We propose to conduct an inelastic scattering study on NaVS2 and NaVSe2 in zero magnetic field on the MARI spectrometer. These compounds form triangular lattices which are...

At a recent experiment at the ILL using D22, we made an incidental observation that addition of hydrophilic silica (SiO2) nanoparticles (NP; D~14 nm) induced alignment in the...

In the proposed experiments we aim to characterise the structures of aggregate species formed when divalent metal ions, such as calcium(II), interact with the anionic conjugated...

In this proposal, we would like to suggest inelastic neutron scattering measurement on a single-crystal sample of a frustrated antiferromagnet CuFeO2 under applied magnetic...

Our neutron study on YbAl3C3 reveals the presence of two well defined magnetic excitations at 1.5 and 3 meV at 4 K due to spin-dimer formation. Interestingly the specific heat...

Nanocarbon materials such as C60 show fascinating transport properties when in contact with a ferromagnet. Previous results indicate that this could be due to a spin polarized...

Ho2-xYxSn2O7 is characterized by degenerate magnetic ground-states, which involve the magnetic structure for x->0 (Spin-Ice phase) and the two-fold degeneracy of the...

We propose to look at the interaction of the aggregates two phospholipids form with two phospholipase (PL) enzymes, PLA2 and PLC, which hydrolyse different ester groups in the...

Electric field induced changes in the swelling of a strong polyelectrolyte brush will be investigated using neutron reflectivity. A poly(styrene sulphonate), PSS, brush will be...

Unconventional superconductivity can be induced in the vicinity of quantum critical point as a consequence of suppression of long range magnetic ordering as function of control...

Spin ladders present a class of low dimensional quantum magnets that occupy a regime of subtle behaviour which lies between the stark extremes of a one-dimensional chain or...

The proposed experiments will investigate conformational changes of the 18kDa translocator protein (TSPO) in a lipid bilayer using neutron reflectometry at the solid-liquid...

Multiferroic CaMn7O12 possesses giant magnetically induced ferroelectricity at relatively high temperatures - key properties for technological application. X-ray and neutron...

The sequence of structural phase transitions that occur in distorted ABO3 perovskites as a function of temperature is of intrinsic interest for better understanding of the...

We intend to perform some measurements with three NRCA gamma detectors in different geometric configurations in the INES block house in order to get information about the...

The breaking of time-reversal symmetry via ferromagnetic (FM) doping is crucial for enabling many interesting phenomena in topological insulators (TIs) such as the Quantum...

We have recently used a combination of PNR and low energy muon spin rotation (LEM) to detect the coexistence of an induced SDW and superconductivity in the superconducting layer...

We have recently succeeded in measuring the excitation spectrum of charge doped cuprate chains with a 90 degree Cu-O-Cu bonding geometry. This study resolved a long standing...

Polymers, end-functionalised with carboxylic acid (COOH) groups do not normally segregate to film surfaces due to the high surface energy of these functionalities. However, we...

The purpose is to follow a structural evolution as water soluble (normal curvature) micelles are gradually transformed into oil soluble (reversed curvature) aggregates. Although...
