What is the Room Temperature Structure of NaTaO3?
The current proposal seeks to establish the origin of t non-perovskite-like peak splitting observed in HRPD data for NaTaO3. It is our hypothesis that this is a result of the... -

Hydrogen Uptake by Pillared Graphite Oxides
High sorption capacities and enhanced interaction strengths are the two most fundamental prerequisites for the deployment of carbon-based materials as hydrogen-storage media. In... -
Structural and magnetic characterisation of polar magnetic perovskite-based m...
A new generation of low-power high-density information storage would be enabled by the development of ?multiferroic? materials which function at or above room temperature. Such... -
The Dynamics of Molecular Hydrogen in Synthetic Clays
In this proposal we aim to study the low temperature uptake and dynamics of hydrogen in the interlayer region of partially hydrated pillared clays. There are linked dual... -
Understanding the formation of diamonds: Calibrating the coesite solid-inclus...
Diamonds provide our only direct samples of the very deep Earth and understanding their origin is consequently of great interest to Earth Scientists. The origin of diamonds can... -
Thermal expansion of kyanite, andalusite and sillimanite
Al2SiO5 forms three naturally-occurring polymorphs, kyanite, andalusite and sillimanite. These minerals are produced by varying degrees of metamorphism of sedimentary rocks, the... -
Magneto-elasticity, metamagnetism and the magnetic cooling potential of Fe2P-...
We wish to trace the changes in lattice parameters and atomic coordinates around the first and second order Curie transitions of Fe2P and boron (11B)-doped Fe2P0.95,B0.05... -
Magnetic excitations in mesoporous hematite
We have recently prepared mesoporous forms of various metals oxides. In some cases the imposition of a mesostructure changes other properties of the material significantly. One... -
Magnetic structure of layered oxide chalcogenides: Ba2CoO2Cu2Te2 and Sr2CoO3CuSe
This is an experiment to measure the crystal structures and the thermal evolution of the magnetic structures of two new layered oxide chalcogenides. In Ba2CoO2Cu2Te2 we will... -
Uptake of Molecular Hydrogen by High-performance Carbon Nanostructures (IRIS)
High sorption capacities and enhanced interaction strengths are the two most fundamental prerequisites for the deployment of carbon-based materials as hydrogen-storage media. In... -
Impact of Jahn-Teller Distortions in Sr0.5Pr0.5MnO3
We propose to use the HRPD to establish the sequence of structures, and the nature of the transitions between these, in two complex manganites Sr0.5Pr0.5MnO3 and... -
Interlayer and Interparticle Water in Clays
Clay barriers are routinely used in nuclear waste repositories to isolate radionuclides from the biosphere. Such barriers have to be carefully designed to remain effective for... -
Charting the increase in spin fluctuations as we approach the critical point ...
The LaFe13-xSix system (x<1.6) has a first order ferromagnetic, FM, to paramagnetic, PM, transition that is tunable in magnetic field, ending at a (tri)critical point (Hcrit,... -
Competition between C-H---O hydrogen bonds and C=O----Br halogen bonds
Our main objective in this proposal is to study the competition between halogen and hydrogen bonding as a function of temperature in the complex (CH3)2C=O--- Br2. The results of... -

Stochastic vs. Intermolecular Motions in Strongly Associated Liquids: The Cas...
Neutron scattering is a powerful technique to study stochastic motions in liquids but it requires an energy resolution well below the meV range. As a consequence, quasielastic... -

Transport properties of sodium ions in novel electrochemical storage systems
The electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices are the key components in future?s smart energy grids enabling on-demand and efficient energy usage. To date, flow,... -
Incommensurate magnetic fluctuation in KFe2As2
The debate whether interband or intraband scattering is crucial for Fe-based superconductors is not settled down yet. Investigation a system with completely missing electron...
