Reorientational dynamics in a low-dimensional glass
Most of the features exhibited by canonical glass-formers can also be found in systems with a high-degree of translational order. In addition to the well-known orientationally... -
Compositional analysis and working technique determination of five Japanese T...
The Pitt Rivers is Oxford University¿s museum of anthropology and world archaeology. The Japanese material includes a large number of items of metalwork. Amongst these, the... -
What really governs porosity in Amorphous Solid Water (ASW)?
This experiment will establish the structural changes that occur in Amorphous Solid Water (ASW), a porous material that can be formed by vapour-depositing water onto a cold... -
Influence of Zeolite Structure on propane/propene separation from mixtures us...
Zeolites are perhaps the most successful microporous materials used for catalysis and separation processes in refineries and chemical industries[1-3]. This is due to the... -
Diffraction peak shape and polycrystalline plasticity modelling
We propose to exploit the high resolution and well defined peak shape on HRPD to measure the evolution of peak profile shape at the early stages of deformation in stainless... -
Systematic Investigation of Magnetically Doped Toplogical Insulators
Topological insulators (TIs) are of inherent interest as they are conducting on the surface whilst insulating on the bulk. We would like to investigate magnetically doped... -
Solid state phase transformations at very high temperature in a martensitic s...
Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is a technique of Additive Manufacturing of metallic parts. There are still several barriers of acceptance of that process in the industry and... -
Investigating the ammoniation of light metal hydrides for hydrogen storage ap...
Light-metal hydride and amide systems are currently among the most promising materials for reversible hydrogen storage. In this proposal, we ask for 3 days on POLARIS or GEM to... -
Structure in Polymer Conetworks
This proposal is part of a new research programme at Reading which is focused on a new types of macromolecular structures namely conetworks and pseudo-conetworks. These are... -
Mass-seective neutron Compton spectroscopy in formic acid: a test of phase po...
Formic acid (FA), HCOOH, is the simplest carboxylic acid. Its two oxygen acceptor sites and two hydrogen bond acceptor sites provide several possibilities for hydrogen bond... -
Strain/order parameter coupling and anomalous elastic properties of Sr(Ti,Zr)...
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... -
Structural origin of negative thermal expansion in ScF3
Scandium fluoride has recently been identified as a very simple example of a material showing negative thermal expansion over a wide range of temperatures. In particular, it... -

Does Na2Co2TeO6 realize the Kitaev model?
Preliminary data on the spin excitation spectrum of the honeycomb lattice compound Na2Co2TeO6 are consistent with the existence of Kitaev interactions, as was recently proposed... -
Kinetics of Protein Adsorption on well-characterised polymer brushes
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 -... -
The effect of magnetic structure on ordred/disordered IrMn3 exchange-biasing ...
The exchange biasing effect in the thin film IrMn3/Fe depends strongly on the degree of structural ordering of the underling antiferromagnetic IrMn3 pinning layer. In this work... -
Magnetic excitations in a frustrated Cairo pentagon lattice.
We propose to measure the high energy magnon spectrum of Bi2Fe4O9 in order to finalize a spin wave model and to classify this compound within the theoretical phase diagram of... -
Magnetic order in the first hybrid layered fluoroperovskites
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... -
