Sodium cobalate has emerged as one of the best thermoelectric materials. Our previous neutron Laue diffraction studies on SXD have found ordered arrays of multivacancy clusters,...

Upon cooling, all common liquids are observed to freeze. This observation is similarly ubiquitous for magnetic materials, where the magnetic moments most often line up in a...

Clathrate hydrates (CHs) are ice structures in which water molecules (host) form cages through hydrogen bonds. The cages can accommodate various types of molecules (guests),...

We propose to measure the one- and multi-magnon excitations in the first realization of a S=1/2 quantum spin ladder in the strong-leg regime. Our material, DIMPY, has very well...

We request 3 days Direct Access on TOSCA to complete the INS measurements of our previous experiment 1610254. We want to characterise the vibrational signatures of a new...

Phenol-water and phenol-ammonia clusters are useful model systems for understanding the types of proton-transfer interactions that occur during photosynthesis in plants and...

The resistance of glass to fracture is crucial for its use as a structural material in fields ranging from engineering to architecture. Here, B2O3 can play a crucial role in...

We propose to use two days of beamtime on POLARIS to determine the structure and magnetic ordering that occurs in a series of cation-ordered perovskites. These cubic compounds...

Compounds of ethanol and ammonia have been known for over a century but no structural characterisation has ever been carried out. These materials allow us to examine a range of...

Phenol-water and phenol-ammonia clusters are useful model systems for understanding the types of proton-transfer interactions that occur during photosynthesis in plants and...

Organic ferroelectrics are in the focus of current research because their potential applications as a material to address global challenges. These lightweight, flexible and...

This experiment aims at studying the magnetic behaviour of the molecular square complex {[Fe{B(pz)_4}(CN)_3]_2[Co(bik)_2]_2}(ClO_4)_2 . 3H_2O [B(pz)_4 = tetrapyrazolylborate,...

The ambient-pressure phase of ice is a well-known example of a molecular solid that exhibits negative volume thermal expansion below 60 K. In a recent study carried out on HRPD...

Clay barriers are routinely used in nuclear waste repositories to isolate radionuclides from the biosphere. Such barriers have to be carefully designed to remain effective for...

INVAR behaviour is the property of having zero thermal expansion over a given temperature range; something very important for certain engineering applications, and very...

Flexible functional materials are important candidates of current research, because of their potential applications in plastic electronics. Organic ferroelectrics are one of...

The oxygen transport membrane is a system being developed by St Andrews in conjunction with industry, which at high temperatures will allow the selective migration of oxygen...

The structure and properties of the high-pressure phase of ammonia dihydrate, ADH-II, have been challenging to determine. However, the structure has been solved recently by...

The drive for increasing energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions has garnered increasing support for the use of fuel cell technology, which offers the potential...
