Incorporation of PAN-pyrene swollen micelles in crosslinked polyelectrolyte f...
We have been studying the formation of solid polymer-surfactant films at the air-solution interface formed from cationic surfactants with PEI. We wish to use the micelles... -
Crystal structures and magnetic order in metal/ammonia intercalates of FeSe
This is a proposal to determine the magnetic structures of the Rb/NH3 and K/NH3 intercalates of FeSe. These compounds exhibit superconductivity when freshly prepared, but... -
The magnetic structure of an A- site and B-site ordered perovskite: CaCu3Fe2O...
Recently, double perovskites have attracted enormous attention. Now, we have successfully synthesized a quadruple perovskite compound which shows not only one but, both, A-site... -
Time Resolved Studies on Inorganic Film Formation at the Air-Solution Interface
In a recent SURF experiment on the formation of silica films templated with cat-anionic/polymer complexes we found that the film growth and evolution occurs on a faster time... -
Zr-based metal-organic frameworks as carbon-free energy carriers: a study of ...
Structural information of Zr-based MOFs including UiO-67, m-UiO-67, and UiO-bpydc upon ammonia loading will be investigated by an in situ neutron powder diffraction technique.... -
Revisiting the magnetic structure of Yttrium Iron Garnet
Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG) is a material with extremely wide ranging applications, having the narrowest ferromagnetic resonance linewidth of any known material. Despite decades... -
Cooperative Jahn-Teller distortions in Ru4+ double perovskites
The aim of the proposed experiment is to use HRPD to follow the temperature dependence of the crystal structures of the double perovskites La2MgRuO6 and La2CoRuO6. This is of... -
Magnetic Structures of the RMnSbO (R = La, Nd) Oxy-Antimonides
The aim of the proposed experiment is to determine the temperature dependence of the ordered magnetic structures of LaMnSbO and NdMnSbO. These oxy-antimonides are related to the... -
Investigation of magnetic orderings in multiferroic PbFe12O19
We propose to perform neutron diffraction experiments on a powder sample of a multiferroic hexaferrite PbFe12O19. A recent paper has reported room temperature multiferroic... -
Micelle curvature effects on polyelectrolyte-surfactant film structures
This proposal continues our investigations into polyelectrolyte-surfactant thin films which form at the air-solution interface. Our previous work investigated structure... -
Variable Temperature Studies of the Novel Multiferroic Tetragonal Tungsten Br...
Recently there has been a renaissance in the investigation of materials which simultaneously exhibit magnetic and electric ordering with these materials expected to find... -
Phase behaviour of methane clathrate under conditions relevant to Titan's int...
Methane clathrates are likely to be an important constituent of icy satellite interiors and a source of methane in the atmosphere of Saturn's giant satellite Titan. There is... -
Phase Diagram of Ba1-xKxFe2As2
In the new class of iron pnictide superconductors, there is evidence of phase coexistence close to the phase boundary between the SDW and superconducting order produced by hole... -
Encapsulation in Mixed Cat-anionic Surfactant Polymer Films
This proposal continues our investigations into polyelectrolyte-surfactant films at the air-solution interface. Using mixtures of cationic and anionic surfactants (CTAB/SDS) we...
