Continued studies of the temperature-pressure phase diagram of BiFeO3
Bismuth ferrite is the most widely studied multiferroic material primarily due to the observation of both room temperature magnetic and electric ordering. Despite extensive... -
Understanding the Pressure Response in Amines: Weak hydrogen-bonding vs Non-b...
Methylamines are an ideal chemical system to study in order to understand the effects of steric bulk and competing non-bonding interactions on hydrogen bonding at the networks... -
Solid state phase transformations at very high temperature in a martensitic s...
Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is a technique of Additive Manufacturing of metallic parts. There are still several barriers of acceptance of that process in the industry and... -
High-pressure studies of energetic co-crystals
This proposal will explore the effects of elevated pressures and temperatures on the structures of two energetic co-crystals - [CL-20:TNT] and nitroguanidine:nitropyridone.... -
Self-assembly of polymer-stabilised cyclopeptide nanotubes
SANS will be used to determine the structure of nanotube dispersions formed by H-bond stacking of cyclopeptides coated with a sheath of stabilizing polymer. Cyclopeptide... -
Coining dies of the Stuart Age (1603-1714)
We propose to analyse 13 coining dies used at the Royal Mint during the 17th century: nine held in the Royal Mint Museum, three in the Museum of London and one in the British... -
Phase evolution in the transition from epsilon to gamma glycine
Glycine, the simplest naturally-occurring amino acid, exhibits unusually extensive phase diversity. Three polymorphs are known under ambient conditions. Each shows different... -
Residual stress characterization of laser formed aluminium plates using neutr...
Laser forming is a novel manufacturing technique used to form metal sheet into complex geometries. The process is based on the introduction of thermal stress including plastic... -
High-pressure studies of energetic co-crystals and salts
This proposal will explore the effects of elevated pressures and temperatures on the structures of an energetic co-crystal [CL-20:0.5 HMX] and an energetic salt containing... -
Biomolecular Cryoprotection in Deep Eutectic Solvents
Protecting biomolecules, such as proteins and enzymes, from the effects of cooling and freezing is important for the storage and handling of pharmaceuticals. Deep eutectic... -
Inelastic neutron scattering in the Ce3Co4Sn13 heavy Fermion compound
We propose to use the OSIRIS spectrometer to measure the inelastic magnetic scattering on the newly discovered heavy Fermion compound Ce3Co4Sn13. This compound has one of the... -
Magnons and electromagnons in a magnetic field induced collinear commensurate...
In this proposal, we would like to suggest inelastic neutron scattering measurement on a single-crystal sample of a frustrated antiferromagnet CuFeO2 under applied magnetic... -
Autoxidation vs. Ozonolysis of Surfactant Mixtures Containing Poly-unsaturate...
Surface-active molecules with water-loving and water-hating parts have been found to contribute substantially to the man-made urban aerosol load originating from cooking... -
Understanding oxygen-muonium interaction in liquid water
Dissolved molecular oxygen in solution depolarizes muonium because ground-state molecular oxygen has triplet electrons and is paramagnetic. People normally remove them from... -
Structural and Magnetic Properties of New Pb2FeTeOx Phases
Pb2FeMO6 phases are of interest as potential multiferroics. We have prepared a new non-centrosymmetric pyrochlore-derived structure containing anion vacancy ordering... -
Low Temperature Magnetic, Thermoelastic and Structural Behaviour of Antiferro...
We propose to study the low temperature structural and magnetic changes in three clinopyroxene phases FeGeO3, CaNiSi2O6 and CaCoSi2O6. All three phases order... -
Spin and cation order in AMn3B4O12 perovskites
A-site-ordered perovskite oxides with formula AA'3B4O12 have a rich variety of physical and chemical properties. Most have Jahn-Teller active Cu2+ or Mn3+ at the square-planar... -
Towards the Calibration of Chemical Pressure
The application of hydrostatic pressure allows the precise tuning of atomic separations, which control electronic structure and virtually all the interatomic interactions that... -
Pressure-Tuning Interactions in Spin-Crossover Metal-Organic Frameworks
The magnetism of spin-crossover (SCO) materials containing Fe(II) can be switched by changing conditions. The low-spin state existing at low temperature or high pressure can be... -
Understanding the role of strain and applied field in the metamagnetic transi...
FeRh exhibits a fascinating structural and magnetic transition from room temperature antiferromagnetism to ferromagnetism at higher temperatures. This complex transition is...
