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 propose to investigate the temperature dependence of magnetic dead-layer thickness in amorphous ferromagnetic CoFeTaB films on Si and GaAs semiconductor substrates. Magnetic...

A current hot topic in correlated electron physics is the magnetic phase diagram resulting from competing Kondo and RKKY interactions with magnetic frustration. One interesting...

The gas hydrates offer potential as hydrogen and carbon dioxide storage materials for use either in transport applications or for carbon sequestration. We have discovered a...

We propose to study the influence of deposition rates and annealing effects on microporous amorphous solid water samples (ASW) using NIMROD. The data will allow us to monitor...

Hydrogen hydrates are good potential hydrogen storage materials because they are both cheap and environmentally passive. This proposal is to study the crystal structure and...

Water plays a critical role in life. A hydration level, h ~ 0.2 g water/g protein, is found to be the minimum for the dynamical transition in protein at Td ~ 200 K. This...

NaYbS2 is yet unexplored material which crystallizes in the delafossite structure with general formula ABX2. The magnetic ions Yb3+ form perfect triangular layers separated by...

The non conventional d-wave superconductivity in Heavy Fermion compounds seems to be triggered by spin fluctuations, which is in strong contrast to conventional...

Graphene-based materials have unique structural and physiochemical properties, and have been exhibited as efficient working substances to filter salts in saline water....

Many hybrid Prussian blue analogues show exploitable electric behaviour, such as piezo-, pyro-, or ferroelectricity or dielectric switching. We have previously characterised one...

Square-lattice antiferromagnetic oxides with spin S=1/2 provide the basis for many dramatic and interesting phenomena, include high temperature superconductivity observed in...

Normal-to-malignant transformation in human cells, still an ill-understood process, is intimately related to their biomechanical properties, which are strongly dependent on the...

This proposal examines the diffusion behaviour of olefin hydrocarbons adsorbed in microporous zeolite catalysts. It builds on a previous study which has shown that simulated...

This proposal is part of our research programme on novel quantum phases in frustrated lattices. Here we propose to determine the magnetic structure in a quasi-two-dimensional...

We investigated nuclear spin excitations in the multiferroic HoCrO3 on the BASIS spectrometer of SNS, Oak Ridge. We found low energy excitations arising from hyperfine...

The aim of the present proposal is to determine the influence of the different martensite transformation regimes (either stress-assisted or strain-induced) on the proceeding...

Relaxor ferroelectics are of significant interest for use as piezoelectric actuators in sensing applications and for high precision mechanical stages. Relaxors are traditionally...

Given its high hydrogen gravimetric density, ammonia may be utilised as a hydrogen carrier, and thus ammonia stores are an area of interest. It is known that Mg(BH4)2 takes up...

The recent discovery of superconductivity in a series of iron pnictide materials has provided impetus to the field of new materials discovery. Like in the cuprate...
