Spectroscopy of muon centres in n-type silicon carbide
We propose a series of measurements to complete the previous direct spectroscopic measurements of the Muonium defect energy levels in Silicon Carbide (SiC; RB110134). We will... -
The origin of room temperature ferromagnetism in strained BiFeMnO epitaxial f...
We have produced high quality, epitaxial and phase pure thin films of BiFe0.5Mn0.5O3 (BFMO) grown on (001) SrTiO3 substrates using pulsed laser deposition. The magnetic... -
Unraveling temperature dependent cis/trans-isomerisation in bis{(trifluoromet...
Raman spectroscopy has identified differences in how the anion conformer populations of alkali metal bis{(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl}imide molten salts (Li-Cs) and protic... -
Spin dynamics in volborthite at low temperature and high field
Experimental realisations of spin models which exhibit a breakdown of Neel order have been much sought in the last few decades. One of the most theoretically attractive models... -
Towards an accurate structural phase diagram for the novel BiScO3-PbTiO3 ferr...
The aim of this experiment is to determine accurately the crystal structures of phases in the (1-x)BiScO3-xPbTiO3 (BST-PT) perovskite phase diagram, particularly in the vicinity... -
Possible high-temperature polar phases in the [110] layered perovskites NdBaI...
Geometric ferroelectrics are an unusual and rare class of materials which exhibit spontaneous electrical polarisation due purely to 'geometric' effects, i.e. caused by atomic... -
Studying the helimagnetic order and precursor phenomena in MnSi under pressure
The archetype chiral system MnSi belongs to the family of non-centrosymmetric cubic helimagnets where a helimagnetic ordering exists below the critical temperature of 29 K. This... -
Intergranular stress generation during high temperature creep-fatigue loading
Intergranular stresses, generated during cyclic loading of AISI type 316H stainless steel can significantly affect the creep deformation of this material. However,... -

Particle and temperature dependent solubility limits in LiFePO4
In extension of our previous study on particle size dependent solubility limits in nano-sized LiFePO4 we wish to extend our study to temperature dependent solubility limits in... -
Investigation of the low temperature magnetic order in azurite.
Both a natural mineral and quantum magnet, azurite is a candidate model of the so-called Distorted Diamond Chain system. Such a system should theoretically exhibit spin-1/3... -
Direct measurement of magnetoelectric coupling - a new room temperature multi...
We have recently performed muon measurements on a member of a new class of multiferroic materials. We have shown that there is hysteretic behaviour to the internal field... -
Anion disorder in Ti pyrochlores as a precursor in the transition to fluorite
The aim of this work is to understand the nature of anion disordering in pyrochlore oxides and to establish what, if any, correlations exist between the anion position, disorder... -
Investigation of the low temperature magnetic order in Cu nitrate
The aim of this proposal is to study the field induced magnetically ordered phase of the quasi 1D spin system copper nitrate. We plan to study the integrated intensities of the... -
Determining the spin axis and Neel temperature of the antiferromagnetic thin ...
This proposal aims to determine the easy axis and Neel temperature of the new epitaxial antiferromagnetic (AFM) thin film CuMnAs. The samples have been fully structurally... -
High pressure evolution of magnetic state and crystal structure of Pr1-xCaxMn...
Recently insulator-metal transition in Pr0.7Ca0.3MnO3 was observed at P = 0.5 GPa, implying a change in magnetic ground state, which was initially a pseudo-CE AFM one. In later... -
Hydrogen-bond ordering in hexamethylenetetramine hexahydrate as a function of...
The title compound, more succinctly referred to as HMT-hydrate, is a rare example of a water-framework zeolite structure with an organic guest molecule hydrogen bonded to the... -
Variable temperature study of frustrated magetism in Lu2Mo2O5N2
Geometrically frustrated S= 1/2 magnets are of great interest as they do not show classical long range magnetic order at low temperatures and can adopt exotic quantum spin... -
Investigation of asphaltene nanoaggregate size under conditions of CO2 reserv...
The asphaltene fraction of crude oil is defined by its solubility parameters (insoluble in n-heptanebut soluble in toluene). Changes in conditions (temperature, pressure,... -
Investigating the graphitisation behaviour of polycrystalline diamond at high...
Polycrystalline diamond is a man-made diamond material used for rock drilling and machining operations. Its vastly superior hardness to any other material allows it to cut...
