YbPd crystallizes in the cubic CsCl-type structure and reported to have magnetically ordered ground state with the mixed valence of the Yb ion. Further, it under goes through...

The battery material LixCoO2 has recently been shown to have high thermopower comparable to NaxCoO2 at high x. In the case of NaxCoO2 we showed using neutron Laue diffraction on...

The compound proposed for this study is an interesting example of how strongly spectroscopic properties of pyrene derivatives in the solid state can depend on the crystal...

We propose to measure the neutron diffraction pattern of a single crystal sample of SrEr2O4, using the WISH diffractometer. As the magnetic Er ions in this compound are linked...

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,...

The competitive diffusion of components of the zeolite catalysed methanol to dimethyl ether (DME) process will be investigated using quasi-elastic neutron scattering. The...

This experiment will investigate three related systems which contain copper deficient anti-fluorite-type copper sulfide layers. The overall aim is to correlate magnetic and...

NOx emissions from the energy and transport sectors represent a major hazard to human health and this has been the focus of significant industrial and academic research. One...

The magnetism of double perovskites can be amazingly sensitive to subtle distortions of their structures. Previous studies have shown that Ca2NiOsO6 is a ferrimagnet, Sr2NiOsO6...

BiFeO3 is the most widely studied multiferroic and rare earth doping overcomes problems associated with phase metastability and leakage which have hampered applications. We...

Ba3BiIr2O9 and Ba3BiRu2O9 undergo very unusual structural transitions at 74 and 176 K respectively, with instantaneous negative thermal expansion of up to 1% in the Ir compound....

Ammonia Borane (AB), NH3BH3, was first synthesised in the 1950s and has now become the focus of a world wide research program with regards to its potential as a hydrogen store....

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

The long period cycloid in multiferroic BiFeO3 influences the potential applications of this material and it has been shown that doping (with La and Mn) enlarges the cycloid...

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...

Carbon blacks can be graphitised to different degrees, whereas glassy (vitreous) carbons, which are used as electrode material, in electronics and construction, and as...

This proposal is to probe the structure and magnetic ordering in Sr2CrO2Fe2As2 and Sr2CrO2Co2As2, in order to complete a description of trends in the Cr sublattice magnetic...

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

Oil is currently the primary raw material for all the carbon containing chemicals we take for granted and which are necessary for our modern life: pharmaceuticals, plastics,...

Propene plays an important role in various petro-chemical applications, such as the production of polypropylene and acrylic acid, but is dependent on the fluctuating prices of...
