Magnetoelectric coupling in complex systems
Coupling ferromagnatism and ferroelectriocity in a single phase material at or near room temperature has significant potential for the development of hybrid memory combining the... -
GISANS from Standard Samples
It is necessary to commission 'standard' GISANS samples to ensure that users can validate their measurements on Sans2d. This was put in as a full proposal at the last round and... -
In search of origin of metal-insulator transition in honeycomb structure Li2RuO3
Recently we have carried out inelastic neutron scattering measurements on Li2RuO3 to understand the nature of the phase transition at 550K. We have seen a clear inelastic... -
Morphological and microstructural characterization of three components of the...
The South Gate of Florence Baptistery is a 3 meters high gilded bronze artifact designed by Andrea Pisano and cast by Lorenzo DAvanzo and co-workers between 1329 and 1336. It... -
Temperature dependence of the coercive stress in rhombohedral PZT ceramics
The aim of the proposed experiment is to determine the temperature dependence of the coercive stress, i.e. the critical stress required to induce ferroelastic domain switching,... -
Spinon Confinement and Longitudinal Interchain modes in Yb2Pt2Pb
The f-electron metal Yb2Pt2Pb is best thought of as a one dimensional (1D) quantum spin chain system, despite the fact that the magnetic moments are large and anisotropic with... -
Investigating variation of back stress in 316H during high temperature asymme...
Deformation in polycrystalline material is inhomogeneous. Our previous study using neutron diffraction has shown due to these inhomogeneities, during high temperature cyclic... -
Na-Dynamics in Solid Ionic Conductors: 11Al2O3-Na2O and Na2Ti3O7
We propose to measure the quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) spectra to study the diffusion dynamics in beta- alumina (11Al2O3-Na2O) and Na2Ti3O7. The measurement of QENS... -
Residual stress measurements on cold expanded samples in the initial state an...
Surface treatments such as cold expansion are widely used in industry in order to introduce compressive residual stresses in the bulk of the material in the vicinity of holes,... -
Dynamics of in Poly(vinyl alcohol)-SiC Nanofiber Composite
Inorganic-organic hybrid nanocomposites are formed by incorporating inorganic nanoparticles in soft organic polymer matrices. The dynamics of the polymer can be affected due to... -
A µSR study of non-centrosymmetric superconductors Re6Ti and Re3Mo
Superconductivity in systems which lack inversion symmetry is expected to give rise to a host of unconventional effects, including mixed parity ground-states, and the formation... -
Excitations of the Zeeman ladder in a transverse field in the Ising antiferro...
The excitations of an Ising antiferromagnetic chain have been studied in the past and are known to form either continuous spectrum or Zeeman ladders. Such a system can be... -
Can INS measurements access hydrocarbonaceous overlayers on heterogeneous hyd...
This application seeks to discover whether the catalyst handling protocols refined for INS measurements of a variety of heterogeneous catalytic systems can be further exploited... -
A pair distribution function study to determine the local structure of the ti...
BaTiO3 is the prototypical ferroelectic perovskite and has been well studied for over 60 years. The standard structural picture is that it is cubic and paraelectric at high... -
Towards optimised detergency at low temperatures
This proposal is about the development of sustainable detergency based formulations, based on the blending of biosurfactants with conventional surfactants, and is part of a CASE... -
INS on methane dynamics absorption in dipeptides
The dipeptides are a class of organic molecules that form hexagonal crystalline structures (space group P61) with one-dimensional chiral channels of tunable pore diameters in... -
Interface of heavy metal layer on a ferromagnetic insulator by PNR
In the spin Seebeck effect (SSE), a temperature gradient generates a pure spin current in a ferromagnet. The magnetic insulator yttrium iron garnet Y3Fe5O12 (YIG) covered with a... -
Magnetism, structure and superconductivity in Sr1¿xNaxFe2As2 (HRPD)
We will use the high resolution of HRPD and the excellent long d-spacing data available on OSIRIS to investigate the phase transitions in Sr1-xNaxFe2As2 which are associated... -
Ligand conformation at semiconductor nanoparticle surfaces for high-efficienc...
The efficiency of silicon solar cells is limited to 29%. One possible way of breaking this limit uses a process called singlet fission, converting a high energy photon into two... -
Ferromagnetic ordering in -[Lanthanide(III)-Radical]n- coordination polymers
The recently synthesised molecular magnet [Sm(hfac)3(boaDTDA)]n is the first metal complex of a thiazyl-based neutral radical ligand to exhibit ferromagnetic ordering, with Tc...
