In collaboration with Sasol Technology UK Ltd, the research team have previously used INS to investigate the surface chemistry of synthesis gas (CO + H2) over a series of...

In this application we will conduct the first detailed study of the structure of glassy metal-ammonia systems ? so-called Ogg glasses, named after the person who first proposed...

The diffusion coefficients of monobranched and dibranched (methyl)hexane and octane in industrially important zeolite ZSM5 will be measured along with their straight chain...

In the last 25 years the highest blocking temperature TB achieved for the best performing molecular nanomagnets has only reached few K. The situation has recently changed...

Materials with the perovskite crystal structure are ubiquitous in condensed matter physics. Despite being known for several years, the quadruple perovskites, which afford...

Conductive polymers (CP) show desirable physicochemical properties, with CP-based nanocomposites being manufactured for various applications i.e. sensors The filler particles...

Our aim is to study with high resolution neutron powder diffraction the two orthorhombic phases of Mn2TeO6 at RT, so as to understand the origin of the observed structural...

The spin excitations in superconducting LiFeAs have been found evolved from incommensurate peaks to commensurate peak at low energy. But the spin resonance is still not clear in...

Ru4+ ions in Li2RuO3 are on a bipartite lattice and have an orbital degeneracy. The four electrons of the magnetic Ru4+ ions in the threefold-orbitally degenerate t2g manifold...

Following a recently succesfull measurement of the structure of a monolayer of n-butane adsorbed on MgO we wish to perform neutron diffraction measurements of monolayers of...

Nd2Zr2O7 is a new candidate prominent to quantum spin ice proposed theoretically. It has a well-isolated dipolar-octupolar doublet with Ising anisotropy as the crystal field...

H2 and D2 are simple systems which can be used to bench mark the accuracy of VESUVIO measurements. Previous measurements performed in 2008 indicate the presence of an intensity...

In this proposal we will pioneer the use of QENS in combination with molecular biology mutagenesis and in silico design to guide the re-engineering of a glycoside hydrolase,...

Magnetic equiatomic alloys (MEAs) of the general formula MM'X (M, M' = transition metals, X = Si, Ge, Sn) undergo martensitic transition on cooling from high temperature....

Development of new cryopreservation strategies has major potential in medicine and agriculture, and is critical to the conservation of endangered species that currently cannot...

The recent discovered iron pnictide superconductor which shows a transition temperature up to 50K has drawn much attention in the community. There are indications that...

We propose to use WISH to perform high resolution diffraction measurements using a fine temperature step size on powder Pb3TeCo3B2O14 (B=V,P). These measurements are crucial to...

The objective of this experiment is to characterise four particular high-pressure polymorphs of various hydrates discovered by us in recent years during work carried out using...

Inelastic neutron scattering (INS) spectroscopy is an ideal technique for studying the interaction of a metal with ligands because the metal is essentially invisible to neutrons...

Recently it has been reported that YbAl3C3 undergoes an antiferromagnetic quadrupolar ordering transition at 80 K, Further study by Ochiai et al. revealed that the transition at...
