Inelastic Neutron Scattering and Raman spectroscopy on 2,2-Paracyclophane
[2,2]-Paracyclophane, C16H16, is a small molecule containing both sp2 and sp3 hybridized carbon atoms. Despite of its apparent simplicity, its solid state structure and... -
Spin-Lattice coupling in Frustrated Triangular Lattice Antiferromagnet AFeO2 ...
In this proposal, we would like to propose to perform neutron diffraction experiments on the powder samples of the frustrated antiferromagnets AFeO2 (A=Cu and Ag) using WISH. In... -
Spin excitations in the paramagnetic phase of a charge-ordered bilayered mang...
In a previous experiment we measured the spin wave spectrum of the half-doped bilayer manganite Pr(Ca,Sr)2Mn2O7 in its spin, charge and orbital ordered phase. The data, which... -
Two-Dimensional Triangular Mott Insulator
The 1T polytype of the transition-metal dichalchogenide TaS2 is a system with a very rich phase diagram. Upon cooling down, the crystal goes through a series of charge density... -
The Origin of Anelastic Creep Behaviour
Nuclear power generation plants undergo start-up/shut-down load-temperature cycles during normal service operation. Components operating at temperatures in the creep regime can... -
Diamond anvil cell for a combined X-ray and neutron diffraction study of glycine
High pressure is a powerful thermodynamic tool, like temperature, to vary the properties and structure of materials. X-ray and neutron diffraction can be used to measure certain... -
Excitation spectrum of the frustrated spinel GeCo2O4
The spinel GeCo2O4 is a promising compound to establish the consequences of geometrical frustration, as the magnetic Co2+ ions are on a network of corner-sharing tetrahedra... -
Exploring the Magnetic Behaviour of New S = 1/2 Vanadium Oxyfluoride Kagome A...
Quantum spin liquid (QSL) states emerge when the arrangement of magnetic moments in a material frustrates magnetic interactions and low spin magnetic moments allow for strong... -
Pressure effect on magnetic orderings in multiferroic frustrated triangular l...
We propose to perform neutron diffraction experiments on a powder sample of the frustrated triangular lattice antiferromagnets α-NaFeO2 under high-pressure up to 18 kbar... -
Order/disorder and phase transitions in the OLED material Alq3
We propose to measure the pair distribution function of the organic light emitting material Alq3 focussing on the structure of one disordered crystalline phase and its... -
Anion disorder in La2LiHO3
The arrangement of atoms in a solid, its crystal structure, is of key importance for its chemical and physical properties. This includes type of atoms are present, their... -
Hidden patterns in Indian sword blades
One of our long-term aims is a detailed study of Oriental Arms & Armour in the Wallace Collection, London (which has over one thousand items, and is the most important... -
Influence of lattice misfit on interphase load partitioning at high temperatu...
Fe-Al alloys strengthened by coherent phases are designed for high-temperature (HT) applications in thermal power plants. Lattice misfit (LM) between phases plays an important... -
Neutron PDF Analysis of Solid Methylaluminoxane as an Activating Catalyst Sup...
Methylaluminoxane (MAO) is the most commonly used activator and co-catalyst for transition metal complexes in olefin polymerisation reactions. Despite its widespread use, there... -
Interphase load partitioning during deformation of Ni-Cr-Al-Ti-Mo alloys
In this study, in-situ tensile testing will be used to determine the degree of load partitioning that occurs between the gamma and gamma prime phases in a series of model... -
Dynamics and Phase Transitions in Catanionic Vesicles
The catanionic vesicles are unilamellar or multilamellar spheroid structure composed of cationic and anionic surfactant molecules assembled into bilayers. Vesicles forms by... -
Local structure of liquid gallium-iodine and gallium-indium
Liquid metal alloys, with liquidus temperatures close to room temperature, are a rapidly developing research area with novel applications in renewable energy, catalysis,... -
MuSR detection of optically-injected spin-polarized electrons in Silicon
Silicon is currently the base of all modern electronics and advanced computing. One route to future advanced computing called spintronics exploits the energy saving and quantum... -
In situ diffraction studies of cathode materials for Li ion batteries
Li-ion batteries are interesting because they offer high power and, as a consequence, they are preferred to aqueous-based batteries for traction applications e.g. hybrid... -
