Mn12, with an anisotropy barrier close to 65 K, has been for 20 years a prototype nanomagnet, but in spite of a number of investigations the actual link between the value of the...

Peptoids are synthetic mimics of peptides (the natural building blocks of proteins) in which the side chain is attached to the backbone amide nitrogen instead of the central...

In 1972, Haupt observed a giant enhancement of proton polarisation in NMR experiments on crystalline g-picoline. Key to this discovery was the implementation of quick...

We propose a high-pressure neutron powder diffraction study of three halogen-bonded complexes, namely trimethylamine:ICl, 1,4-dioxane:(IBr)2 and pyridine:IBr. These are some of...

Chromium is unique amongst the d-band elemental metals in that it has a spin density wave ground state. The spin density wave is caused by Fermi surface nesting between electron...

Electrical steels (ES) used in motors and transformers. The major challenge is to optimise themagnetic property of ES to reduce energy waste during service. The crystallographic...

The FeTe1-xSex series exhibits superconductivity over a broad range of doping. Previously we have made extensive neutron scattering measurements on superconducting x = 0.49 and...

This proposal aims to study the potential for neutron diffraction to offer spatially-, chemically-, and temporally-resolved information on a dynamic system, in this case the...

Characterisation of structures formed within hydrogels is an important part of understanding their properties and how they can be used in real world applications. The real space...

This proposal is part of our research programme to explore the interplay of thermal and quantum fluctuations near zero-temperature quantum phase transitions. Here we apply for a...

Dy3Mg2Sb3O14 forms a layered structure with magnetic Dy3+ ions forming sheets of corner sharing triangles, called a Kagome lattice. The Ising magnetic moments are constrained to...

CuFe1-xCrO2 has potential applications as an SOFC cathode material. It exhibits and interesting transformation on oxidation. This is a follow on from our recent HRPD experiment...

It is generally accepted that austenitic steels (fcc) show no ferromagnetic signature. However, thermomagnetic measurements suggest an unexpected ferromagnetic transition (Tc =...

We seek to develop new materials for sensing and removal of toxic gases (esp., SO2) and request 2 days on POLARIS to study the structural binding details and dielectric data...

Projected climate change is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and reflectivity, important climatic effects....

This proposal is concerned with determining variations in the high pressure structure of LaCoO3 and observing changes within this as the material undergoes some well...

N-acyl amino acids are surfactants with attractive applications in different technological fields. They are referred to as mild surfactants because they are commonly considered...

We have recently discovered a pressure-induced quantum phase transition (QPT) at 4.3 kbar in the gapped quantum magnet piperazinium hexachlorodicuprate (PHCC) by means of...

Negative thermal expansion (NTE), the phenomenon of a material contracting upon heating, is a relatively unique occurrence with practical applications and fundamental structure...

The next generations of Lithium batteries require materials with an enhanced energy density. The most realistic choice for such systems are the lithium rich electrodes (e.g....
