Determination of type-2 cycloidal ordering in BiFeO3 thin films
Multiferroics have recently aroused a large interest in the community, opening the route to promising applications especially in spintronics. Among multiferroics, BiFeO3 (BFO)... -
In situ Investigation of the Locations of Gas Molecules within a Decorated Po...
In the coming year, we plan to build upon the success of last cycle by carrying out more hydrocarbon studies of this porous material NOTT-300 and one of its iso-structural... -

Tracking CO2-mineralisation to magnesite and eco-cements
Magnesite is essential to fertilizer, paper, glass, construction; most recently as eco-cement, at Mt-Gt scales. Mg2+ sources are plentiful recoverable via mineral carbonation of... -
Nature of the ground state of Dy2Ti2O7 spin ice
Spin ice (SI) is a state of matter characterized by a residual (Pauling) entropy and unusual correlations. The huge interest in SI materials from the magnetism community stems... -
Vibrational properties of Vanadium and Zirconium based metal hydrides
Inelastic neutron scattering has proven to be reliable tool to investigate the phonon structure of hydrides. E.g., it was shown that the vibrational structure of Ca(BH4)2 has a... -
Study of alcohols by Transmission and Deep Inelastic Neutron Scattering measu...
Many of the structural and dynamical properties of alcohols are due to the existence of intermolecular hydrogen bonds. It is of general interest the study of their dynamic and... -
Protein Adsorption at the PDMS Oil/Water Interface
Neutron reflection has been successfully used to measure the conformation of proteins adsorbed at the oil/water interface. However, in several such experiments, hexadecane has... -
Nuclear and magnetic structure determination of Ni-Mn-(In-Sn) Heusler alloys
The aim of the present proposal is to relate the macroscopic magnetic properties with the nuclear and magnetic structure of a series of Ni48Mn36In16-xSnx Heusler alloys. These... -
In-situ high-resolution study of the Pd-D2 system after passage over the ther...
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... -
30 T High Magnetic Field Neutron Diffraction on Multi-ferroic TbMnO3
The main target of the proposal is to determine the magnetic phase diagram of multi-ferroic compound TbMnO3 in extremely high magnetic fields around 30 T by using a pulsed... -
Magnetism and electronic structure of 3d 5d double perovskites
Emerging technologies require increasingly unusual functional materials and so understanding the origins of complex magnetic and electronic behaviour, and how these can be... -
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... -
INS studies with MAPS of Nafion and model compounds
In the archetypal hydrogenoxygen proton exchange membrane fuel cell design, a proton-conducting polymer membrane (typically Nafion) contains the electrolyte solution that... -
Neutron reflection studies on model wax films reconstituted from chemicals
Morphological features of plant waxes vary from species to species, but little is understood about what controls these morphological changes although it is widely believed that... -
Crystal and magnetic structures of EuWO1+xN2-x
Eu2+ d0- transition metal perovskites are of interest as potential multiferroics when undoped, or as CMR materials. EuWO1+xN2-x is a new magnetoresistive material and exists... -
Neutronic Studies to Assess New Materials for Optimized Inverted Geometry Spe...
We request 7 days on VESUVIO to evaluate the neutronic performance of several materials used in inverted-geometry neutron spectrometers. In particular, we are interested in... -
Stress-induced martensitic transformations in single crystal Ni2MnGa ferromag...
The Heusler alloys Ni-Mn-Ga are widely considered as a new generation of multifunctional smart materials due to the mutual interplay between structural and magnetic properties... -
Molecular weight dependence of 2D-confined dynamics in glass-forming systems
We seek to explore the dynamics of glass forming systems upon extreme 2D-confinement. These experiments are motivated by preliminary experiments on oligomers and macromolecules... -
