Cation Ordering and Magnetic Properties of Layered Tellurides
We have prepared a new non-stoichiometric series Cr2-xInxGe2Te6. X-ray diffraction data can be indexed on the rhombohedral unit cell of the end-member (x=0) phase. This adopts a... -
The nature of the Ferroelectric Phase in CdTiO3
The aim of the present proposal is to establish the structure of the ferroelectric phase of CdTiO3 and to determine the nature of the ferroelectric-paraelectric phase... -
Does elastic twinning play a role in the thermal expansion behaviour of polyc...
We request two days of beam-time on POLARIS to obtain high resolution measurements of the thermal expansion of dolomite [CaMg(CO3)2]. The experiment forms part of a larger... -
Is Zeolite Deactivation Through Pore Blocking?
Zeolites are porous framework materials that have active catalytic sites inside narrow channels. Unwanted reactions create coke in the pores which may block access to the active... -
Magnetic excitations in the S=1/2 ferromagnetic semiconductor Lu2V2O7
Lu2V2O7 is a rare example of an S=1/2 pyrochlore. The fact that it is a ferromagnet with Tc=70 K belies the fact that it has some truly remarkable properties. These include the... -

Phase Separation in NaTaO3. Can it be controlled by pressure?
The present proposal seeks to establish the pressure dependence of the Pbnm-Cmcm transition in NaTaO3 and some doped variants thereof. It aims to understand the understand the... -
COMBINED QUASI-ELASTIC NEUTRON SCATTERING AND SR-INFRARED MICROSPECTROSCOPY F...
This is a joint ISIS/DLS proposal Quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) and SR-Infrared microspectroscopy (SR-IRMS) are coupled to probe the impact of a Pd(II) anticancer... -
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... -
Catalysis in Hydrogen-Bond Rich Porous Organic Materials
Hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) interactions are essential in biological and chemical processes, particularly in reactions catalysed by enzymes and small-molecule catalysts.... -
Investigation of the spin dynamics of Shastry-Sutherland phase in Ce2-xPd2+yI...
The Shastry-Sutherland lattice (SSL) can be described as a 2D square lattice built up from a network of dimers disposed orthogonally and has been observed in SrCu2(BO2)3.... -
Defect Structure in Lead Doped Bismuth Yttrates
Stabilised bismuth oxides are of interest as intermediate temperature solid electrolytes for a variety of electrochemical device applications. Lead doping into bismuth yttrate... -
Structure of Molecular Hydrogen in Synthetic Laponite Clay Hydrates
In this proposal we aim to study low temperature structure of hydrogen in the interlayer region of partially hydrated pillared clays. There are linked dual motivations for this... -

Local structure study of multiferroic region of cupric(II) oxide
Cupric(II) oxide (CuO) has recently found to be both antiferromagnetic and ferroelectric in temperature region from 213 K to 230 K. This high temperature multiferroic material... -
Atomic and electronic structure of 6Li/7Li enriched binary lithium silicate g...
Since local coordination state of lithium cation is important for functional lithium-containing glasses, deep understanding of the structure at atomic and electronic level is a... -
Decoupling effect between protein and water
Water plays a critical role in life. A hydration level, h ~ 0.2 g water/g protein, is found to be the minimum for the dynamical transition in protein at Td ~ 200 K. This... -
Studying dynamics of water on graphene by quasi-elastic neutron scattering
Graphene-based materials have unique structural and physiochemical properties, and have been exhibited as efficient working substances to filter salts in saline water.... -
Exploring cation dynamics in a hybrid Prussian blue analogue
Many hybrid Prussian blue analogues show exploitable electric behaviour, such as piezo-, pyro-, or ferroelectricity or dielectric switching. We have previously characterised one... -
UNDERSTANDING NORMAL-TO-CANCER TRANSITION IN HUMAN CELLS WITH THE USE OF NEUT...
Normal-to-malignant transformation in human cells, still an ill-understood process, is intimately related to their biomechanical properties, which are strongly dependent on the...
