Vibrational density of States and Occupational Disorder in the Halogenomethanes
Halogenomethane derivatives exhibit thermally induced solid¿solid phase transitions before melting that are attributed to the ability to gain rotational degrees of freedom in... -
Magnetic field diffraction study of Gd2Ti2O7
We propose a study of the magnetic structure of isotopically enriched Gd2Ti2O7. We have successfully grown and characterised large single crystals using low-absorption 160Gd. In... -
Investigating proximity effect in tunneling geometry across STO insulator in ...
Recently a number of studies have been reported in FM/SC multilayers on proximity effect. Taking a step forward we propose to study coupling of SC and FM layers through an... -
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... -
Local structure study of multiferroic region of cupric(II) oxide
Cupric(II) oxide (CuO) has recently found to be both antiferromagnetic and ferroelectric in temperature region from 213 K to 230 K. This high temperature multiferroic material... -
IINS study of the terminating protons in the basic structural units of graphi...
Carbon blacks can be graphitised to different degrees, whereas glassy (vitreous) carbons, which are used as electrode material, in electronics and construction, and as... -
Interface between FeF2 and Bi2Se3
One of the current challenges in solid state physics is the observation and ultimately control of the Majorana excitations sometimes called Majorana fermions. Devices based on... -
Mass-selective neutron spectroscopy of Zr-Be amorphous alloy.
Neutron Compton scattering experiments will be performed for the first time on amorphous metallic system. Obtained results for Zr50Be50 system will be compared with existing... -
Can we use the H-H stretch of adsorbed dihydrogen to characterise materials?
The use of the J 0-to-1 rotational transition of dihydrogen has been extensively used to characterise the state if hydrogen in and on materials. The disadvantage of studying the... -
Superstructures in high-Tc La(2-x)Sr(x)CuO(4+y)
Previous powder diffraction studies of the superoxygenated La(2-x)Sr(x)CuO(4+y) (LSCO+O) system have not provided a model describing the superstructures of the intercalated... -
Understanding absorption of the energetic compound 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-on...
Insensitive munitions (IM) are munitions that will not react violently to accidental insult, thus they are relatively safe to handle and store. Ongoing research into IM has led... -
Investigating the speciation of hydrocarbonaceous deposits formed during oxid...
Propene plays an important role in various petro-chemical applications, such as the production of polypropylene and acrylic acid, but is dependent on the fluctuating prices of... -
Phonons from diffraction and normal mode analysis in HMT
With the overall aim of extending the information derivable in a neutron single crystal diffraction experiment beyond the static structure, we are proposing to perform a... -
Critical and quantum critical spins fluctuations in URhGe
Ferromagnetism in URhGe is continuously suppressed with a magnetic field leading to a Quantum Critical Point (QCP) at around 12 T engulfed by a pocket of superconductivity. The... -
Crystal structure of a new hexagonal layered cobaltate LaBaCoO4+y
We have synthesized a new cobalte oxide compound. We know from preliminary measurements that its crystal structure is hexagonal, and that the magnetic behaviour is intriguing.... -
Magnetic structure of noncentrosymmetric CeZnAl3
The Ce-based materials CeTX3 (T=transition metal, X= Si, Ge, Al) crystallizing in the noncentrosymmetric BaNiSn3-type structure, have been found to display a wealth of novel... -
Nature of the ground state of Dy2Ti2O7 spin ice
Spin ice (SI) is a state of matter characterized by a residual (Pauling) entropy and unusual correlations. The huge interest in SI materials from the magnetism community stems... -
Vibrational frequencies of light-induced photoisomers for optical data storag...
Ruthenium-based SO2 complexes present attractive prospects for next-generation 3-D optical data storage. Light is absorbed by the SO2 group, causing its dark state geometry (0)... -
Low-Temperature Structural Phase Transitions in GeV4S8
The defect thiospinel, GeV4S8 adopts a cubic structure at room temperature (space group F-43m). We have identified a new monoclinic phase of this material at 2K, which may be... -
S=1 triplet character of the resonance peak in CeCoIn5
We propose to investigate the resonance peak in superconducting CeCoIn5 as a function of applied field. Preliminary low resolution cold triple-axis data has been suggestive that...
