In recent years there has been a large interest in geometrically frustrated magnetic systems, especially those with spins interacting on two-dimensional triangular lattices...

Hybrid metal-organic perovskites are promising functional materials, but the complex interactions between organic cations and the framework surrounding them are difficult to...

Cerium-based Kondo lattice compounds have received great attention, owing mostly to the variety of exotic ground states that they exhibit (e.g., unconventional...

Colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) is observed in the oxypnictide NdMnAsO1-xFx (x = 0 - 0.085) at low temperature. The CMR in NdMnAsO1-xFx arises due to competition between a...

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...

Several non-centrosymmetric heavy-fermion compounds have been reported to exhibit unconventional superconductivity (SC). For example, both CeRhSi3 and CeIrSi3 order...

We wish to measure the partial dynamical structure factors and the partial vibrational density of states (VDOS) for the archetypal network forming glass GeSe2 by using the...

Water is crucial for the functioning of proteins. There has been substantial work to study the effect of water on protein dynamics, structure and function. However, how protein...

The proposed quasi elastic neutron scattering experiment at ISIS aims at the characterization of the dynamical properties of the series of coordination complexes Pr(BH4)3·nNH3,...

Fischer-Tropsch (FT) catalysts offer a route to the production of fuels and chemicals from synthesis gas, which has a number of sources. This reaction is likely to play a key...

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...

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...

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

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...

Bio-oil is an alternative and renewable energy from biomass, however, its high content of oxygenates result in low heating values and chemical/thermal instability. One effective...

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...

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...

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...

Bio-oil can be obtained from the pyrolysis of biomass and maintains a closed carbon cycle with no net increase in atmospheric CO2 level, making the environment cleaner. However,...

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