Solving the antiferromagnetic structure of Gd3Al5O12.
This proposal would like to map the diffraction patterns of Gd3Al5Gd12 (GAG) using the high flux diffraction instrument WISH. It is of great interest to solve the magnetic... -
uSR Study of the Non-Centrosymmetric Superconductor a- BiPd
In this proposal we plan to continue our investigation into the non-centrosymmetric superconductor a-BiPd. In our earlier experiments this material has shown some surprising... -
Spin-waves in GdPtBi
In the proposed experiment we intend to resolve the spin waves in GdPtBi, which is an outstanding representative of a novel class of magnets - topological antiferromagnets. In... -
Understanding Structural Changes in Amorphous Solid Water (ASW) on Heating
This experiment will establish the structural changes that occur in Amorphous Solid Water (ASW) prior to the process of pore collapse or crystallisation. We will study the... -
Search for a structural distortion in the AF pyrochlore magnet Gd2Ti2O7
Previous neutron studies of powdered Gd2Ti2O7 (GTO) have shown that despite it relative simplicity as an s-state Heisenberg antiferromagnet, the magnetic structure is a fairly... -
Interaction of sugars and a model peptide
We propose to perform a NDIS experiments at the SANDALS diffractometer at T = 300 K on 7 aqueous solutions of NMA and trehalose and NMA and glucose, aimed at investigating the... -
Probing Low Dimensional Magnetism in Lanthanide Formate Magnetocalorics
Low dimensional magnetism provides a crucial playground for the discovery and exploitation of unconventional behaviour. Coordination frameworks have a tendency to adopt highly... -
Resolving the manifold setting structure of protiated vs D2O portland cements
Models of cement have been formulated to further understanding. The dominant being Jennings layered colloid model. Therein, idealised silicate layers are interspersed with... -

Field effect of the magnetic ground state in a triangular-lattice magnet
Rare-earth frustrated magnets have attracted great interest because they can form rather complex ground states such as hidden order phases, the order parameters of which cannot... -
Understanding Deep Earth Mineralogy: A High P/T study of CaSiO3 Perovskite
CaSiO3 perovskite is the third most abundant mineral in the Earth's lower mantle; it also occurs as a major phase at lower pressures and temperatures in subduction zones, where,... -
The quest for the hydrogen-disordered counterpart of ice II
Water displays a highly complex phase diagram that is key to a range of critical processes, from the evolution of icy moons to that of the Earth's hydrosphere and even of life... -
Crystal field and spin-wave excitations in the quasi-2D honeycomb zigzag anti...
The microscopic origin of the zigzag magnetic ground state in a honeycomb lattice of the quasi-2D antiferromagnet Na2Co2TeO6 is debatable. The zigzag phase may occur due to (i)... -
Self-assembly of lipid and triblock copolymer-based amphiphiles for drug deli...
Soft self-assembled structures have been extensively used as drug nanocarriers. Their building blocks, naturally occurring and synthetic amphiphiles (lipids or block... -
Pressure induced softening in ScF3
Recently we have suggested that negative thermal expansion materials will also show an effect called pressure-induced softening, where shown that the elastic stiffness is... -
Low Temperature Magnetic Structure of Doped Iridate Sr2Ir0.5Rh0.5O4
There is a significant interest in the electronic and magnetic properties of the layered iridates owing to the variety of potential exotic phases of matter they exhibit. In... -
Studies of the new S=1/2 triangular lattice spin liquid kappa-ET2Ag2(CN)3 (MUSR)
A new member of the class of S=1/2 triangular lattice quantum spin liquids will be studied with muons. It is obtained by replacing Cu with Ag in the original compound... -
Quantum dots with deuterated oleic acid shells and their functionalisation wi...
Our research aims to develop plastic films that change the colour of the light that passes through them, not by absorbing certain wavelengths of light, as a simple colour filter... -
Investigation of Magnetic Ground State of Hexagonal Rare-Earth Ferrites by µSR
This experiment is focused on exploring and harnessing magnetic ground state of the multiferroic materials, with particular emphasis on the hexagonal (h), rare-earth ferrites... -
Local dipole formation in thermoelectric PbTe and SnTe: symmetry of high-temp...
A promising family of thermoelectrics is based on rocksalt structured PbTe. To explain the thermal conductivity at high temperatures it is necessary to understand why the lead...
