Evidence of long-range order has been observed in the diffuse neutron scattering data for a single crystal of HoTbTi2O7.A spin ice like pattern and pinch points coexist with the...

Honeycomb ruthenates (Ru4+, 4d4) with strong spin-orbit coupling are expected to host unconventional magnetic ground state owing to a spin-orbital-entangled Jeff = 0 state. The...

In oder to understand our universe, we built large research facilities such as the LHC in Switzerland, which can be used to find new particles. In the solid state, such...

Thermal batteries are used in applications were high reliability is a key requirement. They can be stored for decades and activated in less than a second. Most contemporary...

The recently reported double perovskite analogue imidazolium potassium iron(III) cyanide is noteworthy for two reasons. First, the order-disorder phase transitions, in which the...

Lipopolysaccharides are amphiphilic macromolecules indispensable for the growth and the survival of Gram-negative bacteria, one of the most diffuse classes of pathogenic...

Recent studies in our laboratory have shown that a range of A-site deficient perovskite oxides, with carefully tuned chemical compositions, exhibit excellent properties when...

Iron oxide nanoparticles are one of the first nanomaterials to be approved for use in the body. However, research into particle binding and incorporation to, as well as...

We wish to develop a rational understanding of the mechanisms underlying the way water soluble polymer brushes - in particular those of polyethylene oxide/polyethylene glycol -...

Recent studies in our laboratory have shown that a range of A-site deficient perovskite oxides, with carefully tuned chemical compositions, exhibit excellent properties when...

The main objective of the present work is to complete some work aimed at gaining an understanding of the interaction of phospholipid membranes containing the neutral helper...

We have recently demonstrated that in organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs) the additive 1,8-diiodooctane (DIO) largely remains in the film after spin-coating acting as a...

The nanoscale pores in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can be exploited to confine small molecular guests to yield Guest@MOF composite systems. One interesting avenue is to...

We plan to investigate the use of the isotope 193Ir for studies of magnetism in iridium containing materials using Sr2IrO4 as a test case. This isotope is important for neutron...

The study of porous metal-organic framework (MOF) materials has attracted considerable attention. We seek to develop new stable MOFs for practical separation of light...

SrCu$_2$(BO$_3$)$_2$ (SCBO) is a very much studied quantum magnet that is most well known for its ground state of coupled singlets and multiple magnetization plateaux. Recently,...

We request 3 days on POLARIS to study the detailed crystal structure of a sodium battery cathode material that is currently under consideration for use in commercial sodium...

Crystallisation of membrane proteins as a precursor to high resolution structural studies is a significant research bottleneck. We are investigating alternative methods to...

Polyurethane foams (PUFs) are commonly prepared by mixing Pluronic type copolymers and isocyanate reactive monomers in the presence of additives e.g. catalysts, blowing agent...

This proposal seeks to test a new battery designed to allow in situ neutron diffraction measurements of lithium ion battery electrodes under charge and discharge. We have...
