Proton ordering and hydrogen bonding in the hydrous zinc phosphate hopeite, Z...
We request 4 days of beamtime on SXD in order to locate the protons and quantify their ordering within the structure of hopeite Zn3(PO4)2.4H2O. Hopeite is an important phase in... -
Anomalous magnetism in oxygen-deficient scandium-doped spin ice
Our previous diffuse neutron scattering experiment on SXD showed that oxygen vacancies are the dominant defects in spin ice. The substitution of tetravalent titanium by... -
Single Crystal Neutron Diffraction Study of the Antibiotic Doxycycline
Doxycycline is a wide-spectrum, widely used antibiotic. In its hydrochloride form it can be used as a model for characterizing antibiotic-protein interactions. We have collected... -
Ordered structures in the new Topological Insulators
We propose to investigate the structure of the new ¿ordered¿ phases within the Bi2Se3-Bi2Te3 phase diagram of the newly discovered Topological Insulators. The bulk properties of... -
Oxide ion defects distribution and conduction pathways in apatite-type silicates
Apatites are functional materials with important potential applications as solid electrolytes, and also as biomaterials, ceramics for nuclear waste immobilisation, and... -

Oxygen-deficient quantum spin ice
In quantum analogues of the spin ice materials quantum mechanical tunneling between ground states is expected, and exotic emergent behaviour has been predicted including a Higgs... -
Unusual higher order incommensurate components in the magnetic structure of TmCu
This proposal forms a very specific part of our project to investigate complex magnetic structures in rare earth intermetallics. In extensive bulk measurements on high purity... -
Anharmonic thermal motion of hydrogen atom(s)
This is a feasibility study of a possible influence of anharmonic thermal motion of hydrogen atom(s) on quantitative electron density distributions in single crystals of model... -
Characterisation of diffuse scattering in β-Ti GUM metal
The goal of this proposal is to measure the diffuse scattering in Beta-Ti Gum Metal. We have measured the phonon dispersion curves and have found several soft-phonon anomalies... -
Evaluation of the impact of oriented particles on the stress-induced martensi...
Using the SXD Laue Diffractometer we intend to conduct in-situ mechanical tests on Co49Ni21Ga30 single crystals of various orientations to assess martensite variant selection... -
Short range spin ice type correlations of HoAgGe by diffuse neutron scattering
Spin ices are exotic phases of matter characterized by frustrated spins obeying local ice rules that minimize the number of spatially isolated magnetic monopoles, in analogy... -
Crystal structures of Na2MoO4.10H2O, Na2WO4.10H2O and Na2MnO4.10H2O.
Chemical substitution is a valuable technique for probing the behaviour of materials since this exerts a stress comparable in many respects to changes in pressure or... -
Local magnetic order and the paramagnetic-parmagnetic transition in MnO
The antiferromagnetic-paramagnetic transition in MnO at 118 K occurs at a much lower temperature than anticipated from its Curie-Weiss constant theta~550 K. Consequently, strong... -

Intrinsic defect structures in zinc oxide
Zinc oxide is an important semiconductor, but its use in a wide range of applications is limited by the difficulty in doping p-type. This is believed to be related to the nature... -
Structural Studies of 9-methyltriptycenes
We aim at obtaining reliable structural information for selected compounds from a series of four 9-methyltripticene derivatives. These compounds form in the solid state... -
Magnetism and structural diffuse scattering in α-CoV3O8:
We propose to measure the magnetic structure and diffuse scattering in a Vanadium Bronze material α-CoV3O8. These materials are of interest due to possible applications for...
