Geometrically frustrated systems such as pyrochlore compounds receive much attention since they display exotic magnetic states. The explanation lies on the large degeneracy of...

The aim of this proposal is to examine the relative population of sp2 and sp3 bonds in a small number of graphitic samples, given that the bond length is 1.42A for standard sp2...

This experiment will use high resolution neutron diffraction to investigate the crystal and magnetic structure of the cobalt adipate framework, Co(CO2(CH2)4CO2), at lower...

We propose neutron diffraction experiments on quasicrystals (Ti45Zr38Ni17)1-xDx (x = 0 and 0.58). Ti45Zr38Ni17 absorbs and desorbs hydrogen atoms substantially. However the...

The stress-induced martensitic deformation and variant conversion (due to straining in the martensite state) of a Ti-50.8% Ni shape memory alloy will be studied. Macroscopic...

Neutron diffraction offers one of the most interesting and meaningful methods for non destructive quantitative determination of the phase composition of materials. However, it...

Since the discovery of high transition temperature (high Tc) copper oxide, many efforts have been made on the understanding of its electronic and magnetic properties. Although...

Jadeite, NaAlSi2O6 is an important mineral in metamorphic rocks and occurs in low as well as high metamorphic grade. Previously we have determined the thermoelastic properties...

The aim of this proposal is to determine the crystal structure of Fe3O4 (magnetite) in its low temperature phase below the Verwey transition. Despite a considerable amount of...

Metal oxide nanoparticles are a form of pollution generated by a number of industrial procedures, and there is evidence that this class of nanoparticle can have a detrimental...

An interesting In(III)-framework has been synthesized at the University of Nottingham by the group of research of Martin Schroder. This metal-organic framework is based on...
