Intermediate strength hydrogen bonds, H-bonds, are known to play a role in the reactions of surface bound species, especially on the widely used industrial substrate...

We propose to measure inelastic incoherent neustron scattering spectra of p-H2 adsorbed in situ in the metal-organic frameworks CPO-27-Fe(II) and CPO-27-Fe(III). These are two...

As part of an EPSRC grant coupled with an ISIS Programme Access award, the research team have been developing the methodology of using inelastic neutron scattering (INS) to...

Electroceuticals is the attempt to “…speak the electrical language of the nerves to achieve higher treatment effect”. Thus, the search is on to develop devices to enhance...

YbPd crystallizes in the cubic CsCl-type structure and reported to have magnetically ordered ground state with the mixed valence of the Yb ion. Further, it under goes through...

Ammonia borane (AB) is one of the most promising hydrogen storage materials. We have extensively studied the low temperature behaviour of this material This proposal asks for 3...

Novel functionality in condensed matter physics is one of fastest developing fields, aiming for possible future applications including quantum computing, electronic devices and...

A2BB’O6 double perovskites are an important family of materials, with spintronic properties found in some examples e.g. Sr2FeMoO6. Although A2+ sites are usually occupied by...

We are proposing to accurately map out the crystal electric field (CEF) levels in NdB4, ErB4 and HoB4 using MARI. These compounds belong to a family, REB4, which is a rare...

Multiferroic materials - those which exhibit spontaneous and switchable electrical and magnetic polarizations - have a wide range of applications. However preparing new...

We propose to measure the neutron diffraction pattern of a single crystal sample of SrEr2O4, using the WISH diffractometer. As the magnetic Er ions in this compound are linked...

Our goal with this project is to gain insight into the bonding mechanisms of low barrier N-H…N hydrogen bonds and how increased thermal energy changes the charge density...

This experiment will investigate three related systems which contain copper deficient anti-fluorite-type copper sulfide layers. The overall aim is to correlate magnetic and...

We will probe the response of the magnetic and crystal structures of layered manganese oxide chalcogenides to the oxidation state and the local coordination environment of Mn....

Quantum spin liquids (QSL) are new and exotic states of matter that in 2 dimensions were proposed by Anderson to underpin the transition to unconventional superconductivity of...

We propose to study off-specular polarised neutron reflectivity from an array of CoFeB nanostructures. Many groups use Permalloy to form these types of nanostructures, however,...

TbMnO3 attracts special attention due to its large magnetoelectric coupling, polarization flop and ferro-paramagnetic phase transition, both induced by magnetic field. Despite...

In a successful recent experiment on IN5 (ILL), we have been able to show that in contrast to commonly accepted wisdom, the excitation gap in nearly optimally doped...

This proposal is a continuation of Rapid Access experiment RB170007 done on MARI in September 2016, as recommended by MARI beam scientists. This experiment was done to establish...

Recent experiences applying INS to examine a series of nickel-based methane reforming catalysts have enabled a generic experimental methodology to be developed. In collaboration...
