Spin-orbit transitions in Co2V2O7
We propose to investigate the magnetic fluctuations and spin-orbit transitions in Co2V2O7. This material is structurally related to CoV2O6 which displays cascading magnetization... -
Magnetic Excitations in SrRuO3
SrRuO3 is particularly interesting as it is the only simple Ruthenate that exhibits ferromagnetic order at ambient conditions, which still is a rare phenomenon in the broader... -
INS studies of the oxidation of benzyl alcohol using supported AuPd nanoparti...
This proposal is a continuation of RB1000003 and RB1110113. The aim of the present experiment is to gain further insight into the mechanism of benzyl alcohol oxidation using... -
Inelastic magnetic excitations in NaFe0.95Co0.05As (Tc~17 K)
Though NaFeAs shares the same crystallographic structure with LiFeAs, there are many different aspects between them. We would like to compare the magnetic excitation in it with... -
Study of phonon density of states in PGEC titanate thermoelectrics
To understand the thermal conductivity suppression within PGEC titanate oxide thermoelectrics we hope to complement theoretical calculations performed on several perovskites... -
Phonon Dispersion in the Organic Ferroelectric Croconic Acid
Organic ferroelectrics are important materials because of their technological applications in low-cost non-volatile memory elements. Single-crystal croconic acid (C5O5H2) is the... -

Recently, our neutron scattering experiments on electron doped BaFe2-xNixAs2 and hole doped Ba1-xKxFe2As2 suggest that the presence of both high-energy spin excitations giving... -
Study of carbon supports for catalysts used in the direct synthesis of hydrog...
We have recently shown that acid washing of a carbon support prior to metal (Au, Pd) deposition enhances the activity of the resulting catalysts for the direct synthesis of... -
Crystal Field Excitations in the Borderline Spin Ice Pr2Zr2O7
The title compound is expected to be a spin ice close to an instability which stabilises magnetic order. We can determine its spin Hamiltonian precisely by measuring the crystal... -

Evolution of spin wave excitations of Mn3Sn in different magnetic ordered phases
Mn3Sn has very complex magnetic ordered phase, a clear magnetic phase transition happens at T=~280K accompanied by the vanishing of AHE.For our Mn3Sn crystal grown by flux... -
High resolution INS spectra of hydrocarbonaceous overlayers formed on novel m...
For the first time, the research team aim to use INS to characterise a series of new high specification methane reforming catalysts. The enhanced performance of these catalysts... -
Inelastic Spectroscopy of the Mobile Phase of Ammonia Borane
Ammonia borane (AB) is one of the most promising hydrogen storage materials. There has recently been work on a more mobile phase of AB (denoted AB*) which is formed (via the... -
Assignment of higher-order transitions in the vibrational spectrum of the nov...
This proposal requests 2 days on MERLIN to measure the INS spectrum of the novel perovskite type oxyhydride BaTiO3-xHx (x = 0.4). Prevision INS measurements, on TOSCA, have... -
Magnon dispersion in the polar ferrimagnet BaCaFe4O7
Polar or non-centrosymmetric ferri(-o)magnets offer a plethora of potential technological devices;the inherent magnetoelectric effect can underpin both pyroelectric or... -
Determination of the magnetic interactions of low-dimensional binary metal th...
Magnetic molecular framework materials, where the magnetic metal centres are linked together by molecules rather than single atoms, are a very exciting class of materials, as... -
High Temperature study of BaFe2As2
Recent unpublished data collected at MAPS by our group revealed that the spin wave dispersion of the Ba(122) parent differ significantly from Ca(122). In Ba(122) there is a... -
The study of spin excitations in superconducting LiFeAs
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... -
Gaps in the spin wave dispersion relation in elemental iron
Iron is a canonical instance of an itinerant electron ferromagnet, and a classic correlated electron system. Our recent data from MAPS contradicts earlier triple-axis data that... -
The application of INS to investigate the methanol-to-gasoline reaction over ...
As part of a UK Catalysis Hub initiative in Catalyst Design involving a team of academic and industrial researchers, the methanol-to-gasoline reaction over zeolite catalysts is...
