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... -
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... -
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... -
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... -

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... -
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... -
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... -
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... -
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... -

Distribution of comonomer units in biodegradable semicrystalline copolymers
Aliphatic polyesters are the most attractive candidates for biodegradable polymers. To improve their physical properties while maintaining biodegradability, incorporating... -
Charge ordering in Ortho-VIII YBCO
The relationship between spin and charge correlations (stripes) continues to be one of the major issues in high temperature (cuprate) superconductivity. Under some circumstances... -
Superstructures in iron-based superconductor Cs0.8Fe1.6Se2
Cs0.8Fe1.6Se2 becomes superconducting below 27K despite the presence of antiferromagnetism with a large moment of about 3.3 Bohr magnetons and an unusually high ordering... -
Investigating the origin of thermochromism in N-salicylideneanilines
Anils, N-salicylideneanilines, display thermochromism, which is thought to involve an intramolecular proton shift, but to-date the structural changes postulated to occur during... -
Single-crystal neutron diffraction studies of chain-ordered brownmillerite su...
We are performing structural investigations of a series of brownmillerites (Sr,Ca)2(Fe,Co)2O5 which display long-range modulated ordering of oxygen vacancies at ambient and high... -
Influence of superstructures on rich transport properties of lithium cobaltate
In the vicinity of x ~ 0.75, LixCoO2 has potential as a thermoelectric, since it has a high Seebeck coefficient and metallic conductivity. We have performed the first successful... -
Elucidating the Structure of [(LaCl)Ti28O40(OEt)38(X)]; but what is X?
Metal-doped TiO2 have particular applications as in catalysis of a range of reactions as well as in luminescence materials. Our strategy is to make well-defined molecular TixOy... -
Defect structure of oxygen-deficient Yb2Zr2O6.5
Ytterbium zirconate is of fundamental interest as a model frustrated magnet, and of potential technological importance as a thermal barrier material. In both cases oxygen... -
Determination of the Crystallographic and Magnetic structures of RbMnBr3, RbF...
We propose to study the crystal structures of RbMnBr3, RbFeBr3 and RbNiBr3 between 300 and 0.3 K. RbMnBr3 under goes two structural phase transition by reducing Rb coordination....
