Investigation of PVC plasticizers on phospholipid monolayers
Plastic bags are used as containers for storage of donated blood. These bags are typically made out of PVC plasticized with dialkylphthalates (e.g. DEHP), which migrates into... -
The Structure of the High-Energy ¿Paramagnon¿ Excitations in La2-xSrxCuO4
A major problem in physics is the identification of the mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity. Many theories purport to explain the high-Tc phenomenon. In most... -
Magnetic Excitations in 50% Cu substituted BaFe2-xCuxAs2
We find unusual antiferromagnetic order in Cu heavily overdoped BaFeCuAs2 with the order wave vector at (0.5 0.5 1). This anitiferromagnetic signal cannot come from the parent... -
In-situ neutron study of Oxygen absorption in YBaCo4O7+δ
A recent addition to the list of emergent materials is the ReBaCo4O7+delta family of compounds. Indeed, due to the magnitude of their oxygen uptake and release capability, they... -
Studies of propene formation by gasoline cracking in steamed ZSM-5 by INS
Fluidised Catalytic Cracking (FCC) units (shown below) are one of the major conversion units in modern petrochemical refineries. ZSM-5 additives. These are used in FCC units to... -
Spin anisotropy of Seff=1/2 triangular rare-earth based antiferromagnets
In quantum magnetism significant efforts have been devoted to the search for new quantum states. In particular the Quantum Spin Liquid (QSL) state on the triangular lattice has... -
Pressure effect on high-temperature multiferroic CuO studied by a single crys...
We propose to perform neutron diffraction experiment under high pressure condition, using a single crystal of CuO on WISH beamline. This monoxide is known as a multiferroic... -

Understanding the mechanism of benzyl alcohol oxidation using supported Au-Pd...
Gold, in its nano-scale, has been found to be very effective catalyst for oxidation reactions. More recently, it was shown that supported Au-Pd catalysts can be used for... -
Ammonia synthesis using lithium hydride-metal nitride composites: an in situ ...
The development of more active catalysts for the production of ammonia will have a worldwide impact on the energy cost of producing fertiliser. Composites of lithium hydride and... -
In situ diffraction studies of cathode materials for Li ion batteries
Li-ion batteries are interesting because they offer high power and, as a consequence, they are preferred to aqueous-based batteries for traction applications e.g. hybrid... -
The Crystal Structure of a New Hydrogen Hydrate
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... -
The role of Disorder in Phase Transitions in some manganese Perovskites
The aim of this work is to understand the origin of the difference in the behaviour between the two doped manganites Sr0.65Pr0.35MnO3 and Sr0.70Ce0.30MnO3. The hypothesis we... -
Crystal electric field splitting in the quantum spin liquid candidate NaYbS2.
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... -
Kond scale of CeRh1-xIrxIn5 with x= 0, 0.25, 0.3, 0.5, 0.8 and 1
The non conventional d-wave superconductivity in Heavy Fermion compounds seems to be triggered by spin fluctuations, which is in strong contrast to conventional... -
The ferroelectric phase transition in Dion-Jacobson layered perovskites - con...
Ferroelectricity in the Dion-Jacobson (DJ) family of layered perovskites arises from a 'trilinear coupling', whereby two non-polar lattice modes interact in such a way to... -
Understanding the "post-perovskite" structure (I): the Behaviour of CaPtO3 at...
Recently, our view of the Earth¿s lower mantle changed dramatically. It had been thought that two major phases were present throughout all of the lower mantle:... -
Pressure-dependence of the anisotropic exchange interactions in two closely r...
There are no magneto-structural correlations for clusters containing transition metal ions with non-zero orbital angular momentum in the ground state. Octahedrally coordinated... -

Magnetic excitations in the S=1/2 ferromagnetic semiconductor Lu2V2O7
Lu2V2O7 is a rare example of an S=1/2 pyrochlore. The fact that it is a ferromagnet with Tc=70 K belies the fact that it has some truly remarkable properties. These include the...
