Inelastic Neutron Scattering and Raman spectroscopy on 2,2-Paracyclophane
[2,2]-Paracyclophane, C16H16, is a small molecule containing both sp2 and sp3 hybridized carbon atoms. Despite of its apparent simplicity, its solid state structure and... -
Room temperature ferromagnetic/ferroelectric ordering in BaTiO3 - BiFeO3 - Pb...
There are very few genuine claims of materials that are ferroelectric and ferromagnetic at room temperature. In This proposal we will study both textured and non texture BaTiO3... -
Probing the products of free radical reactions in ionic liquids
Many room temperature ionic liquids (salts with melting points near room temperature that hereafter will be referred to as ionic liquids) are ¿green solvents¿ for chemical... -
Amorphous Micrometre-Sized Water Ice Particles for Planetary Science Experime...
We request 2 days on SANDALS to characterise the temperature dependent properties of amorphous icy particles as they will be used in a more detailed study on NIMROD in Feburary... -
Neutron reflection from 3He layer adsorbed on liquid 4He surface
More than four decades ago A. F. Andreev predicted theoretically the existence of quantum states of 3He atoms on free surface of liquid 4He . In other words, at low... -
Role of DMSO in Ionic Liquid / DMSO Mixtures
This proposal aims to study the interactions within a prototypical ionic liquid / co-solvent system. Such systems are currently under investigation as potential solvating media... -
In situ deformation and transformation studies of zirconia dental ceramic
Yttria-stabilised polycrystalline zirconia ceramics (Y-TZP¿s) possess a unique combination of properties that make them attractive for dental prosthetic applications: strength,... -

We request 3 days on GEM to perform in-situ neutron diffraction and electrical conductivity studies of LiBD4 (crystalline and after quenching from 500K) and 0.33LiI.LiBD4 as a... -
Exploring the Magnetic Behaviour of New S = 1/2 Vanadium Oxyfluoride Kagome A...
Quantum spin liquid (QSL) states emerge when the arrangement of magnetic moments in a material frustrates magnetic interactions and low spin magnetic moments allow for strong... -
The origin of the ferromagnetic behavior in room temperature multiferroics Bi...
The long period cycloid in multiferroic BiFeO3 influences the potential applications of this material and it has been shown that doping (with La and Mn) enlarges the cycloid... -
Rosseinsky programme access GEM
The proposal develops recent observations on spin-lattice coupling in incommensurate materials (objective - measure influence of applied field on evolution of structural... -
Crystal structures of methanol mono-ammoniate (CD3OD.ND3) and methanol hemi-a...
Mixtures of methanol with water and ammonia dominate the chemistry of cometary bodies, leftovers of the building blocks of the outer planets. We have previously determined the... -
Effects of curvature and temperature on structure of lipid-polymer nanodiscs
Nanostructured lipid aggregates offer enormous potential as tools for membrane structural biology and biophysics. Styrene-Maleic Acid Lipid Particles have a number of attractive... -
