic) of a variety of oxychalcogenide phases: La2O2Se2Fe2O, Ce2O2Se2Mn and...

Studying bosonic analogues of fermions in topological electron systems is one of the hottest areas. They are featured by linear band crossing points at finite energy in the...

Human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) is an integral membrane protein found in mitochondria involved in the biosynthesis of pyrimidines. DHODH oxidizes dihydroorotate with...

NdMnO3 exhibits A-type antiferromagnetism with TN =73 K. At 15 K, Nd sublattice orders with a (0, -Fy, 0) type ferromagnetic arrangement. Mn spin reorientation from (Ax, Fy, 0)...

Thermal, magnetic, neutron and muSR measurements all point towards a gapless or almost gapless spin liquid ground state for the triangular lattice spin system of S=1/2 Mo3...

Ammonium bromide undergoes a pressure-induced order-disorder transition, where the disordered (plastic) phase is thought to consist of a random distribution of ammonium cations...

This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding the adsorption of collagen based polypeptide and its interaction with ionic surfactants at the...

The proposed experiment involves monitoring the depolarisation behaviour of rhombohedral PZT (lead zirconate titanate) ceramics caused by ferroelectric domain switching during...

Water ice displays a remarkably complex phase diagram containing pairs of hydrogen-ordered / disordered phases. Ice XII is a hydrogen-disordered phase and ice XIV is its...

We have recently observed extraordinary polymorphism on cooling various sodalites under vacuum. Materials undergo a phase transition followed by a fully reversible...

Thermal batteries find use in applications such as emergency power systems and ejector seats in aircraft. They operate at elevated temperatures of around 400-500 °C, where the...

Metal and metal oxide nanostructures can be prepared in much different morphology (nanowires, nanobelts, nanofibres etc.) which are known to exhibit better adjustable properties...
