The effect of redox on the substitution mechanism of Ti in meteoritic hibonite
We request 3 days of beam-time on HRPD to identify the substitution mechanism of Ti3+ and Ti4+ in synthetic hibonites [CaAl12O19]. The experiment forms part of a larger... -
Electronically-driven structural transition in Ti-doped Ca3Ru2O7
The purpose of the experiment is to determine the effect of titanium doping on the structural and magnetic transitions of Ca3Ru2O7. The pure material undergoes a Néel transition... -
The role of Disorder in Phase Transitions in some manganese Perovskites
The aim of this work is to understand the origin of the difference in the behaviour between the two doped manganites Sr0.65Pr0.35MnO3 and Sr0.70Ce0.30MnO3. The hypothesis we... -
Well, well, well: the free energy landscape of hydrogenated La(Fe,Si)13?
Magnetic cooling promises efficiency savings at room temperature but requires rapid cycling of a magnetic refrigerant in a magnetic field. Refrigerants with first order... -

Multiferroic (Ferroelastic/Magnetic) Phase Transitions in KMnF3
KMnF3 perovskite undergoes 3 structural, and two magnetic phase transitions on cooling from 300 K to 2 K. Above 185 K the compound is in the aristotype structure, on cooling... -
Magnetic structure of pyrochlore irridate Y2Ir2O7
We propose to study by powder neutron diffraction the ordered magnetic state of the pyrochlore compound Y2Ir2O7. There is currently an increasing interest in the condensed... -
Strain analysis of commensurate charge order/zener polaron ordering transitio...
High resolution powder diffraction data will be used to obtain lattice parameter and atomic coordinate variations as a function of temperature for Pr0.6Ca0.4MnO3, which has a... -
A Self-consistent Description of the Thermoelastic Properties of Dielectric P...
20 years ago, Anderson proposed that the thermoelastic properties of the dominant (mantle) phase within the Earth, MgSiO3 perovskite, could be described as a simple Debye solid.... -
Lattice dynamics in the giant barocaloric Ammonium Sulfate
Given the challenges in providing efficient and non-harmful refrigeration, it is timely to study barocaloric systems, which offer cooling power via the application of pressure,... -
IINS study of the terminating protons in the basic structural units of graphi...
Carbon blacks can be graphitised to different degrees, whereas glassy (vitreous) carbons, which are used as electrode material, in electronics and construction, and as... -
INS Study of Multifunctional Catalysts (Ru, Pd-loaded Nb2O5Hx) for the Effici...
We request 7 days on TOSCA to carry out inelastic neutron scattering study of two novel multifunctional catalysts (Ru/Nb2O5Hx and Pd/Nb2O5Hx) for the efficient cleavage of C-O... -
Magnetic structure and multiferroicity in metal-formate perovskites
The family of guanadinium metal formates (M=Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu) are isostructural with the perovskites and are therefore of interest for potential applications: in particular,... -

KMnF3 perovskite undergoes 3 structural, and two magnetic phase transitions on cooling from 300 K to 2 K. Above 185 K the compound is in the aristotype structure, on cooling... -
High Resolution Powder Diffraction of Manganites to Determine Bond Lengths as...
Manganites show promise as magnetocaloric materials - for use in solid-state refrigeration - in terms of cost, durability and tunable thermal conductivity. By tuning the... -
Is dynamic asymmetry the essential ingredient in the (universal?) 'strong-fra...
We want to elucidate whether the so-called ¿strong-fragile¿ transition reported for water mixtures is a universal phenomenon driven by confinement effects originated by the... -
Spin reorientation transition in Ba2CrO2Cr2As2 - resubmission
This is an experiment to probe the magnetic ordering in Ba2CrO2Cr2As2 and compare the behaviour with the Sr analogue which shows a complex spin reorientation transition around... -
Proton dynamics in novel organic ferroelectric materials
The vast majority of known ferroelectrics are inorganic compounds such as barium titanate and potassium dihydrogen phosphate. Contrary to naïve expectation, ferroelectricity in...
