LaSrCoFeO6 is a rhombohedral perovskite, and can be reduced to the orthorhombic brownmillerite LaSrCoFeO5 in reducing atmospheres at around 600 deg C. This material is air...

It has been demonstrated that “stabilised” bismuth oxides can be successfully incorporated into intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells. These “stabilised” bismuth...

The objective of this experiment is to characterise four particular high-pressure polymorphs of various hydrates discovered by us in recent years during work carried out using...

Several members of the AA'3Mn4O12 quadruple perovskite family have now been realised, and are known to support intricate charge, orbital, and magnetic ordering phenomena. In...

Nd2Zr2O7 is a new candidate for quantum spin ice proposed theoretically. It has a well-isolated dipolar-octupolar doublet with Ising anisotropy as the crystal field ground state...

Lithium (Li) ion batteries is the most common battery technology but lately also sodium (Na) batteries are being considered. One reason is that the Li-reserves are limited and...

Hydrophobic drug encapsulation is one of the widely used strategies to overcome the poor adsorption and bioavailability of these drugs in vivo. Water-soluble amphiphilic...

Ionic liquids based on biocompatible ions such as amino acids are of significant interest since they offer access to a lower-cost and lower-toxicity family of green solvents for...

Cyclic peptide-polymer nanotubes can readily self-assembly into long nanotubes, and are being extensively studied for drug delivery applications. As such, understanding how...

LiZn2Mo3O8 is a highly unusual geometrically frustrated material: the magnetic moments are associated not with single ions but with small transition-metal clusters. The spin is...

Amongst layered materials, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are studied extensively due to their complex phase diagrams exhibiting competing phases. Intercalation...

In a number of recent experiments on the pure CeB6 compound, we have revealed strong quasielastic inten-sity in the normal (paramagnetic) state with a rich momentum-space...

We are examining various perovskite solid solutions based on NaNbO3 or BiFeO3 that havepromising ferroelectric or multiferroic properties. All of these solid solutions show...

The lung surfactant is a film coating the alveolus of the lung. We want to characterize the structure of this film at the air-water interface at a molecular level. This will...

We seek to develop new MOFs for sensing and removal of toxic gases (e.g., SO2) and request 4 days on POLARIS to study the structural binding details and dielectric data...

When materials are dissolved in solvents the solvent can become ordered around the solute, usually considered to be an ion that is a single atomic ion or a molecular ion. For...

Hydrophobins are secreted fungal proteins in the form of small lipopetide biosurfactants. They are strongly surface active and self assemble at interfaces and in solution. This...

This proposal is a continuation of our previous experiment on NIMROD (Rb 1520094), where we studied aqueous solutions of trehalose (33 wt% trehalose) as well as myoglobin in the...

The aim of the present proposal is to use total scattering to investigate changes in the local structure of Ba3BiRu2O9. This compound undergoes an unusual magnetovolume...

Glass Ionomer Cements (GICs) have found numerous applications as bone fillers, replacements and adhesives, particularly in dentistry due to their tooth like appearance and...
