BiFeO3 (BFO) is the model and most promising multiferroic material as both ferroelectric and magnetic orders coexist at room temperature. In order to exploit his functionalities...

We wish to construct a spectrometer on the Larmor instrument capable of resolving very small energy transfers between the neutron and the sample. To achieve this we will use a...

The physical properties of the post-perovskite phase of MgSiO3 control the dynamics of the lower thermal boundary layer of the Earth¿s mantle, but many of these properties...

Following our previous study of adsorption of globular lysozyme and BSA, we continue to explore how different globular proteins adsorb at the oil/water interface by neutron...

In recent years nanogels show great potential as drug delivery systems. Especially dermal drug administration which is non-invasive, helps to avoid the first-pass effect with...

After initial and secondary oil recovery up to 50% of the oil can be left behind in the reservoir. Various enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques can be applied to improve the...

We intend to use neutron diffraction and x-ray diffraction to investigate the structure of potassium and barium iron phosphate glasses, which are potential candidate systems for...

We wish to perform neutron diffraction measurements on glass samples of SiO2 and 30CaO.70SiO2 containing both natural oxygen and 18O. The oxygen scattering lengths are almost...

Palladium is able to dissociative absorb large quantities of hydrogen, reversibly. However, the formation and relative proportion of different phases of palladium hydride, and...

We propose to carry out in-situ neutron diffractometry on testpieces of a latest-generation single crystal superalloy. This work is in support of current EPSRC projects...

Residual stresses introduced into large aerospace aluminium components after the queching procedure carried out to form the desired microstructure can result in large, costly...

The object of this experiment is to search for the structural origin of the intermediate phase by making careful measurements of the structure of glassy Ge-Se which is a...

Neutron diffraction offers one of the most interesting and meaningful methods for non destructive quantitative determination of the phase composition of materials. However, it...

For total diffraction measurements using neutrons it is important to correct the data for inelasticity effects, especially for samples containing light atoms. Conventionally...

In the framework of the PANAREA project, aiming to the development of new instruments for neutron imaging on TS2, the determination of geometric, optic, electronic, and aging...

It has recently be demonstrated, through diamond-anvil cell experiments, that it may be possible for methane to be formed within the inner Earth through transformation reactions...

This proposal will explore the effect of elevated pressure on the 3,4,5-Trinitropyrazole (TNP). TNP releases a large amount of dinitrogen gas as a detonation product which is...

FeF2 is a conversion reaction material that undergoes a reaction with lithium: FeF2+2Li++2e-<->2LiF+Fe, which results in a high theoretical capacity, 571 mA/g....

Tellurite glasses exhibit strong non-linear properties which are related to the asymmetric environment of the Te atom. The non-linear optical effects are strongest when the Te...

The rise of quantum materials observed in the past decades has been a source of great excitement for condensed matter scientists, with the flourishing of new concepts and...
