Test of the NIMS low temperature pressure cell on WISH.

The spin Jahn-Teller effect stabilises 3D magnetic order in an otherwise frustrated system via magnetoelastic coupling, spontaneously at the magnetic phase transition. Examples...

We propose to perform neutron diffraction experiments under high-pressure on multiferroic TbMnO3 using WISH in combination with hybrid-anvil-type high-pressure device. Recently,...

Edible biopolymers are routinely used in the encapsulation and controlled release of bioactive ingredients (e.g. medicines, nutrients, flavours). Common encapsulants are in...

The single band Hubbard model is considerably the simplest effective model that includes both the delocalizing/hopping energy and the on-site interaction for describing strongly...

A recent neutron study of a powder sample attests a splayed ferromagnetic structure for Yb2Ti2O7. However in the same work the authors report gapless magnetic excitations even...

Rare earth nickelates (RNO3, but La) display a metal to insulator transition (MIT) as the temperature is reduced together with an unusual antiferromagnetic (AFM) order described...

Biological membranes protect cells and are essential for their survival and damaged membranes may cause serious harm to the cell. A primary cause of damage to membranes is...

Natural antimicrobials are of great interest, since they are antibiotics that act on the biological membrane, and it is believed that this makes it far more difficult for...

Crystallisation of membrane proteins as a precursor to high resolution structural studies is a significant research bottleneck. We are investigating alternative methods to...

With this experiment we aim to investigate the role of spin orbit coupling (SOC) in 4d transition metal oxides.In previous inelastic neutron scattering experiments on the parent...

Nuclear power generation plants undergo start-up/shut-down load-temperature cycles during service operation. Components operating at temperatures in the creep regime can exhibit...

Advanced luminescent materials exhibiting downconversion are important components of next-generation photovoltaic devices aimed at minimizing the spectral mismatch losses in...

The outer membrane (OM) of Gram-Negative bacteria (GNB) is an asymmetric structure which contains complex lipids known as lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) on the outer surface. LPSs...

Electric field induced changes in the swelling of a strong polyelectrolyte brush will be investigated using neutron reflectivity. A poly(styrene sulphonate), PSS, brush will be...

The research and development of Lead Halide perovskite solar cells is one of the most rapidly growing research areas. Since the discovery of these organic-inorganic metal halide...

Barium cobaltites are interesting materials because of a broad range of properties (magnetic, catalytic, electronic). Such properties are tightly connected to the structure type...

To try to understand the variation in surface tension as a function of functionalized gold nanoparticle particle and SDS concentration, we will make measurements of the specular...

The safe storage of spent nuclear fuels is a complex challenge that belies a simple solution. The biggest scientific challenge is that storage must be over long periods of time,...

This experiment addresses the role of hydrogen in determining both quality and stability of surface passivation materials for silicon solar cells. Surface recombination causes...
