Low-dimensional glasses: Effect of occupational site disorder in the excess o...
The present scientific case concerns a glass-forming system with even less degrees of freedom, namely the occupational disorder of high-temperature phase (I, P21/c) of... -
Topochemically Reduced Complex Iridium Oxides
In recent years there has been a growing interest in modifying the anion lattice of complex transition metal oxides, via topochemical manipulation, to tune the magnetic and... -

Neutron Reflectivity Study of Protein Adsorption onto Cell Membrane-inspired ...
We grafted 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) polymer brush from the silicon wafer surface through Cu (0) mediated controlled radical polymerization (CuCRP) to mimic... -
Dynamics of Solid Ionic Conductors: Na2Si2O5 and Li2Si2O5
We would measure vibrational spectra for Li2Si2O5 and Na2Si2O5, as well as quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) spectra for Na2SiO5. The measurement of phonon spectra over... -
Multiscale studies of crystallisation in stereoregular polypropylenes
We will exploit the unique capability of NIMROD to bring new understanding to the way in which long chain polymers, specifically stereoregulqr polypropylenes, crystallise. There... -
Commissioning of the Sputnik pressure cell at low temperatures
making it available to users in the future -
Experimental validation of solid hydrogen phases in porous materials via neut...
Metallic hydrogen has long been theorised to be a close-to-room temperature superconductor, but is only predicted to form at GPa pressures. Instead of using extremely high... -
Evolution of interlayer water to form gel-like layers in graphene oxide
Graphene oxide is a heavily functionalised form of grapheme that is dispersible in water and other solvents. As water is added to pristine graphene oxide there is formation... -
Are La3Ni2NbO9 and La3Ni2TaO9 relaxor ferromagnets?
A relaxor ferroelectric exhibits a net polarisation only in an applied electric field due to the co-alignment of polar nanoregions. In La3Ni2SbO9 we found the magnetic... -
Quantum differences in heavy and light water
The density maximum of water is probably its best known anomaly and attempts to account for this phenomenon go back to Roentgen in 1892 and possibly further. We would like to... -
Neutron diffraction study of antiperovskite Mn3CoXN: a potential magnetocalor...
Materials exhibiting giant magnetocaloric effect (i.e. the large temperature change under a magnetic field variation) are the most promising type for magnetic refrigeration.... -
Antiferromagnetic domain manipulation in hematite thin films studied by neutr...
We propose to study the antiferromagnetic (AFM) domain structure of 100 nm thick Fe2O3 thin films using WISH. The sample will be magnetically poled to prepare an imbalance in... -
In-situ reflectometry studies of hydrogen cycling in Mg/Ti multilayers
We ask for 3 days of beam time on CRISP to study the absorption and desorption of hydrogen and deuterium in two Mg/Ti multilayer samples. Our specific objective is to understand... -
The Effect of Pressure on the Low Temperature Magnetic Structure of the CMR M...
Colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) is observed in the oxypnictide NdMnAsO1-xFx (x = 0 - 0.085) at low temperature. The CMR in NdMnAsO1-xFx arises due to competition between a... -
Hydrogen diffusion in Palladium-Silver membranes measured by QENS
Hydrogen selective membranes based on palladium are important for technological processes such as isotopic separation and gas purification.In general, a Pd membrane when... -
Crystal Field Study of the Rare Earth Pyrochlores Sm2Hf2O7, Sm2Zr2O7 and Dy2T...
Rare earth pyrochlores R2T2O7 have attracted attention because of the wide range of interesting and unusual magnetic behavior they present, in particular the observation of... -

Phonon dynamics in liquid gallium
We propose to measure the inelastic scattering S(Q,E) maps from gallium in its liquid phases across a wide range of temperatures. This proposal is based on a new prediction for... -
Study of a spin gap and CEF excitations in the caged compounds CeT2Al10 (T=Fe...
This proposal was submitted on MERLIN (RB1010206) and beam time was allocated on MARI. We have carried out low energy measurements on MARI and found a clear evidence of the spin...
