Pyrochlore oxides of the type A2B2O7 (where A = trivalent rare earth, B = tetravalent transition metal element) can form geometrically frustrated magnets displaying a range of...

Via chi¿¿(Q,E) we aim to investigate the dependence of the Kondo temperature TK of YbInCu4 on external pressure and substitution. YbInCu4 undergoes a first-order isostructural...

The aim of this experiment is to measure in-situ the high temperature beta phase in a Ti and Zr alloy in order to relate the beta texture with the alpha texture observed at room...

The aim of this experiment is to characterise the effect of dilution on the residual stresses in multiple-pass welds produced with specially designed filler alloys that exploit...

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...

Diamonds provide our only direct samples of the very deep Earth and understanding their origin is consequently of great interest to Earth Scientists. The origin of diamonds can...

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...

Through low temperature fluorination of AFeO3-x (A=Sr, Ba) it is possible to prepare the oxide fluorides AFeO2F, which are antiferromagnetically ordered at room temperature. In...

Despite the importance of the LiFeO2 phases as cathode materials in lithium ion batteries, little is known about their crystal structures. In the frame of our research project...

The quantum spin liquid (QSL) state is one of the possible outcomes of quantum fluctuations advancing magnetic systems into a disordered phase. After more than 30 years of quest...

Thermal batteries are used in applications were high reliability is a key requirement. They can be stored for decades and activated in less than a second. Most contemporary...

The room temperature crystal structure of TbInO3 realises a geometrically frustrated two-dimensional triangular lattice of Tb3+ J = 6 cations. We have prepared ~ 6 g of high...

The goal of this proposal is to investigate the nature of the guest-host interactions in novel porous carbide-derived carbon (CDC) using TOSCA. The advantage of porous carbons...

The relative importance of factors affecting the low temperature ALC spectra of organic molecular systems such as polymers and small molecules is a topical issue. Polybutadiene...

Microwave (MW) assisted chemical reactions are of interest as a green, energy efficient alternative to conventional thermal heating for chemical processes. MW irradiation...

The realisation of room temperature magnetic semiconductors would be a significant milestone on the route to the next generation of spintronic materials. Raising the ordering...

An uncommon oxygen absorption/desorption behavior for cobalt oxide YBaCo4O7+d was found[Karppinen et al. Chem Mater 18 2006 490]. Y114 absorbs and desorbs oxygen up to d = 1.5...

Ce-compounds are well known to present very rich physics and exotic electronic ground state due to the competing RKKY, Kondo and crystal field interactions. Recently CeRuPO...

Understanding of chemical reactivity is founded on the fundamental concepts of Electrophilicity and Neucleophilicity. All extant attempts to do this depend on the reaction of...

The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of different stimuli on a novel iron oxide core shell nanoparticles. The system is composed of a magnetite core with a...
