The definitive Bi4Ti3O12: a textbook example of Hybrid-Improper Ferroelectricity
Bi4Ti3O12 is a well-known and studied layered perovskite; such phases are ferroelectrics, which have been used in random-acccess memories and other applications. Understanding... -
Understanding anaesthetics: Ethanol partitioning into lipid membranes, effect...
Ethanol plays an important role in the human metabolism. It is in particular known to act as a drug enhancer by increasing trans-membrane permeability, and as an anesthetic.... -
Colossal Magnetoresistance in PrBa2Cu3O7-d
Large negative bulk magnetoresistance has recently been observed in ruthenocuprate materials RuSr2R2-xCexCu2O10-d (up to -47 % at 5 K in a 9 T field). This material exhibits -MR... -
Determining the Hamiltonian of a New Quantum Spin Ice Material
Pr2Hf2O7 is a potential quantum spin ice compound. Compared to the classical spin ice ions Ho3+ and Dy3+, Pr3+ has weaker Ising anisotropy and significant XY terms leading to... -
Phase diagram of the lead-free ferroelectric Na1-xKxNbO3 at room temperature
The system NaNbO3 ¿ KNbO3 is one of the most widely studied as a ¿green¿ replacement for the piezoelectric material PZT (PbZr1-xTixO3). Despite its enormously growing... -
Effect of Anelasticity on Creep Behaviour
Nuclear power generation plants undergo start-up/shut-down load-temperature cycles during service operation. Components operating at temperatures in the creep regime can exhibit... -
Thermal expansion studies of metallic glasses showing magnetocaloric effect
The main aim of our proposal is investigation of thermally induced volume changes occurring in short range order of amorphous pseudo-binary Fe(Mn)-B alloys in the vicinity of... -
Effect of Aging Temperature on Inorganic Films Templated by Polymer-Surfactan...
Recently we have been investigating the mineralization of polymer-surfactant films to create thicker and more robust self-supporting membranes. Our previous experiments used the... -
Effect of texture on generation of intergranular stresses in 316H
Intergranular stresses are generated in polycrystalline material due to anisotropic deformation during monotonic and cyclic loading. Such generated intergranular stresses can... -

We will carry out a definitive local structure investigation of the ferroelectric transition in [ND4][Zn(DCOO)3]. This compound is seen as the canonical example of a... -
Investigation of the relevant thermodynamic parameters for the production of ...
With fantastic flux gains over its liquid conterpart, a solid methane moderator is essential to the newly built Second Target Station at ISIS. Unfortunately, it is notoriously... -
Inelastic Neutron Scattering Investigation of the Interactions Between a Meta...
We have synthesised a Co centred and an In centred MOF which represent the first examples of MOFs in which the channels are functionalized by both acidic carboxyl and basic... -
The structure of hydrogen in calcium-ammonia-graphite: an in situ time resolv...
The aim of this proposal is to determine the in-plane and out-of-plane structure of H2 in the two dimensional galleries of stage-I calcium-ammonia-graphite intercalates: this... -
Metal Atom Ordering in Thermoelectric Materials
Preparation of materials Co3-xNixSn2S2 (0 < x < 3) has enabled the effect of electron-doping on the thermoelectric properties of shandites to be investigated. DFT... -
Unravelling spin fluctuation components in a stripe-ordered cuprate
In previous experiments at ILL we observed a gap in the magnetic excitation spectrum of the stripe-ordered superconductor (La,Nd)2-xSrxCuO4, x=0.12. We observed a spin gap of... -
