Structure of niobium phosphate glasses
Niobium is one of the candidates for causing strong non-linear optical properties in oxide glasses. Recently, Raman gain experiments on niobium phosphate glasses were quite... -
Mercury sulphide dimorphism in liquids and glasses
A waste majority of crystals exists in several polymorphic forms in different domains of the P,T-diagram. Liquids and glasses also exhibit polyamorphism and the question remains... -

Neutron spectroscopy of a novel family of Ln2 dimers
Molecular nanomagnets containing 4f ions are attracting an increasing interest because of their large magnetic anisotropy and slow relaxation of magnetization originating from... -
The Nature Of Zinc Substitution in Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate
We have a long established interest in the materials used for the immobilisation of nuclear waste from the domestic power industry and legacy waste from various defence... -
Probing re-entrant glassy state in spin chain compound Sm2BaNiO5 using µ-SR s...
We are currently investigating Haldane spin-chain compounds [PRB 2017] of the type R2BaNiO5 (R = rare earth) using bulk measurements and have found the multifunctional... -
Investigation of compressive residual stresses induced by ultrasonic peening ...
Surface stress engineering processes aim to improve the life of components through the generation of favorable compressive residual stress fields by locally plastically... -
Investigation of Crystal and Magnetic Structures in high pressure synthesized...
Three new doubly ordered perovskites NaYMWO6 (M=Mn, Co & Ni) have been synthesized by high pressure and high temperature. Analysis of room temperature laboratory X-ray... -
What processes dominate porosity and structure evolution in Amorphous Solid W...
This experiment will measure the microstructure of Amorphous Solid Water (ASW), a porous material that can be formed by vapour-depositing water onto a cold plate, an excellent... -
MuSR Study of Magnetically Frustrated Lu2Mo2(O,N)7 pyrochlores
The combination of magnetic frustration and low magnetic moment leads to non-classical magnetic behaviour such as spin liquid states. We have prepared polycrystalline samples of... -
Spin dynamics of the Mn12 prototype nanomagnet fully unravelled by 4-dimensio...
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... -
Long-Range and Local Structures of New Pyrochlores and Fluorites
We propose to study by total neutron scattering the structures of some complex oxide materials prepared by new hydrothermal routes in order to construct structural models... -
The ground state of a Kondo ion: V dissolved in the noble metal Au.
The 'non-magnetic' ground state of a Kondo ion is generally believed to consist of the localised spin surrounded by a compensating cloud of conduction electrons coupled... -
Isotopic Characterisation of Pore Surface Chemistry in Monolithic MCM-41 Subs...
Porous materials impregnated with metal nanoparticles are extremely useful in catalysis, an industry that had a global turnover in 2010 of over three trillion dollars.... -
Local structure of the semiconductor caesium lead iodide
Caesium lead iodide is of interest both as a photoluminescent material whose optical properties may be tuned by creating nanoscale structures, and as an inorganic analogue of... -
Milimeter-Sized Water Ice Pebbles for Planetary Science Experiments: Characte...
Understanding the planetary formation process by the coagulation of interstellart dust grains requires to study the ice-phase dependant collisional properties of icy dust... -
Spin Coherent Transport in Organic Spin-Valves
We have recently performed a `proof-of-principle' Low Energy Muon Spin Rotation experiment on an organic spin valve. In an extension to our muon measurements and an attempt to... -
The Structural Effects of adding TiO2 to Calcium Phosphate Glasses.
This study will investigate the structural effect of adding titanium oxide to a calcium phosphate bioactive glass. We wish to understand the structural origins of the increased... -
Spatial, Chemical, and Temporal Resolution of Platinum-Catalysed Benzene Conv...
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... -
Amorphous Micrometre-Sized Water Ice Particles for Planetary Science Experime...
We request 5 days on NIMROD to characterise the pressure and temperature dependent properties of amorphous icy particles generated in liquid ethane, as they will be used in...
