KMnF3 perovskite undergoes 3 structural, and two magnetic phase transitions on cooling from 300 K to 2 K. Above 185 K the compound is in the aristotype structure, on cooling...

Electrical steels are a type of Fe-Si steel used as transformer cores in the energy industry. Due to a welcomed drive for renewable energies, the understanding of soft magnetic...

The increasing incidence of pathogenic fungi resistant to treatment with amphotericin (AmB) has created a demand for novel anti-fungal agents that can circumvent the pathogens¿...

The analysis of Bragg edge in pulsed neutron transmission spectra is finding increasing use in combination with advances in energy selective imaging applications, and it is...

The material to be studied is nuclear graphite used in the core of the Gas-cooled Reactors in the UK. It is a non-replaceable component and therefore life-limiting. During...

This proposal continues our studies of water and small molecule binding around surfactant micelles using NIMROD, to obtain previously inaccessible details of their molecular...

Neutron diffraction offers one of the most interesting and meaningful methods for non destructive quantitative determination of the phase composition of materials. However, it...

In this work we will investigate how the magnetic properties of nanometer thick iron-oxide films can be manipulated by heating them in air. Our preliminary results indicate that...

We propose muSR studies on superfluid density in the overdoped La2-xSrxCuO4 (LSCO). The Hayden group (Bristol) has been growing high-quality LSCO single crystals, and performed...

It is proposed to investigate the torsional dynamics of the ¿NH3+ group of glycine-d2 in its three polymorphic forms using quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS). This study is...

Topological insulators are one of the most important recent discoveries in condensed matter physics. The topological surface state can become gapped when ferromagnetic order is...

The bilayer ruthenate Sr3Ru2O7 is the first material found to have a quantum critical end-point and is believed to display ¿nematic electronic order¿. We have previously studied...

This proposal sets out to investigate the high pressure behaviour of the double perovskitematerial with the chemical formula La2NiMnO6. The properties of this and related...

Bonded crack retarders are a novel technology for providing improved damage tolerance in aerospace structures. They can be applied either where mechanical fastening is being...

Spin echo small-angle neutron scattering (SESANS) beamtime is requested to study the growth of polymer nanolatices in novel microemulsion systems. The natural incompatibility of...

This proposal is concerned with determining variations in the high pressure structure of LaCoO3 and observing changes within this as the material undergoes some well...

Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) have attracted broad attention for various applications because they are relatively cheap, environmentally friendly and can easily be scaled-up....

On exposure to ammonia, Li(11)BD4 forms the ammoniate Li(11)BD4(ND3)n. Our recent experiment (RB820252) has shown that there are four distinct crystalline phases in the...

Nuclear power generation plants undergo start-up/shut-down load-temperature cycles during normal service operation. Components operating at temperatures in the creep regime can...

Strong magnets with a high energy product are vital when optimizing the efficiency in the electricindustry. This can be achieved by making spring-exchange coupled magnets....
