The Novel Quenching and Partitioning (Q&P) Heat-treatment Process
Q&P heat-treatments typically consist of an ¿Austenitisation - Interrupted Quench ¿ Partition ¿ Final Quench¿ heat treatment process. During the partitioning stage carbon... -
Hydrogen production from ammonia using lithium imide: an isotope study
We have recently discovered that light metal amides and imides are excellent cattalysts for the decomposition of ammonia. We request 3 days on POLARIS to perform in situ neutron... -

Analysis of Celtic coins from northern Italy
The main purpose of the experiment is to analyze structural properties and composition of different series of Celtic drachmas (mainly from Torino Antiquities Museums). We would... -
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... -
The high temperature phases of multiferroic YMnO3
Hexagonal YMnO3 is a well-studied, but poorly understood, multiferroic material, which adopts the 'geometric' mechanism of ferroelectric distortion, rather than the more normal... -
How complex is complex: an ALC study of a 10-mer helical peptide chain
There have been ALC studies on the interaction of muons with native proteins, but little systematic work that contributes understanding of how spectroscopic information alters... -
Cs mixed cation lead perovskites
Organic-inorganic hybrid halide perovskites combine the optoelectronic properties commonly associated with high performance semiconductors with materials synthesis or processing... -
Demystifying the Haupt effect: the need for neutron scattering
In 1972, Haupt observed a giant enhancement of proton polarisation in NMR experiments on crystalline g-picoline. Key to this discovery was the implementation of quick... -
High pressure structural studies of halogen bonded systems
We propose a high-pressure neutron powder diffraction study of three halogen-bonded complexes, namely trimethylamine:ICl, 1,4-dioxane:(IBr)2 and pyridine:IBr. These are some of... -
Magnetic Excitations in Chromium
Chromium is unique amongst the d-band elemental metals in that it has a spin density wave ground state. The spin density wave is caused by Fermi surface nesting between electron... -
Investigation into the Effect of Heating Rates on Recrystallisation Mechanism...
Electrical steels (ES) used in motors and transformers. The major challenge is to optimise themagnetic property of ES to reduce energy waste during service. The crystallographic... -
Single-Crystal Neutron Diffraction Studies of Giant Pentaphosphaferrocene-Bas...
Single crystal neutron diffraction using SXD diffractometer of crystals containing giant pentaphosphaferrocene-based supramolecules. Aims are the localization of the disordered... -
A model of the bacterial outer membrane containing both Outer Membrane Protei...
We have recently improved the stability and coverage of free standing bilayers (FSB) by the use of a supporting thiolipid layer on gold. The system has been investigated on... -
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... -
Can SANS confirm whether dimensions from microscopy of dried gels are represe...
Characterisation of structures formed within hydrogels is an important part of understanding their properties and how they can be used in real world applications. The real space... -
Temperature dependence of spin dynamics near quantum criticality in an Ising ...
This proposal is part of our research programme to explore the interplay of thermal and quantum fluctuations near zero-temperature quantum phase transitions. Here we apply for a... -
Universal Quantum-Critical Dynamics of a Two Dimensional Antiferromagnet
We have recently discovered a pressure-induced quantum phase transition (QPT) at 4.3 kbar in the gapped quantum magnet piperazinium hexachlorodicuprate (PHCC) by means of... -
Dy3Mg2Sb3O14 - a 2D Kagome lattice with Classical Ising Spins
Dy3Mg2Sb3O14 forms a layered structure with magnetic Dy3+ ions forming sheets of corner sharing triangles, called a Kagome lattice. The Ising magnetic moments are constrained to... -
Magnetic excitations in Strontium Erbium Oxide
In SrEr2O4 the magnetic Er ions are linked through a network of triangles and hexagons, where geometrical frustration can arise, provided that some exchange interactions are...
