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... -
Microwave µSR studies of solids: electron-hole separation by non-thermal micr...
In this proposal we are planning to study free radicals (molecules with unpaired electrons) and interactions of charged species in solids under microwave irradiation. The study... -

Low field µSR studies of radiation chemistry and free radical reactions by no...
Microwave (MW) assisted chemical reactions are of interest as a green, energy efficient alternative to conventional thermal heating for chemical processes. MW irradiation... -
Alloxan - a high density organic under pressure
Organic molecular crystal structures have densities that are typically in the range 1.2-1.4 gcm-3 although these can be increased, in general, to ca. 2.0 GPa through application... -
Influence of Mg insert layers on interface magnetism in crystalline CoFe(B)/M...
We plan to investigate the influence of thin Mg insert layers on magnetism at buried interfaces in structures that model the lower electrode/barrier interface in... -
Investigation of the Q-dependent vibrational modes of MgD2 using poly-CINS
This proposal seeks to measure the poly-CINS (polycrystalline coherent inelastic neutron scattering) spectrum from magnesium deuteride (MgD2); a powder sample on the MARI... -
Pressure-temperature phase diagram of of the Jahn-Teller transition in LaMnO3
The parent compound LaMnO3 of the hole-doped colossal magnetoresistance materials La1-xAxMnO3 (A = Ca, Sr, Ba etc.) has attracted much interest from condensed matter scientists.... -
Investigation of new phase, MnBi2, by in situ high-pressure neutron diffraction
Permanent magnets are essential for renewable energy technologies such as electric cars and wind turbines. Global demand for magnets is increasing, however, the elements used to... -
The effect of combined modifiers: understanding the interactions between alka...
The mixed alkali effect is a well-known phenomenon whereby combining two alkalis in a ternary glass system can produce physical properties which can be superior to, but cannot... -

Investigating the INVAR behaviour of Pd3Fe
INVAR behaviour is the property of having zero thermal expansion over a given temperature range; something very important for certain engineering applications, and very... -
Magnetic Excitations of Isolated and Pairs of Co Ions and in MgO
The magnetic excitations will be studied in a powdered sample of 3% CoO in 97% MgO in order to to study the excitations of isolated Co ions and of isolated pairs of Co ions.... -
On the ninety degree perpendicular domain wall in FePt/FeRh thin films.
Magnetic structures with an out of plane magnetic moment can be found in the latest generation hard disk drive. Interactions between a material with controllable out of plane... -
L-Alanine above 10 GPa
Recently we studied L-alanine to 9.85 GPa. This is the highest pressure for which structural data are available for any organic system larger than methane. The results enabled... -
Investigation of maleic-d2 acid isomerization at high pressure
Experiments performed in our laboratory indicate that maleic acid undergoes an unexpected structural change when subject to high pressure and temperature conditions. For these... -
Diffraction investigation of cyclic molecules on surfaces of different symmetry
The wetting of solid surfaces by gases and liquids is both fundamentally and technologically important especially in the areas of energy storage and conversion, e.g. catalysis.... -
Polarised Neutron Reflectivity investigation of Fe+ ion irradiated Fe-15at%Cr...
For Fusion energy applications FeCr ferritic martensitic steels are candidate structural materials due to their radiation resistance and good mechanical properties. Thus, the...
