Although high quality single crystals of cuprate superconductors have been available for quite some time, comparing the properties of different crystals often raised more...

The proposed experiment forms a part of a joint study by M. Rahman, an ILL PhD thesis student, and J. Brokx, a CDT thesis student supported by ISIS. In the proposed experiment,...

Topological insulators are currently a subject of intense research and potential for spin-electronic devices. The breaking of gauge symmetry or time reversal symmetry(TRS) is a...

The high ionic conducting delta-phase of Bi2O3 can be stabilized at ambient temperature in a range of compositions, viz., (Bi1-xYx)2O3 (x=0.1 -0.5). We would measure inelastic...

Ni-base single crystal (SX) superalloys are advanced materials that are used in modern land-based gas turbine blades to achieve high operation performance. However localised...

Superconductivity was recently discovered in alpha-phase FeSex with a Tc of 8 K. Selenium can be replaced with Tellurium (FeSe1-xTex) and this results in an increase in Tc to 15...

We propose continued study of the muonium emission from silica aerogel using Muonium Spin Rotation (MuSR) following success of the proof-of-principle measurement. This time, we...

Serine monohydrate undergoes a phase transition at 5.2 GPa which involves reorientation of water molecules. It appears that this disrupts H-bonding elsewhere in the crystal,...

We request 4 days to collect high-resolution structural high-pressure data on two zeolites - zeolite A and EMC-2. Our previous theoretical findings from geometric simulation...

Preliminary data on the spin excitation spectrum of the honeycomb lattice compound Na2Co2TeO6 are consistent with the existence of Kitaev interactions, as was recently proposed...

In recent incoherent inelastic neutron scattering experiments we have shown that the anharmonic single-particle dynamics of H2 can be measured with high precision in quantum...

For deionised, charge stabilised latices, there has been some uncertainty about the stacking sequence of close packed layers in samples at equilibrium. The ABCA stacking in...

Perovskite zirconates have been suggested as potential next generation thermal barrier materials. SrZrO3 is particularly promising as it has an extremely low thermal...

To understand the thermal conductivity suppression within PGEC titanate oxide thermoelectrics we hope to complement theoretical calculations performed on several perovskites...

Our previous LF-µSR measurements in natural type Ia single crystal diamond showed some evidence of the ionization of bond-centred muonium (MuBC) from around 1000K. This was...

There is considerable interest in understanding the magnetoelectric effect with the aim of developing technological applications. Until recently this has been limited to...

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...

a-RuCl3 is a honeycomb lattice system which is thought to be close to a spin liquid state. The layers are weakly coupled and therefore the system is susceptible to stacking...

Surfactant-silica self-assembly processes have been extensively studied since the discovery of M41S mesoporous materials in 1992. Mesoporous silicate films can be grown from...

We have recently prepared mesoporous forms of various metals oxides. In some cases the imposition of a mesostructure changes other properties of the material significantly. One...
