Amyloid fibrils are highly organized filamentous structures formed by the self-assembly of polypeptides. This proposal is to study the effect of pressure on the structure of...

The layered ternary oxide system has been intensively studied in the past as it exhibits various remarkable properties, such as its electrochemical behavior as positive...

We ask for 3 days on GEM to study in-situ the decomposition of the Na-substituted LiNH2 phases, Li1-xNaxND2, LiNa2(ND2)3, Li3Na(ND2)4 and their reactions with LiD. LiNH2 is the...

Recently it has been reported that YbAl3C3 undergoes an antiferromagnetic quadrupolar ordering transition at 80 K, Further study by Ochiai et al. revealed that the transition at...

Small-sized metal nanoparticles (NPs) are of long standing interest to both magnetism and heterogeneous catalysis. Recent muSR studies of Au NPs encapsulated in mesoporous...

In cubic B20 structures, skyrmions, topologically-protected three-dimensional spin textures, arise from competition of the ferromagnetic exchange interaction and the...

For the first time, the research team aim to use INS to characterise a series of new high specification methane reforming catalysts. The enhanced performance of these catalysts...

It is commonly accepted that the recording of holograms with atomic resolution requires singlecrystalline samples. Closer analysis, however, shows that the reduced information...

After the successful strain measurements at ENGING-X of 3D-printed and cold-rolled Ti-6Al-4V parts, which have shown that this mechanical treatment can eliminate residual stress...

Time reversal symmetry (TRS) breaking in a superconductor is often taken as evidence of unconventional pairing states. The recent observation of TRS breaking in several...

Discrete energy level form in quantum mechanical systems and if carefully measured the population density of the levels can be probed and manipulated. The consequence of this...

Our long-term aim is a detailed study of the Oriental Arms & Armour in the Wallace Collection, London, which contains nearly one thousand items and is one of the most...

Using the Emu spectrometer at ISIS we have recently studied charge carrier transport in the technologically important molecule 8-hydroxy-quinoline aluminium, by probing the...

This proposal is concerned with determining variations in the high pressure crystallographic and magnetic structure of LaFeO3. LaFeO3 is a characteristic example of...

Lead scandium niobate (PSN) belongs to the class of perovskite-type relaxor ferroelectrics, which are among the key functional materials. Due to their structural complexity, the...

Zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are topical nanoporous hybrid materials with tremendous potential for structural versatility and physico-chemical tuneability....

In our research programme the overall goal is to explore how residual stress/strain infulences thedeformation and fracture behaviour of engineering steels at high temperatures....

We propose to study the structure of liquid CO2 by neutron diffraction under high pressure and high temperatures to 6 GPa / 800 K. Carbon dioxide belongs to the most fundamental...

Our recent high (P,T) developments at PEARL beamline will allow us to study the kinetic and thermodynamic behavior of boron 11B under pressures up to 12 GPa and temperatures up...

Recently, Nippon Steel Corporation (NSC) developed an industrial ferrous alloy showing transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) and large ductility and strength. It has been...
