Several non-centrosymmetric heavy-fermion compounds have been reported to exhibit unconventional superconductivity (SC). For example, both CeRhSi3 and CeIrSi3 order...

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...

Considering interesting physical properties observed in CeCuxAl4-x our aim is to investigate the stability of vibron excitations, already observed in CeCuAl3, as a function of...

Magnetoresistance (MR) is defined as the relative change in the compound electrical resistivity upon application of an external magnetic field. It is the fundamental property on...

Recently we have investigated magnetic and quadrupolar ordered states of YbRu2Ge2 using zero-field muon spin relaxation (µSR), neutron diffraction and inelastic neutron...

The proposal addresses the average structures of new lead-free ferroelectrics, low-temperature ionic conductors and mixed conductors which are candidate solid oxide fuel cell...

We propose to investigate the magnetic fluctuations in a charge ordered magnet. Rb(Fe2+Fe3+)F6 is loosely based on a distorted Kagome framework with alternating chains of...

This proposal was submitted on MERLIN (RB1010206) and beam time was allocated on MARI. We have carried out low energy measurements on MARI and found a clear evidence of the spin...

Repair welding of nickel superalloys is being investigated at Cranfield University to determine repair techniques which minimise liquation and post-weld heat treatment cracking...

Antibody-antigen binding has been extensively used in many technological applications such as immunoassays, chemical analysis and bionanotechnology. The crucial element...

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...

Our neutron study using MARI/MERLIN on Ce(Ru1-xFex) 2Al10 reveals very interesting magnetic excitations and a manuscript is ready to submit to PRB. In x=0 (TN=27 K) a...

For non-Fermi liquid compounds, the dynamical susceptibility, as determined from inelastic neutron scattering, is particularly interesting as it exhibits universal energy...

We have recently investigated a hybridization gap in Kondo systems using HET and several papers along with a review have been published. Our study shows a universal scaling...

Hydrogen absorption in RMn2 Laves phases compounds lead either to RMn2Hx (where x < 4.5) interstitial hydrides under a moderate H2 pressure or to RMn2H6 complex hydrides...

Dy2Ti2O7 is a pyrochlore antiferromagnet that has a partial magnetization plateau between 0.1 and 0.9T for magnetic fields applied along the [111] direction. This represents a...

The discovery of unconventional superconductivity (SC) in several heavy fermion (HF) compounds has attracted considerable attention. Recently we have investigated CeTSi3 (T=Rh...

The Shastry-Sutherland lattice (SSL) can be described as a 2D square lattice built up from a network of dimers disposed orthogonally and has been observed in SrCu2(BO2)3....

Our neutron study on YbAl3C3 reveals the presence of two well defined magnetic excitations at 1.5 and 3 meV at 4 K due to spin-dimer formation. Interestingly the specific heat...

In centrosymmetric heavy-fermion (HF) superconductors Cooper pairs have either singlet or triplet symmetry. Recently a handful of non-centrosymmetric Ce-based HF compounds have...
