The LaFe13-xSix system (x<1.6) has a first order ferromagnetic, FM, to paramagnetic, PM, transition that is tunable in magnetic field, ending at a (tri)critical point (Hcrit,...

We propose to measure the high energy magnetic dispersion of CuO. At high energies, CuO exhibits quasi-1D spin-1/2 chain magnetic behaviour. Our previous studies have revealed...

Sodium Bismuth Titanate, Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 (NBT) is a mixed A-site perovskite. It is both of commercial interest, due to its usage in lead-free piezoelectric solid-solutions; and...

Hydrophobins, hfb2, are secreted fungal proteins, which are strongly surface active and possess powerful emulsion and foam stabilising properties. Understanding their...

We recently observed a resonant spin excitation in Ba0.6K0.4Fe2As2, one of the newly discovered iron arsenide superconductors with Tc=38K, on MERLIN. This demonstrates that the...

We plan to perform polarized neutron reflectometry (PNR) on an epitaxial FePt(10nm)/FePt3(60nm) bilayer grown on a MgO(110) substrate. One particularity of this exchange bias...

TbMnO3 attracts special attention due to its large magnetoelectric coupling, polarization flop and ferro-paramagnetic phase transition, both induced by magnetic field. Despite...

ATLAS+ is a four year, €7M Horizon 2020 project aimed at developing and validating advanced structural integrity assessment methodologies for non-RPV primary circuit pressure...

The proposing team has a well established experience in the use of neutron scattering on samples containing molecular hydrogen, and has recently studied some aspects of the...

The life-limiting feature of AGR power reactors is probably radiation damage to the graphite moderators. This proposal (part of a collaborative EPSRC programme - Fundamentals of...

Here we propose to use the superior energy resolution of OSIRIS to measure the phonon desnity of states (PDOS) of both nanocomposite and bulk thermoelectric alloys of Si1-xGex....

With appropriate storage materials, ammonia has great potential as a fuel. We propose to use a novel piece of equipment, which combines microwave and neutron diffraction...

Recent theories and experiments on two-dimensional triangular lattice antiferromagnet show that the spin dynamics of these system exhibit the rare phenomena due to high-order...

In a previous WISH experiment, we have succeeded in determining the incommensurate cycloidal magnetic structure of AgFeO2, which induces a ferroelectric polarization[1]....

This proposal requests 6 days beamtime on the Polaris diffractometer to study the nature of the local structure within two systems which have been reported to show a solid...

Recently discovered tetragonal compounds CeRu2M2X (M=Al and Ga, X=B and C) provide new opportunity to investigate ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic ordering in the same...

The molecule-based chiral spin chain, [Cu(pyrimidine)(H2O)4]SiF6·H2O exhibits staggered g-tensors, a rich low-temperature excitation spectrum and a spin gap that opens on...

In this proposal, we request beamtime to study the very unexpected adsorption behaviour of the surfactant bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate potassium and ammonium salt (K(AOT)...

Water-soluble conjugated polymers (WSCP) are an important class of materials which have received great attention as active materials in optoelectronic devices and in biosensing....

NMR has become an extremely sophisticated experimental technique because of the use of pulse sequences which allow the control and manipulation of a nuclear spin system or...
