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...

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...

BiFeO3 is a canonical multiferroic material. We know that local (nanoscale) order is crucial in explaining the behaviour of conventional ferroelectrics, and reciprocal space...

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...

We will search for spin-orbit transitions of the Co3+ ions in LaCoO3. The ground state is a non-magnetic singlet, but there continues to be a debate about the nature of the...

Since the discovery of high transition temperature (high Tc) copper oxide, many efforts have been made on the understanding of its electronic and magnetic properties. Although...

In our first measurement of the high energy spectrum of LaCoO3 we observed a signal which is a promising candidate for an electronic transition from the low spin ground state of...

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...

Understanding high-temperature superconductivity is a major aim of condensed-matter science, which is of fundamental importance and may ultimately allow the design of materials...

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...

Lu and Yb counterparts of RE3Fe5O12 will be appropriate platform to reveal the complex magnetic ground state of rare earth iron garnets with common formula RE3Fe5O12. Lu3+ does...

Pseudoelastic, ferromagnetic Co2NiGa type high-temperature shape memory alloys (HT-SMAs) are characterized by a wide range of tunable transformation temperatures and lower...

We aim at investigating a new method to create dissipation less currents. We combine a topological insulator with an antiferromagnet to induce ferromagnetic order in the...

Discovery and development of advanced materials requires understanding and control of the relationship between composition, structure and function. In crystalline materials,...

This proposal seeks to investigate the effect of temperature on the structures of thallium and caesium azide. High-resolution neutron powder diffraction data are necessary to...

At low temperatures FeSi is a non-magnetic insulator, but becomes a metallic paramagnet for T > 300K. It has been proposed to be a Kondo insulator in which local electron...

20 years ago, Anderson proposed that the thermoelastic properties of the dominant (mantle) phase within the Earth, MgSiO3 perovskite, could be described as a simple Debye solid....

High resolution powder diffraction data will be used to obtain lattice parameter and atomic coordinate variations as a function of temperature for Pr0.6Ca0.4MnO3, which has a...

In 2010 several groups showed that iron selenide, already a superconductor at 8 K, could be charged with alkali cations leading to higher critical temperatures. These compounds...

We propose to simultaneously collect diffuse and Bragg scattering in the amino acids L-Serine, L-Alanine, and their joint dipeptide L-Alanine-L-Serine hydrate and ask for 8 days...
