Our proposal is to use neutron total scattering on GEM to study framework flexibility and the phenomenology of the displacive phase transition in the cyanide-containing...

This proposal is part of a project based on understanding the formation of gels in suspensions of partially oxidised cellulose nanofibrils and small amounts of additives, such...

The efficiency of silicon solar cells is limited to 29%. One possible way of breaking this limit uses a process called singlet fission, converting a high energy photon into two...

Recent SAXS measurements have indicated that CO2 can dramatically swell the surfactant layer in w/o microemulsions formed in CO2-swollen oils and also enhance solubilisation...

Cation-vacancy sheelite-type phases in the Ca1-3xBi2x[]xMoO4 system (where [] represents a cation vacancy) are being investigated for applications in wireless communication...

In the spin Seebeck effect (SSE), a temperature gradient generates a pure spin current in a ferromagnet. The magnetic insulator yttrium iron garnet Y3Fe5O12 (YIG) covered with a...

BaTiO3 is the prototypical ferroelectic perovskite and has been well studied for over 60 years. The standard structural picture is that it is cubic and paraelectric at high...

We propose to investigate the interplay of magnetic and structural properties in the multiferroic PbFe1/2Nb1/2O3 (PFN). PFN is the magnetic analogue of the archetypal lead based...

Magnetic cooling is a reliable technique for refrigeration, however, understanding of fundamental science and materials is essential for utilizing the technique fully. Fe2P is...

Quantum phase transitions have recently received a lot of interest in various different fields of physics and the emergent universal properties have been studied in very...

TiCoSb based half-Heusler compositions are of interest as p-type elements in thermoelectric waste heat recovery. We have found unexpected n-type behaviour in the title...

This rapid access proposal is aimed at investigating the local cationic and anionic environments of a model Li-rich layered oxide, Li1.2Mn0.6Ni0.2O2 (LNMO), through neutron and...

The aim of this proposal is to investigate in the methodology of Deep Inelastic Neutron Scattering (DINS) data analysis, with especial emphasis in the absolute normalisation of...

Oxygen nonstoichiometry (d) of perovskite-type Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-d (BSCF) was recently studied by combination of TGA, coulometric titration and neutron diffraction (ND)....

Recent studies of short side chain(SSC) polymers used in fuel cells have shown that they have higher conductivity and better structural properties than Nafion, the commercially...

A better understanding of the magnetic excitation spectrum of LuFe2O4 is required to refine current models of the magnetoelectric coupling in this novel "electronic"...

Coupling ferromagnatism and ferroelectriocity in a single phase material at or near room temperature has significant potential for the development of hybrid memory combining the...

Polyurethane foams (PUFs) are commonly prepared by mixing Pluronic type copolymers and isocyanate reactive monomers in the presence of additives e.g. catalysts, blowing agent...

Internally supported liposomes (ISLs) are composed of polymeric spheres enclosed by liposomes. Although very little research has been done on ISLs, understanding their...

The high-pressure form of solid water, ice III, is the equilibrium phase in contact with liquid water at pressures from about 2.0 - 3.5 kbar. Consequently, its properties are...
