In our recent NRSE experiment on the quasi two-dimensional quantum spin liquid PHCC at TRISP at FRM-II, we have found a zero field splitting (ZFS) of the magnon line of about 50...

The development of more active catalysts for the production of ammonia will have a worldwide impact on the energy cost of producing fertiliser. Composites of lithium hydride and...

Li-ion batteries are interesting because they offer high power and, as a consequence, they are preferred to aqueous-based batteries for traction applications e.g. hybrid...

The aim of this work is to understand the origin of the difference in the behaviour between the two doped manganites Sr0.65Pr0.35MnO3 and Sr0.70Ce0.30MnO3. The hypothesis we...

Polar functional groups on polymer chains are of particular interest for applications in adhesion, printing, biocompatibility and mineralisation. We have created a series of...

Recently, our view of the Earth¿s lower mantle changed dramatically. It had been thought that two major phases were present throughout all of the lower mantle:...

The Earth¿s climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and optical properties, important climatic effects....

This proposal requests 7 days of beamtime on the quasielastic neutron scattering spectrometer OSIRIS to investigate the mechanism of hydride ion mobility in the recently...

This proposal aims to determine the easy axis and Neel temperature of the new epitaxial antiferromagnetic (AFM) thin film CuMnAs. The samples have been fully structurally...

We are proposing to characterize the short range magnetic correlations and dynamics in a single crystal of Yb3Ga5O12, a geometrically frustrated spin liquid candidate. We have...

Hydrogen bonds are ubiquitous in materials across the chemical spectrum, from inorganic to biological. They influence the structure, the functionality, and therefore the...

The two dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a square lattice is one of the most studied model in quantum magnetism . This is in part due to its intrinsic interest but also...

Using quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) we will investigate the intercalation of Ciprofloxacin (CIPRO) into the synthetic clay Lithium – Fluorohectorite (LiFh) to...

Materials exhibiting giant magnetocaloric effect (i.e. the large temperature change under a magnetic field variation) are the most promising type for magnetic refrigeration....

The proposed quasi elastic neutron scattering experiment at ISIS aims at the characterization of the dynamical properties of the series of coordination complexes Pr(BH4)3·nNH3,...

Oxide ion conductors are researched as electrolytes in solid oxide fuel cells. Yttria-stabilized zirconia is the currently used electrolyte in SOFCs, leading to high operating...

We propose to investigate the magnetic excitation spectra of tetravalent uranium ions in two isostructural, one-dimesional chains made up by aligned UM2 units, with M = Pt and...

We propose to develop the means to measure the orientations, phases and strains of individual crystal grains within a polycrystal using neutrons. Such measurements have...

The Pitt Rivers is Oxford University¿s museum of anthropology and world archaeology. The Japanese material includes a large number of items of metalwork. Amongst these, the...

This set of experiments, which will utilize the new kbar pressure range BeCu gas sample cell designed for TOSCA, will experimentally validate the results of our mathematical...
