Structural study of BiNiO3 at high pressures and low temperatures
BiNiO3, synthesized at high pressure, has the unusual charge distribution Bi3+0.5Bi5+0.5Ni2+O3 with ordering of Bi3+ and Bi5+ charges on the A sites of a highly distorted... -
Structural distortions and magnetism in the layered oxide sulfide Sr2MnO2Cu1.5S2
This proposal aims to exploit the superior flux on the upgraded HRPD coupled with the intrinsic high resolution to correlate the magnetic structure and the crystal structure of... -
Studies of Muon-Beam-Induced currents in semi-imsulating GaAs
This proposal is a continuation of our recent proposal RB 610004 where this partcurrent measurements) was not completed due to the reduced beam intensity. Currents experiment... -
Spin Coherent Transport in Organic Spin-Valves
We have recently performed a `proof-of-principle' Low Energy Muon Spin Rotation experiment on an organic spin valve. In an extension to our muon measurements and an attempt to... -
Test experiment: Neutron diffraction on helium in silica
We request 3 days of beamtime on GEM to attempt to perform neutron diffraction on helium inside vitreous SiO2. Significant amounts of helium can be dissolved into the glass... -
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... -
Interaction of muonium centres and excess carriers in highly injected silicon
We have developed a method to measure carrier recombination lifetime in crystalline silicon with the photo-muSR technique. The key of the method is to measure the dependence of... -
Isotope dependence of the Néel Temperature in cuprates
The effect of isotope exchange on the Néel temperature in the cuprates was neer determined because it was impossible to perform relaible isotope exchanges in the parent... -
Nucleid Acids in Solution
The aim of the experiment is investigate some nucleid acids to provide us with information about the size and shape when is dispersed in a solvent, so in a future studies to be... -
Magnetic structure of pyrochlore irridate Y2Ir2O7
We propose to study by powder neutron diffraction the ordered magnetic state of the pyrochlore compound Y2Ir2O7. There is currently an increasing interest in the condensed... -
Magnetism in novel organic/inorganic hybrid spin-valve nanostructures.
We request 5 days (15 shifts) with CRISP to perform specular measurements on novel functionalized SrTiO3(substrate)/complex FM oxide/small molecules/ FM metal nanostructures to... -
Copy of: Abiogenic origin of methane: a neutron diffraction study
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... -
Self-Organisation of Phospholipids on Au Electrodes
This experiment is part of a programme to study the effect of applied electric fields on the structure of biomimetic films formed at Au electrodes, with emphasis on... -
RF-muSR in the gas phase: the muoniated ethyl radical
Radio-frequency muon spin resonance is an exceptional technique for studying free radicals, but it has not been applied to study radicals in the gas phase. In a previous... -
The Influence of Post-Quench Delay on the Residual Stresses in Cold Compresse...
Residual stresses introduced into large aerospace aluminium components after the queching procedure carried out to form the desired microstructure can result in large, costly... -
Investigation of magnetic defects in exfoliated graphite
Graphene has recently received widespread attention, after the discovery of its stability as a 2Dcrystal at ambient conditions and thanks to a wealth of possible applications.... -
Neutron reflection from 3He layer adsorbed on liquid 4He surface
More than four decades ago A. F. Andreev predicted theoretically the existence of quantum states of 3He atoms on free surface of liquid 4He . In other words, at low... -
