This proposal seeks to explore the high-pressure structural behaviour of N,N¿-dimethylurea. Two new high-pressure forms have been structurally characterised using x-ray methods,...

The aim of this experiment is to determine accurately the crystal structures of phases in the (1-x)BiScO3-xPbTiO3 (BST-PT) perovskite phase diagram, particularly in the vicinity...

Recently we have investigated magnetic and quadrupolar ordered states of YbRu2Ge2 using zero-field muon spin relaxation (µSR), neutron diffraction and inelastic neutron...

The objectives of this project are to: 1) advance in-situ studies of recrystallization kinetics in deformed metals using neutron diffraction. This is new approach which will...

Superconductivity was recently discovered in alpha-phase FeSex with a Tc of 8 K. Selenium can be replaced with Tellurium (FeSe1-xTex) and this results in an increase in Tc to 15...

The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of different stimuli on a novel iron oxide core shell nanoparticles. The system is composed of a magnetite core with a...

We have recently synthesised the novel iridocuprate IrSr2Sm1.15Ce0.85Cu2O10. This material exhibits a complex temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility with multiple...

Tuning the interactions between different surfaces has technological benefits in areas such as adhesion, compatibilisation and nano-actuators. We shall study the interaction...

The performance of current commercial Li-ion batteries with graphite anodes is limited by the relatively small amount of lithium that can reversibly intercalate between the...

Serine monohydrate undergoes a phase transition at 5.2 GPa which involves reorientation of water molecules. It appears that this disrupts H-bonding elsewhere in the crystal,...

Structural study of Cs2Nb6TiO18

The 1,2- dichloroethane (DCE)/water interface is important because of its suitability as an electrochemical interface between two immiscible electrolyte soloutions. An issue of...

Lipopolysaccharides are amphiphilic macromolecules indispensable for the growth and the survival of Gram-negative bacteria, one of the most diffuse classes of pathogenic...

We propose to use the OSIRIS spectrometer to measure the inelastic magnetic scattering on the newly discovered heavy Fermion compound Ce3Co4Sn13. This compound has one of the...

We have recently studied the surface segregations of amphiphilic block copolymers blended in a matrix of cross-linked poly(dimethyl siloxane). In this system, while the...

For many Heusler compounds a spin polarisation close to 100% was predicted by band structure calculations. Thus if those materials are incorporated in magnetic tunnel junctions,...

Bacterial LPS (endotoxin) is a key determinant of host/pathogen interactions. We propose to investigate the role of membrane lateral phase separation on LPS insertion into model...

The proposed experiment aims to study the dynamics of hydrated lysozyme in presence of trehalose, glycerol and trehalose/glycerol mixtures at different relative concentration in...

We propose a high-pressure powder neutron diffraction study of the simple donor-acceptor complexes (C5D5N)...ICl and (C5D5N)...IBr . These are the simplest structurally...

Hertbertsmithite ZnCu3(OH)6Cl2 is a model S =1/2 kagome antiferromagnet, received much attention last years. From recent studies a sign of a nearby quantum phase transition...
