The new compound Li3Mg2RuO6 exhibits interesting structural and magnetic properties. The Ru5+ sublattice is intrinsically frustrated : chains, along various [110] directions, of...

The aim of this proposal is to study the internal dynamics of a novel organometallic polymers based on two metal-containing moieties -Ru, Au- bridged through a tridentate...

A family of sterol-modified glycerophospholipids (SML) have been synthesized in which the sn-1 or sn-2 position is covalently attached to cholesterol and the alternative...

Experimentally exploring the fascinating physics of one- and two-dimensional magnetism continues to rely on the synthesis of novel, model systems with highly anisotropic...

Lithium ternary nitrides are emerging as promising anode materials in lithium ion batteries. In this application we propose a 1 day experiment on POLARIS to determine the...

Magnetism and superconductivity compete and coexist in many of the high temperature superconductors, and the newly discovered iron arsenides are no exception. Muon-spin rotation...

The aim of this proposal is to study the internal structure of novel organometallic polymers based on two metal-containing moieties -Ru, Au (or Ag)- bridged through a tridentate...

For the first time, the research team aim to use INS to characterise a series of new high specification methane reforming catalysts. The enhanced performance of these catalysts...

Silica-free barium titanate bulk glasses, containing lanthanide elements, show unusually high dielectric response and a high refractive index. These properties allow crucial...

Solventless protein liquids (SPLS) represent a novel form of biological matter. Recently we reported on the preparation and properties of a solvent-free liquid protein based on...

The aim of the experiment is to employ SANS to study the physical properties of a novel and very stable aqueous Fe3O4 ferrofluid system stabilized by the commercially available...

A family of sterol-modified glycerophospholipids (SML) have been synthesized in which the sn-1 or sn-2 position is covalently attached to cholesterol and the alternative...

We have synthesised a novel material IrSr2Sm1.15Ce0.85Cu2O10 . Preliminary magnetic measurements evidence two magnetic transitions at Tc = 125 K and TM2= 6 K. Above Tc however...

We have recently shown that dense monolayers of PC can be assembled on gold surfaces using a new omega thiol PC from Avanti. This has two advantages over our previous methods....

Bacteria growing resistant to common antibiotics is a growing problem and research in new types of medicines which do not induce resistance is therefore very important. Novel...

We propose to investigate the temperature dependence of magnetic dead-layer thickness in amorphous ferromagnetic CoFeTaB films on Si and GaAs semiconductor substrates. Magnetic...

The study of novel manganites, where the tailoring of the Mn formal valence state on the B site is done by the ordering of different cations on the A site of the ABO3 (B:Mn)...

This proposal describes a muSR experiment for studying a diffusive nature of Li ions in novel anode material for Li-ion batteries. The target compound, LixY2Ti2O5S2 (LxYTOS,...

This proposal is part of our research programme on spin and orbital order in frustrated systems. AgNiO2 has a layered crystal structure with Jahn-Teller active Ni3+ ions forming...
