Electrical steels (ES) used in motors and transformers. The major challenge is to optimise themagnetic property of ES to reduce energy waste during service. The crystallographic... -
Magnetic Excitations in Chromium
Chromium is unique amongst the d-band elemental metals in that it has a spin density wave ground state. The spin density wave is caused by Fermi surface nesting between electron... -
Demystifying the Haupt effect: the need for neutron scattering
In 1972, Haupt observed a giant enhancement of proton polarisation in NMR experiments on crystalline g-picoline. Key to this discovery was the implementation of quick... -
Structural characterization of a synthetic peptoid monomer
Peptoids are synthetic mimics of peptides (the natural building blocks of proteins) in which the side chain is attached to the backbone amide nitrogen instead of the central... -
