The Quantum spin liquid (QSL) state continues to fascinate the condensed matter community. This is because the spins in a QSL are highly entangled and fluctuate strongly down to...

The frustrated quantum magnets could host exotic quantum spin states and have attracted a lot of attention in the past decades. In the system, the degenerate ground states were...

Quantum critically is a unifying theme across correlated electron physics. Classical or thermal phase transitions occur at nonzero temperature and are driven by thermal...

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) typically contain four or more principle elements in equimolar amounts. We have recently discovered the first bcc HEA-based hydride with reversible...

We are proposing 10 days of beamtime on IRIS to investigate the diffusion process of H2O molecules adsorbed on polyamide, surface material of reverse osmotic membranes currently...

The perovskite-like family of ammonium formate frameworks AB(HCO2)3, where A is a divalent metal ion and B is an (alkyl)ammonium or guanadinium, is of great interest for its...

Neutron vibrational spectroscopy is applied to the study of burned human skeletal remains, as an innovative way of tackling heat-induced changes in human bone, which will have a...

Extremophiles are organisms which survive and thrive in extreme environments. The proteins from extremophilic organisms have received considerable attention as they are...

We propose to measure the dynamics in ZnADP¿3H2O, a new and high performance material that exhibits proton conductivity as high as Nafion membranes, which is the best commercial...

Zinc phosphate cements (ZPCs) are used in dentistry. Cement formulation (liquid+solid) is largely empirical because of lack of information on the exact chemical nature of the...

Few studies of Sm pyrochlores are reported in literature. It is believed that these coumpounds remain in a disordered state down to the lowest temperatures, mainly due to the...

Using chemically different substances as co-adsorbates allows one to block certain types of adsorption sites in a given porous material or even on a surface. This can be very...

We propose to study two aspects of the hydrogen dynamics in complex hydrides:First: The structural transitions in borohydrides are believed to be connected with an increase in...

Caprolactam (CL) is a high-value chemical and precursor to nylon-6. Industrially, a harsh, liquid acid catalyst transforms C6-oxime to CL but due to the risk and inefficiency of...

CeRu2Al10 belongs to the CeT2Al10 family (T: Ru, Os, Fe), which exhibits Kondo-insulator behavior and high magnetic ordering temperature (TN=27K), with an unusual competition of...

Existing fossil fuels are on the verge of extinction and thus in this scenario renewable fuels are need of hour. Hydrogen is potential energy source and can be stored in carbon...

In this proposal we will pioneer the use of QENS in combination with molecular biology mutagenesis and in silico design to guide the re-engineering of a glycoside hydrolase,...

Magnetic molecular framework materials, where the magnetic metal centres are linked together by molecules rather than single atoms, are a very exciting class of materials, as...

Following a recently succesfull measurement of the structure of a monolayer of n-butane adsorbed on MgO we wish to perform neutron diffraction measurements of monolayers of...

The rare earth pyrochlores have been at the forefront of research into exotic magnetic phenomena for some years. In general they are of interest because they are frustrated -...
