Unraveling the short-range magnetism in intermetallic core-shell nanoparticle...
Magnetic nanoparticles are currently being investigated comprehensively. Our ball-milled TbCu2 nanoparticles show a core-shell structure in which the core orders... -
Local structure of polymers in confined geometries in surface dominated samples
This proposal is focused on developing an understanding of how surfaces affect the local structure of synthetic polymers. There is considerable evidence for a strong variation... -
Solvation structure of propane/propene in [C4mim][NTf2] ionic liquid - II
There are great energy costs associated with the separation of the light olefins (ethylene and propylene) from mixed hydrocarbon gas feeds. These olefins (obtained from natural... -

Formation of hard carbon from carbonized biowaste and in situ neutron study
hard carbon are promising anodes for sodium ion batteries, due to their high capacity and green production from biowaste. However, they require treatment at very high... -
Charge and magnetic order in an overdoped manganite
Perovskite manganites exhibit a plethora of competing phases that can be tuned with modest changes in external parameters such as temperature, magnetic field, pressure or... -
Experimental compositions of TiCo0.9M0.2Sb0.9Sn0.1 half-Heusler nanocomposite...
The aim of the experiment is to determine the experimental compositions of the title materials from Rietveld analysis of neutron powder diffraction data. This information is... -
Modulation in Molecular Materials under Pressure
Modulation has been understood and used to explain physical properties in solid-state materials for many years. Molecular modulated structures relatively scarce, but due to... -
Multiscale time-resolving study of solid state crystallisation from the mesom...
We will exploit the unique capability of Nimrod in the study of the long standing issue of polymer crystallisation. We focus on isotactic polypropylene which has been quenched... -
A survey of skyrmions
Skyrmions are topological excitations that exist in a variety of magnetic insulators. Here we propose to complete our previous experiment (RB1320198) with the aim of producing a... -
Probing the Local Structure-Property Relationship in the IMSSZ Oxide Ion Cond...
The current state-of-the-art solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) electrolyte material, 8 mol% yttria stabilised zirconia (8YSZ), exhibits good performance at temperatures above 850 °C.... -
In situ diffraction studies of cathode materials for Li ion batteries
Li-ion batteries are interesting because they offer high power and, as a consequence, they are preferred to aqueous-based batteries for traction applications e.g. hybrid... -
Effect of alloying on the misfit of Ni-Ni3Al-Ni3V alloys
The exceptional high temperature mechanical properties of Ni-base superalloys has resulted in their widespread use in high temperature applications. These alloys conventionally... -
Evolution of interlayer water to form gel-like layers in graphene oxide
Graphene oxide is a heavily functionalised form of grapheme that is dispersible in water and other solvents. As water is added to pristine graphene oxide there is formation... -
Dilution-induced spin glass in Na2IrO3: a MuSR study
We plan to investigate Na2IrO3 samples with a partial substitution of Na by means of a transition metal element (the cases of TM = Co, Ni, Cu and Zn will be considered). The...
