Pressure-induced structural and magnetic transitions in honeycomb ruthenate A...
Honeycomb ruthenates (Ru4+, 4d4) with strong spin-orbit coupling are expected to host unconventional magnetic ground state owing to a spin-orbital-entangled Jeff = 0 state. The... -
Phase evolution in the transition from epsilon to gamma glycine
Glycine, the simplest naturally-occurring amino acid, exhibits unusually extensive phase diversity. Three polymorphs are known under ambient conditions. Each shows different... -
Commissioning of High Temerature Furnace
The maximum operating temperature of standard ISIS furnaces with vanadium elements and shields is limited to 1000C (1100C under exceptional circumstances). The ultra... -
Surfactant Segregation in Plasticised PVA
PVA film is widely used as a non-toxic water soluble polymer. This proposal relates to its use in unit dose detergent pouches where plasticised PVA film stores a concentrated... -
In-situ studies of thermal electrochemical cells utilising transition metal s...
Thermal batteries are used in applications were high reliability is a key requirement. They can be stored for decades and activated in less than a second. Most contemporary... -
Framework flexibility and host-guest hydrogen bonding in the metal-organic do...
The recently reported double perovskite analogue imidazolium potassium iron(III) cyanide is noteworthy for two reasons. First, the order-disorder phase transitions, in which the... -
Alloxan - a high density organic under pressure
Organic molecular crystal structures have densities that are typically in the range 1.2-1.4 gcm-3 although these can be increased, in general, to ca. 2.0 GPa through application... -
In-Situ Studies of Electrochemically Enhanced Performance in Perovskite Elect...
Recent studies in our laboratory have shown that a range of A-site deficient perovskite oxides, with carefully tuned chemical compositions, exhibit excellent properties when... -
SANS and SESANS an ideal combination for Photonic materials
In this proposal we request time to characterise some novel colloidal particles that cannot be characterised with other approaches. These are believed to be raspberry... -
Kinetics of Protein Adsorption on well-characterised polymer brushes
We wish to develop a rational understanding of the mechanisms underlying the way water soluble polymer brushes - in particular those of polyethylene oxide/polyethylene glycol -... -

Low Temperature Magnetic, Thermoelastic and Structural Behaviour of Antiferro...
We propose to study the low temperature structural and magnetic changes in three clinopyroxene phases FeGeO3, CaNiSi2O6 and CaCoSi2O6. All three phases order... -
Continued studies of the temperature-pressure phase diagram of BiFeO3
Bismuth ferrite is the most widely studied multiferroic material primarily due to the observation of both room temperature magnetic and electric ordering. Despite extensive... -
In-Situ Studies of Electrochemically Enhanced Performance in Perovskite Elect...
Recent studies in our laboratory have shown that a range of A-site deficient perovskite oxides, with carefully tuned chemical compositions, exhibit excellent properties when... -
Determination of the H-H bond lenght of H2/CuBTC MOF (SANDALS)
The rotational line of hydrogen is very clearly measured with TOSCA. For the past few years I have noticed that the changes in the position of the rotational line do not follow... -
A high pressure study of the novel hybrid improper ferroelectric HgMn7O12
We have recently discovered how a novel type of hybrid improper ferroelectricity can arise in the perovskite HgMn3Mn412. This ferroelectricity is driven by a highly unusual... -
Towards the Calibration of Chemical Pressure
The application of hydrostatic pressure allows the precise tuning of atomic separations, which control electronic structure and virtually all the interatomic interactions that... -
Structures and compositions of Li-conducting framework materials with low sym...
Re-chargeable Li ion batteries play a key role in modern consumer electronics and may have an important part to play as energy storage devices in a low carbon economy of the... -
Thermal expansion of Mg: pre-melting effects in hcp metals and the Earth's in...
Ab initio computer simulations have suggested that pre-melting phenomena occur in the elastic properties of hcp-iron at the conditions of the Earths inner core just before... -
Depth-dependent diffraction of sheldonian head cores
13 carved busts have ringed the perimeter of the Sheldonian Theatre since 1669. Twice the Heads have been replaced when deteriorated beyond recognition. The second generation...
