The proposal addreses the compounds PrPtAl and YbNiSn. Both systems are canted ferromagnets with both materials undergoing moment reorientation transitions as a function of...

The interplay between spin, charge, orbital, and lattice degrees of freedoms in SrMn1-xWxO3 (X= 0.1625, 0.175) produce the charge and/or spin density waves (CDW, SDW) modulated...

Multiferroics and in particular BiFeO3 have recieved alot of interest. The potential of multiferroic materials to be incorporated into many devices such as sensors and memory...

Halogenomethane derivatives exhibit thermally induced solid¿solid phase transitions before melting that are attributed to the ability to gain rotational degrees of freedom in...

Sr3Ru2O7 is a layered Ruddlesden-Popper perovskite which displays intriguing behaviour at low temperatures and high magnetic field. It can be tuned close to a quantum critical...

YbAl3C3 undergoes a structural phase transition at 80 K and a spin-dimer formation below 10K. To gain more information on the nature of the spin-dimer state and the phase...

Increasing the density of hydrogen storage is critical for the commercial introduction of hydrogen vehicles. Our nanostructured electrospun ammonia borane (AB)-polystyrene (PS)...

The undecahydrate of magnesium sulfate (meridianiite) is likely to occur a major rock-forming mineral in the interiors of large icy satellites such as Ganymede, Callisto and...

BiFeO3 is a canonical multiferroic material. We know that local (nanoscale) order is crucial in explaining the behaviour of conventional ferroelectrics, and reciprocal space...

Orientationally-disordered water molecules in ice adopt a degree of partial order upon cooling, a process that is halted by kinetics at ~100 K in pure ice and ~60 K in KOH-doped...

Cerium based Ce2MX3 (M = d-electron element, X is a p-electron metal) Kondo lattice systems has received considerable attention due to its exotic magnetic ground states such as...

The defect thiospinel, GeV4S8 adopts a cubic structure at room temperature (space group F-43m). We have identified a new monoclinic phase of this material at 2K, which may be...

Many believe that the magnetic excitations of cuprate high temperature superconductors play an important role in the material's superconductivity. Understanding the magnetic...

This proposal aims at better understanding the role of the disordered NH4+ ions in driving the ferroelectric transition in [NH4][Zn(HCOO)3] and that of hydrogen bonding in...

YbAgGe has an enhanced electronic specific heat coefficient and two magnetic phase transitions at TM1=0.8K and TM2=0.65K. We have grown a series of TbxYb1-xAgGe and YbAgGe...

The reaction of Ni(6-Mes)(PPh3)Br (6-Mes = bis(1,3-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene) with 2.5 equivalents of NaBH4 leads to formation of product characterised as...

A reliable spectroscopic assignment of the high-frequency proton modes in CsH2PO4 (CDP) is possible only within the framework of the fully ordered proton, low-temperature P21...

This proposal seeks to investigate the effect of temperature on the structures of thallium and caesium azide. High-resolution neutron powder diffraction data are necessary to...

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....

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...
