Are ice particles in the laboratory "good" analogues for collision studies of...
With the discovery of almost 3000 exo-planets it is clear that planet formation is a by-product of star formation, yet in the micron cm size range, where relative velocities... -
Correlated local structure distortions in the family of high-temperature supe...
This proposal follows from a short previous test experiment (RB 920345) aimed at understanding the nature of local structure distortions in YBa2Cu3O6.9 and their possible role... -
Geometrical frustration induced quantum phase transition in CeRh1-xPdxSn: Ine...
The quasi-kagome Kondo lattice CeRhSn exhibits intriguing properties, which ascribe to quantum criticality induced by geometrical frustration. Divergent Grüneisen ratios provide... -
First experiment with a pulsed field magnet at ISIS or how to break the 15T b...
We propose to use a pulsed magnet system tried and tested at several neutron and synchrotron facilities in conjunction with the new high flux diffractometer WISH to perform the... -
Structures and magnetism of chemical and electrochemical deintercalates of la...
We propose to use OSIRIS to investigate the changes in magnetic ordering which occur when a series of layered oxysulfides with mixed-valent Mn ions in their oxide layers are... -
Tracking spring-type motions in inorganic helices
Materials with helical and double helical structure motifs are prone to display fascinating spring-type behaviour, i.e. a shallow energy surface along the spring-axis in which... -
Spin excitations in Na0.44MnO2
We propose to measure the spin fluctuations in Na0.44MnO2 using the MARI chopper spectrometer. Na0.44MnO2 is derived from alpha-NaMnO2 and is a tunnelled structure. Preliminary... -
Magnetic structure of a new quantum magnet
SrCuTe2O6 is a quantum magnet featuring spin-1/2 magnetic ions that are coupled intoantiferromagnetic chains with frustrated interchain coupling. An ideal... -
Exploring grain - ice mantle interactions and dynamics for the extraterrestri...
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), a wide class of organic molecules with multiply fused aromatic rings, are ubiquitous in the interstellar medium. In the condensed phase... -
QENS OF HUMAN HAIR: EVALUATION OF WATER DYNAMICS IN HAIR SAMPLES SUBJECTED TO...
Human hair has been studied by x-ray diffraction and electron microscopy for many years, however a complete picture of its structure is still missing. Hair is a weakly... -
Probing the magnetic structure of transition metal pyrovanadates M2V2O7 (M = ...
Transition metal pyrovanadate M2V2O7 (M = Ni, Co, Mn) exist with a great variety of crystal structures, which are reflected in the richness of their physical properties.... -
Study on the effect of polymer dynamics to the transport properties and macro...
We use inorganic nanoparticles grafted with polymers as membranes for gas separation. These membranes show remarkable enhancement in permeability as compared to the bulk... -
Inelastic Neutron Scattering Study on the onset of Ferromagnetism in Y-Ni Bas...
Y-Ni based compounds are quite interesting materials as far as their magnetic ground states are concerned. As a function of Y concentration, the compounds show both weak... -
Compressibility and Tilting of Polyhedra within Sr2NiMoO6 at High Pressure
Ordered double perovskites (also known as elpasolites) have the general formula A2BBO6 where A is generally a rare earth metal or alkaline earth metal and where B and B are... -
INS study of the exchange couplings and magnetic anisotropies in Ni(II), Mn(I...
SQUID magnetometry is the first and most trivial step when studying magnetic systems. However reliable conclusions can only be made in cases of very simple systems. When the...
