The aim of the present proposal is to investigate the mechanism of CO oxidation over hydrous palladium oxide, both directly and indirectly. For the direct route, the sample will...

We have found unusual and promising Hall effect behaviour in the alloy Fe3Sn2 at 300K. Fe3Sn2 is predominantly ferromagnetic, however, our neutron diffraction data indicate that...

The proposal is to measure the inelastic scattering from a single crystal of Åkermanite on cooling towards and through the incommensurate phase transition at 358 K. There are...

The high ionic conducting delta-phase of Bi2O3 can be stabilized at ambient temperature in a range of compositions, viz., (Bi1-xYx)2O3 (x=0.1 -0.5). We would measure inelastic...

This proposal is part of an ongoing project to relate the magnetic excitations to other electronic properties of the cuprate superconductors. We have recently proposed that the...

We plan to study the temperature dependence of magnetic excitations in the optimally doped high-Tc superconductor Bi$2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O${8+\delta}$ (BSCCO). We have previously...

We have recently used INS to determine how a hydrogen pre-treatment stage of an iron based Fischer-Tropsch catalyst may modify catalytic performance. That work established how...

One fundamental issue in the iron-based superconductors is whether the conventional local moment Heisenberg model is sufficient to describe magnetism in these materials, or...

One of the major issues in high temperature superconductivity is the nature of the so called pseudogap phase. A related question is whether the pseudogap controls the evolution...

A better understanding of the magnetic excitation spectrum of LuFe2O4 is required to refine current models of the magnetoelectric coupling in this novel "electronic"...

LiFePO4 (LFP) is a commercially used Li ion battery material for high power applications. Particle shape and surface play an important role in the Li diffusion and thus the...

We propose to study a model phyllosilicate catalyst that, upon brief thermal treatment, releases OH groups from its surface to generate pockets of coordinatively unsaturated...
