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 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....

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 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...

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

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...

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....

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

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

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...

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...

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...

We wish to perform muon spectroscopic experiments on materials from two ceramic systems that are of interest for possible solid electrolyte applications in lithium-ion battery...

Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs) are emerging as low-cost and environment-friendly solvents for industrial process. DESs are formed by the association of a hydrogen bond-capable...

Hydrogen storage is one of the most important technological issues to be resolved in the move towards a future sustainable hydrogen-based economy. We would like to gain further...

The electron donor molecule BEDT-TTF (ET) provides a versatile building block for constructing molecular metals, superconductors, magnets and quantum spin liquids. A common...
