The proposal requests time on OSIRIS to measure the low-energy magnetic fluctuations in CeRhSi3. This compound is a noncentrosymmetric superconductor under pressures of ~10...

The density-driven structural transformations in the magnesium silicate glass MgSiO3 will be investigated at pressures increasing to 17.5 GPa. This glass is one of a family of...

CuFe1-xCrO2 has potential applications as an SOFC cathode material. It exhibits and interesting transformation on oxidation. This is a follow on from our recent HRPD experiment...

It is generally accepted that austenitic steels (fcc) show no ferromagnetic signature. However, thermomagnetic measurements suggest an unexpected ferromagnetic transition (Tc =...

The proposal requests time to measure the low-energy excitations in CaFe2O4 as a function of temperature. Previous experiments have observed a series of in-gap states at high...

We seek to develop new materials for sensing and removal of toxic gases (esp., SO2) and request 2 days on POLARIS to study the structural binding details and dielectric data...

Projected climate change is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and reflectivity, important climatic effects....

The main spectroscopic technique for studying radicals in solids and liquids, ESR, cannot usually be used to study radicals of more than 3-5 atoms in the gas phase due to strong...

This proposal is concerned with determining variations in the high pressure structure of LaCoO3 and observing changes within this as the material undergoes some well...

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...

The next generations of Lithium batteries require materials with an enhanced energy density. The most realistic choice for such systems are the lithium rich electrodes (e.g....

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

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

Organic-inorganic hybrid halide perovskites combine the optoelectronic properties commonly associated with high performance semiconductors with materials synthesis or processing...

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...

This proposal is for crystal-structure (on HRPD) and magnetic ordering (on WISH) studies on the local-moment compound CeRu2Al10. It follows from our recent neutron studies at...

We request 4 days on IRIS to study the temperature dependance of the structural dynamics in amorphous sodium-ammonia (Na-NH3). This will be the first investigation of the...

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 atoms in solid helium are weakly bound and have small mass so that the overlap of their wave functions (zero point motion) is large, making it a quantum solid close to the...
