The present proposal is part of a larger EPSRC project advancing the vibrational spectroscopy of silicate glasses. The project involves the techniques of IR and Raman...

Unconventional superconductivity has recently been suggested in the new class of iron-based superconductors in which unusual gap symmetries have been observed together with...

One-dimensional (1D) or two-dimensional (2D) topologies between magnetic ions generally favour strong magnetic anisotropy and offer exotic fundamental states and other phenomena...

We have recently prepared mesoporous forms of various metals oxides. In some cases the imposition of a mesostructure changes other properties of the material significantly. One...

We request 5 days on VESUVIO in order to examine the sensitivity of 87Sr (n,) resonances and DINS to the metal-insulator and liquid-solid transitions in the Sr-NH3...

This proposal is part of our research programme to explore novel phases stabilized by the combined effect of spin-orbit interaction and electron correlations. Here we aim to...

Molecular nanomagnets containing 4f ions are attracting an increasing interest because of their large magnetic anisotropy and slow relaxation of magnetization originating from...

Zeolites are porous framework materials that have active catalytic sites inside narrow channels. Unwanted reactions create coke in the pores which may block access to the active...

We have reported magnetic structure of Sr3NiIrO6, which gives two possible solutions. Our theory shows that reported magnetic structure is not ground state magnetic structure....

The proposing team is interested in exploring the low-temperature quantum "rattling" dynamics of helium atom(s) trapped in water-based cages (namely the so-called "clathrate...

Via chi¿¿(Q,E) we aim to investigate the dependence of the Kondo temperature TK of YbInCu4 on external pressure and substitution. YbInCu4 undergoes a first-order isostructural...

One-dimensional magnetic materials have been widely studied due to their often remarkable ground states and excitations. Recent study of the triclinic form of CoV2O6 brannerite...

The study of skyrmion (magnetic vortex) lattice formation below ~30 K in chiral magnet MnSi has gotten very good attention in the recent times. Few of the key questions concerns...

This proposal seeks to establish the importance of orbital ordering on the stability of the tetragonal phase in Cu doped SrRiuO3. Orbital ordering is believed to be a...

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...

We propose to perform neutron diffraction experiments under high-pressure and magnetic field condition for multiferroic DyMnO3, using WISH beamline in combination with...

A recent beautifully resolved INS spectrum of solid ammonia shows distinct differences in phonon states compared to initial calculation. This suggests that strong...

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...

Preliminary bulk measurements show that Ba(TiO)Cu4(PO4)4 is a potentially exciting candidate for studies of low-dimensional magnetism. However, currently relatively little is...

This proposal aims to investigate the dynamics of the melting transition in H2O and CO2 when confined in a vycor (SiO2) matrix. The field of fluids in confined geometries is...
