Previous uSR measurements on chemically produced graphene showed that, apart from a slowly relaxing graphite-like fraction, approximately 40% of the implanted muons are trapped...

A definitive structural model of LiCaN from powder neutron diffraction (PND) is an important first step towards a systematic study of the process and mechanism of hydrogenation...

Ni-Mn based Heusler alloys with composition related to the stoichiometry Ni2MnX, with X belonging to the IIIA-VA chemical species, are widely considered as a class of...

Liquid metal alloys, with liquidus temperatures close to room temperature, are a rapidly developing research area with novel applications in renewable energy, catalysis,...

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

Diamonds provide our only direct samples of the very deep Earth and understanding their origin is consequently of great interest to Earth Scientists. The origin of diamonds can...

The total scattering technique has become an invaluable method for probing the local structure of materials in a host of interesting fields. However, the technique is reliant on...

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...

The aim of this experiment is to measure in-situ the high temperature beta phase in a Ti and Zr alloy in order to relate the beta texture with the alpha texture observed at room...

Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are formed from inorganic nodes connected by organic ligands, and share structural features with zeolites. They have recently been...

Titanite consists of TiO6 octahedra arranged in chains. These are linked by SiO4 tetrahedra. At room temperature, Ti is slightly off-center resulting in an alternation of short...

There is widespread interest in perovskite materials, with work traditionally focusing on simple oxide systems. In recent years, however, there has been growing interest in the...
