This experiment will measure the microstructure of Amorphous Solid Water (ASW), a porous material that can be formed by vapour-depositing water onto a cold plate, an excellent...

The experimental realization of a Heisenberg-Kitaev model on the honeycomb lattice has been a major topic in a condensed matter physics, because the model predict a novel...

We will determine the atomic and magnetic structure of two polymorphs of manganese cyanide, Mn(CN)2, which exhibit negative thermal expansion (NTE). The two forms are related;...

A future hydrogen economy requires dense, safe, efficient and reversible hydrogen storage materials [1]. For mobile and in many cases also for stationary applications the...

The combination of magnetic frustration and low magnetic moment leads to non-classical magnetic behaviour such as spin liquid states. We have prepared polycrystalline samples of...

In Ce-based heavy fermion materials, there is competition between the interactions which lead to a magnetically ordered arrangement of the Ce magnetic moments, and the...

Ionic liquids are of interest to chemistry and material sciences because of their designer properties. Protonated ionic liquids are excellent proton carriers in fuel cell...

Atmospheric levels of CO2 are increasing at uncontrolled levels and as such methods of CO2 utilisation are being researched. A key reaction for this purpose is the coupling of...

Molecular magnetic wheels are models systems for the study of quantum coherence, finite-size effects and have been proposed as possible candidates for quantum bits. While AF...

Commercial routes for the manufacture of methyl methacrylate monomer have recently been developed that involve the reaction of esters over modified silicas, which are amphoteric...

Materials which display exotic electronic states are of great interest to fundamental science, such as quantum spin-liquids (QSL) which are theorised to underpin the transition...

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...

Proton-conducting, acceptor-doped, BaZrO3 based perovskite oxides are one of the most promising family of compounds for applications as, eg electrolyte materials, in the...

We request 9 days on TOSCA to study (i) the interaction of adsorbed H2 gas molecules with a gated indium-based metal-organic framework (MOF) NOTT-200 as a function of H2 and...

We find unusual antiferromagnetic order in Cu heavily overdoped BaFeCuAs2 with the order wave vector at (0.5 0.5 1). This anitiferromagnetic signal cannot come from the parent...

Quantum spin liquid (QSL) is a novel state of matter where the spins are highly entangled with one another but fluctuate strongly down to zero temperature. It may be associated...

This proposal requests 3 days on Maps to investigate the nature of local structure and proton sites in the proton conducting brownmillerite system Ba2In1.85M0.15O6H2 (M = In,...

Steering and optimizing catalyst selectivity at ¿ simultaneously - adequate catalyst activity is a continuing challenge in chemical technology and of high economic impact. In...

An understanding of the electronic structure of the actinide elements is one of the most intriguing and complex topics in contemporary chemistry. In particular the magnetic...

The family of centropolyindanes are created by edge-wise fusing of the cyclopentane ring of several indane units (D. Kuck, Chemical Reviews 2006, 106, 4885-4925)....
