Superconductivity in iron-based materials occurs in close proximity to a long-range ordered magnetic phase. In the iron pnictides, uniaxial pressure shifts the magnetic ordering...

In this application we will conduct the first detailed study of the structure of glassy metal-ammonia systems ? so-called Ogg glasses, named after the person who first proposed...

Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) is a solar cell material of great interest. However the material when fabricated, although of high symmetry, contains substantial defect concentration and a...

Quantum critical points (QCPs) have attracted continuous scientific interest due to the emergent phenomena observed in their vicinity, including unconventional superconductivity...

Inexpensive light-metal amides are among the most highly active and effective ammonia decomposition catalysts at modest temperatures and are likely to surpass the performance of...

Water ice forms a remarkable diversity of structures, occurring in as many as 17 crystalline forms. Water ice also shows other interesting and unusual properties. For example,...

Zaccai et al. proposed to build up a neutron Dynamics Data Bank which would be populated with dynamical data of biological macromolecules measured with different techniques,...

As part of a wider study we are studying the effects of polymer architecture between cyclic and linear polymers. From ATR-FTIR measurements we observe clear differences between...

The proposal is to measure the inelastic scattering from a single crystal of Åkermanite on cooling towards and through the incommensurate phase transition at 358 K. There are...

We propose to investigate the highly one-dimensional (1D) S=1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet (NO)[Cu(NO3)3] which is a potential realization of the Nersesyan-Tsvelik model. The...

Iron-based superconductors (FeSCs) have been an essential research area in condensed matter physics. Spins of iron sites forming a long periodic configuration, called the...

Modulation occurs when there is ordering on two (or more) length scales. When the ratio of these is an integer, the modulation is said to be commensurate, i.e. one ordering is...

In recent years there has been a resurgence in research dedicated to ferroelectric materials primarily due to the combination of the requirement for Pb-free replacements for...

The development of new cryopreservation strategies has major potential in medicine, in particular for storage of biological matter. The detailed characteristics of the cooling...

Ba2CuTeO6 has garnered considerable interest as the combination of stacking sequence and Cu2+ displacements lead to a magnetic geometry that reproduce the effects of a spin...

With the discovery of almost 3000 exo-planets it is clear that planet formation is a by-product of star formation, yet in the micron ? cm size range, where relative velocities...

MgSO4.11H2O (MS11) is the most highly hydrated phase in the binary MgSO4¿H2O system. Whilst lower hydrates in this system have end-member analogues containing alternative...

The Japanese section of the Stibbert Museum, in Firenze, is one of the most important in the world, excluding Japan for obvious reasons. Here many different artifacts are...

Quantifying amount, composition and fate of surface-active organic aerosols originating from cooking processes is a key atmospheric research activity. Our project aims to...

Gallium has a low melting point and forms a liquid just above room temperature. The melting curve has a negative slope and when pressure is applied room pressure phases will...
