Local structure of bulk and nanocrystalline Chromium
We plan to study the coupling between magnetic properties and local structure of polycrystalline and nanocrystalline chromium. Chromium undergoes a magnetic ordering transition... -
Unidentified Phase Transition in Polar Lanthanum Tantalate (LaTaO4)
The family of crystals with formula ABX4 represent a very interesting class of ferroelectrics that are extremely two-dimensional. Fluorides have been extensively researched but... -
NR study of binding of short antimicrobial alpha-helix peptides with model li...
In this work we explore how our rationally designed peptide amphiphiles bind onto lipid monolayers using neutron reflection combined with deuterium labelling to the lipids,... -
Dipolar frustration on the triangular lattice: Order and disorder in AgNCO
We propose to use neutron total scattering to characterise isocyanate (NCO-) orientations within the orientationally-disordered phase of AgNCO. The arrangement of NCO- ions in... -
A pair distribution function study to determine the local structure of the ti...
BaTiO3 is the prototypical ferroelectic perovskite and has been well studied for over 60 years. The standard structural picture is that it is cubic and paraelectric at high...
