Ho2-xYxSn2O7 is characterized by degenerate magnetic ground-states, which involve the magnetic structure for x->0 (Spin-Ice phase) and the two-fold degeneracy of the...

13 carved busts have ringed the perimeter of the Sheldonian Theatre since 1669. Twice the Heads have been replaced when deteriorated beyond recognition. The second generation...

The method of Se isotope substitution with inelastic neutron scattering will be used to measure the partial VDOS for As2Se3 glass. This is a prototypical network forming...

Ab initio computer simulations have suggested that pre-melting phenomena occur in the elastic properties of hcp-iron at the conditions of the Earth’s inner core just before...

The aim of this experiment is to measure in-situ the high temperature beta phase in a Ti and Zr alloy in order to relate the beta texture with the alpha texture observed at room...

Al2SiO5 forms three naturally-occurring polymorphs, kyanite, andalusite and sillimanite. These minerals are produced by varying degrees of metamorphism of sedimentary rocks, the...

Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG) is a material with extremely wide ranging applications. It is a ferrimagnetic spinel with the narrowest ferromagnetic resonance linewidth of any known...

The rotational line of hydrogen is very clearly measured with TOSCA. For the past few years I have noticed that the changes in the position of the rotational line do not follow...

Given the challenges in providing efficient and non-harmful refrigeration, it is timely to study barocaloric systems, which offer cooling power via the application of pressure,...

Layered perovskites are well known functional materials but, in the context of fluoride chemistry, have so far been restricted to purely inorganic examples: K2NiF4 is the...

We have a range of new structures in the lead-free ferroelectric, candidate multiferroic and SOFC cathode areas. The HRPD data will be used to define these new crystal...

Sr2IrO4 is an important material in condensed matter physics, having been discovered to host a novel Jeff=½ Mott insulating state.Yet while magnetic fluctuations play a crucial...

We request 2 days on MAPS (or 3 days on MARI) to determine the extent of solvent segregation in a liquid-liquid phase-separated metal-amine: The Li-NH3-MeNH2 system. Recently we...

When synthesised at high pressure and temperature, holmium germanate adopts the pyrochlorestructure. Because of its geometry, materials with this structure often have exotic and...

Amorphous alloys are of particular interest due to their less susceptibility to hydrogen embrittlement and corrosion, superior mechanical properties and more importantly lower...

This proposal aims to understand how the structure of non-ionic surfactant micelles affects the amount of fungicides solubilised. SANS is a technique unique for unravelling the...

The current proposal seeks to establish the origin of t non-perovskite-like peak splitting observed in HRPD data for NaTaO3. It is our hypothesis that this is a result of the...

This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding how keratin, an important protein component of hair and skin, interacts with ionic surfactants using...

HRPD data will be collected in situ at low and high temperatures from perovskites belonging to the Sr(ZrxTi1-x)O3 solid solution which have recently been characterised for their...

The maximum operating temperature of standard ISIS furnaces with vanadium elements and shields is limited to 1000C (1100C under exceptional circumstances). The ultra...
