This proposal is concerned with determining variations in the high pressure structure of LaCoO3 and observing changes within this as the material undergoes some well...

Our previous HRPD experiment on the Pd-D2 system resolved the long-standing controversy over the occupation of T interstitial sites by D, showing that T sites are occupied owing...

In our research programme the overall goal is to explore and characterise the multiscale deformation in a high-strength ferritic power plant steel (P91/P92). A micromechanical...

Herein we propose the investigation of intermediate compounds obtained during the decomposition of the multicomponent system 2 LiBH4: MgH2 using ex-situ deep inelastic neutron...

Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) are molecular mixtures with melting points below room temperature. DES share many features of ionic liquids (low vapour pressure, adjustable...

We wish to measure the partial dynamical structure factors and the partial vibrational density of states (VDOS) for the archetypal network forming glass GeSe2 by using the...

The two main pillars of the current research in molecular magnetism are the possibilities of exploiting molecules as classical bits in high-density magnetic memories or as...

Rare earth pyrochlores R2T2O7 have attracted attention because of the wide range of interesting and unusual magnetic behavior they present, in particular the observation of...

Silver nanoparticles have been shown to have strong antimicrobial effects against many organisms, including those resistant to conventional antibiotics. However, the exact...

Our previous experiment (RB910492) aimed to determine reaction rate constants for muon with Vitamins C and E, thus providing a measure of their relative antioxidant capacities....

Surface-active molecules with water-loving and water-hating parts have been found to contribute substantially to the man-made urban aerosol load originating from cooking...

There is considerable interest in understanding the magnetoelectric effect with the aim of developing technological applications. Until recently this has been limited to...

We propose additional Muon Spectroscopy of Excite States (MuSES) measurements on TiO${2}$ to investigate Mu dynamics and low temperature Mu$^{0}$-like states in TiO${2}$ under...

Surfactant-silica self-assembly processes have been extensively studied since the discovery of M41S mesoporous materials in 1992. Mesoporous silicate films can be grown from...

We propose a study of Mu dynamics and the low temperature Mu$^0$-like states in TiO$_{2}$ under near-IR illumination to investigate the resulting excitonic states and behaviour....

Complex ruthenium oxides offer a variety of exotic electronic states, such as spin-triplet superconductivity, metal-insulator transition and spin-orbital ordering. We discovered...

We request 5 days on NIMROD to characterise the pressure and temperature dependent properties of amorphous icy particles generated in liquid ethane, as they will be used in...

We will perform direct laser spectroscopy to measure the ionisation energy of muon defect levels in a semiconductor - specifically silicon carbide. We should see a broad...

Photocrystallography is an important technique in modern structural chemistry. The most recent and impressive developments of this technique in "small molecule" crystallography...

Small gel molecules which can change their properties in response to, for example temperature are important for applications such as drug delivery through the skin. In order to...
