From giant magneto-elastic coupling to negative thermal expansion
We recently used high-resolution neutron diffraction on HRPD to observe the largest magneto-elastic coupling ever seen in a metallic magnet. The material studied was CoMnSi, a... -
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 Excitations in Chromium
Chromium is unique amongst the d-band elemental metals in that it has a spin density wave ground state. The spin density wave is caused by Fermi surface nesting between electron... -
PDF study of the structural disorder in a quantum spin liquid candidate
We have identified a potential quantum spin liquid by tuning the magnetic interactions on a square lattice through d10-d0 cation mixing. MuSR shows dynamic magnetism down to... -
High frequency optic-like mode and vibrational density of states in ionic liq...
We propose a comparative study of the high-frequency optic-like mode and Boson peak modes observed in the vibrational density of states (DOS) in the glass phase of the two model... -
Investigation of the low temperature phases of SrSnO3
The present proposal is to examine the low temperature structural properties of SrSnO3 using the HRPD. This work aims to examine the structural basis for the unusual low... -
Resubmission of: The Dynamics of Paraquat in Aqueous Solution and Hydrated Clay
This proposal will enable us to study the dynamics of an important water soluble pesticide molecule, paraquat, in solution and in the interlayer region of swelling... -
Structure, thermal expansion and vibrational properties of ammonium bicarbona...
Ammonium carbonates, sensu lato, have relevance to carbon capture schemes and as potential hydrogen storage materials. These compounds occur on Earth as minerals and, since... -
Stress-induced martensitic transformations in single crystal Ni2MnGa ferromag...
The Heusler alloys Ni-Mn-Ga are widely considered as a new generation of multifunctional smart materials due to the mutual interplay between structural and magnetic properties... -
Phase Separation in NaTaO3. Can it be controlled by pressure?
The present proposal seeks to establish the pressure dependence of the Pbnm-Cmcm transition in NaTaO3 and some doped variants thereof. It aims to understand the understand the... -
Investigations of amorphous pharmaceutical materials produced from different ...
Pharmaceuticals are usually formulated in the crystalline state for obvious reasons of stability. They may also exist in a disordered and less cohesive state i.e. amorphous... -

Water Binding and Solvent Dynamics in Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents
Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) are molecular mixtures similar to ionic liquids, having melting points below room temperature. However instead of being composed of a salt, the... -
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... -
Configurational and displacive disorder in the cubic NTE material Cd(CN)2
Cubic cadmium(II) cyanide shows the most pronounced isotropic NTE effect known, with behaviour more than twice as extreme as that of better known materials such as ZrW2O8. This... -
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... -
Temperature Effects in YIG Films Probed by PNR
Yttrium iron garnet Fe3Y5O12 (YIG) is the material of choice for spin Hall related effects, magnonics, inter alia and has been used in microwave applications for many years.... -
Polycarbonate and tetramethyl bisphenol A polycarbonate
The miscibility of polycarbonates (PC) with polystyrene (PS) appears to be closely related to chain dynamics. Among all polycarbonates, tetramethyl bisphenol-A polycarbonate... -
Exploring Structural and Spin Orders in the Quantum Spin Liquid Candidate Znx...
Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) are intriguing states of matter in which magnetic frustration and strong quantum fluctuations prevent classical long-range magnetic order. To date,... -
Spin excitations in La2CoO4
We will use MAPS to measure the complete spin excitation spectrum of the quasi-two-dimensional S=3/2 antiferromagnet La2CoO4. The measurement is motivated by recent observations...
