Determining the Crystal and Magnetic Structures of [Li(oxalate)]2[Co5(OH)8]
Dense corrdination frameworks that contain inorganic centres connected into extended lattices by polyatomic anions often adopt highly anisotropic structures. Thus they often... -
Investigation of Ho ordering and its role in magnetization compensation in ga...
The garnet system Ho3Fe5O12 (HIG), which is ferrimagnet below 567 K, shows magnetization compensation phenomenon at 138 K (Tcomp) and another magnetic transition around 55 K... -
Magnetic excitations in mesoporous hematite
We have recently prepared mesoporous forms of various metals oxides. In some cases the imposition of a mesostructure changes other properties of the material significantly. One... -
Magnetic structure of layered oxide chalcogenides: Ba2CoO2Cu2Te2 and Sr2CoO3CuSe
This is an experiment to measure the crystal structures and the thermal evolution of the magnetic structures of two new layered oxide chalcogenides. In Ba2CoO2Cu2Te2 we will... -
Uptake of Molecular Hydrogen by High-performance Carbon Nanostructures (IRIS)
High sorption capacities and enhanced interaction strengths are the two most fundamental prerequisites for the deployment of carbon-based materials as hydrogen-storage media. In... -
Investigation of the relevant thermodynamic parameters for the production of ...
With fantastic flux gains over its liquid conterpart, a solid methane moderator is essential to the newly built Second Target Station at ISIS. Unfortunately, it is notoriously... -
Impact of Jahn-Teller Distortions in Sr0.5Pr0.5MnO3
We propose to use the HRPD to establish the sequence of structures, and the nature of the transitions between these, in two complex manganites Sr0.5Pr0.5MnO3 and... -
Interlayer and Interparticle Water in Clays
Clay barriers are routinely used in nuclear waste repositories to isolate radionuclides from the biosphere. Such barriers have to be carefully designed to remain effective for... -
Magnetostriction in (Bi,La) orthoferrites
We have recently observed unusual magnetostrictive behaviour in Bi0.5La0.5FeO3 (BLFO), a phenomenon which is not present in either solid solution end member. This proposal seeks... -
Competition between C-H---O hydrogen bonds and C=O----Br halogen bonds
Our main objective in this proposal is to study the competition between halogen and hydrogen bonding as a function of temperature in the complex (CH3)2C=O--- Br2. The results of... -
Dynamics studies of water and ice in carbon nanohorns
Recent diffraction [GEM] and DINS [Vesuvio] studies of water in carbon nanohorns have suggested that there is substantial proton delocalisation along the H-bond between... -

The full spin-wave dispersion of CaFe2O4 in the A and B phases:
CaFe2O4 shows an interplay between magnetic structures termed the A and B phases. In this proposal, we request time to measure the spin wave dispersion using MERLIN. Previous... -
Direct measurement of the nuclear momentum distribution in a switchable diele...
The family of hybrid Prussian blue analogues includes many electroactive materials, where organic cations moving within the pores of the cyanide framework cause unusual and... -
Cooperative Jahn-Teller distortions in Ru4+ double perovskites
The aim of the proposed experiment is to use HRPD to follow the temperature dependence of the crystal structures of the double perovskites La2MgRuO6 and La2CoRuO6. This is of... -
Stochastic vs. Intermolecular Motions in Strongly Associated Liquids: The Cas...
Neutron scattering is a powerful technique to study stochastic motions in liquids but it requires an energy resolution well below the meV range. As a consequence, quasielastic... -
Understanding the effects of pressure and temperature on the structure of an ...
The discovery of superconductivity in iron-pnictide materials has generated much excitement in the past year about possibly unifying mechanisms for high-temperature... -

Transport properties of sodium ions in novel electrochemical storage systems
The electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices are the key components in future?s smart energy grids enabling on-demand and efficient energy usage. To date, flow,... -
The search for long range exchange interactions in the S=1 square lattice ant...
Exchange interactions in insulators can be understood in terms of the Andersen exchange picture in which the Hamiltonian has two contributions: (i) a kinetic term characterized...
