We propose to study an effect of uniaxial pressure on a magnetic structure of triangular antiferromagnet PdCrO2. The experiment will mark a technical milestone in development of...

BiFeO3 is the most widely studied multiferroic and rare earth doping overcomes problems associated with phase metastability and leakage which have hampered applications. We...

In a previous WISH experiment, we have succeeded in determining the incommensurate cycloidal magnetic structure of AgFeO2, which induces a ferroelectric polarization[1]....

BiFeO3 is a room temperature multiferroic, displaying both ferroelectric and antiferromagnetic (AFE) ordering. x-BiFeO3 - (1-x)-PbTiO3 is also multiferroic at room temperature...

Silk materials have been the focus of renewed attention because they exhibit extraordinary mechanical strength and toughness.Two main factors are critical for understanding...

Ba3BiIr2O9 and Ba3BiRu2O9 undergo very unusual structural transitions at 74 and 176 K respectively, with instantaneous negative thermal expansion of up to 1% in the Ir compound....

Ammonia Borane (AB), NH3BH3, was first synthesised in the 1950s and has now become the focus of a world wide research program with regards to its potential as a hydrogen store....

This proposal is part of a project in which we explore the unusual physics of 5d transition metal oxides. Using a special high pressure technique, we have synthesised first...

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 frustration - the inability to mutually satisfy all magnetic interactions in a system - is the source of many interesting phenomena, including spin liquids and ices. In...

Sr3Ru2O7 is a layered Ruddlesden-Popper perovskite which displays intriguing behaviour at low temperatures and high magnetic field. It can be tuned close to a quantum critical...

Lignin valorization is receiving increasing attention. We request 7 days on TOSCA to carry out inelastic neutron scattering (INS) study of two key chemical processes in lignin...

Carbon blacks can be graphitised to different degrees, whereas glassy (vitreous) carbons, which are used as electrode material, in electronics and construction, and as...

The unique "hourglass"-type dispersion observed within several classes of hole-doped cuprates has garnered considerable theoretical and experimental interest. Here we propose to...

YbAl3C3 undergoes a structural phase transition at 80 K and a spin-dimer formation below 10K. To gain more information on the nature of the spin-dimer state and the phase...

In the last few years functionalised carbon nanotubes and carbon nanofibers have shown promising results in the area of heterogeneous catalysis due to the ability to tune the...

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...

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...

The manipulation of magnetic properties electronically is of great importance in modern computing. Current technology uses electric currents which draws a relatively large...

Diamond nanoparticles (nanodiamonds) are a constituent of diverse systems including interstellar dusts and meteorites or carbonaceous residues of detonation. Nanodiamonds have a...
