Local structure study of multiferroic region of cupric(II) oxide
Cupric(II) oxide (CuO) has recently found to be both antiferromagnetic and ferroelectric in temperature region from 213 K to 230 K. This high temperature multiferroic material... -
Low energy excitations in PrPtAl
Magnetically modulated structures have been predicted to form close to quantum critical points in a number of recent theories, although there are no experimental examples of... -
Quasielastic Neutron Spectroscopy of Ammonium Borohydride
We ask for 7 days on IRIS to study the quasielastic scattering in ammonium borohydride (NH4BH4). Using enriched ND4 and BD4, we aim to separate out the difference rotational and... -
SHINING THE BEAM ON BONES: CHARACTERISATION OF BURNED AND FOSSILISED SKELETAL...
Neutron spectroscopy is applied to study bones exposed to anaerobic burning or fossilisation. The results thus obtained will complement previous data gathered by the team on... -
The role of Disorder in Phase Transitions in some manganese Perovskites
The aim of this work is to understand the origin of the difference in the behaviour between the two doped manganites Sr0.65Pr0.35MnO3 and Sr0.70Ce0.30MnO3. The hypothesis we... -
Determining the Vibrational Frequencies and Lattice Dynamics in Nanoporous Ze...
This proposal will use Inelastic Neutron Scattering (INS) spectroscopy at TOSCA to establish the vibrational frequencies in nanoporous zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)... -

Back up experiment to fill gap in the schedule if beamtime is available -
Exploring cation dynamics in a hybrid Prussian blue analogue
Many hybrid Prussian blue analogues show exploitable electric behaviour, such as piezo-, pyro-, or ferroelectricity or dielectric switching. We have previously characterised one... -
Characterisation of the low temperature phase transition in Pb(CD3COO)2 .3D...
We propose to use high resolution neutron powder diffraction for the study of the nuclear structure of Pb(CD3COO)2.3D2O in its low-temperature phase and to characterise with... -
Experimental validation of solid hydrogen phases in porous materials via neut...
Metallic hydrogen has long been theorised to be a close-to-room temperature superconductor, but is only predicted to form at GPa pressures. Instead of using extremely high... -
Characterisation of the hydrides in Stryker¿s reagent
In recent years, soluble derivatives of CuH prepared by non-aqueous routes have become important as mild reducing agents, one such compound, Stryker¿s reagent [Ph3PCuI]6. The... -
Copy of: IINS Study of the Molecular Properties of Hydrogen Peroxide/Water Mi...
Hydrogen Peroxide is one of the cleanest, most versatile strategic base chemicals available. It is used at the large scale as oxidising agent in the chemical industry, as a... -
Understanding enhanced thermoelectric properties of sodium cobaltate doped by...
The thermoelectric power factor for (Na1-y¿My¿)0.8CoO2 is dramatically increased when M = Sr, but it is essentally unchanged from the pure compound when M = Ca. Our previous SXD... -
An INS Study of the Effect of Pressure on the Crystal Structure Titanium Tetr...
At ambient pressure TiCl4 forms a molecular solid consisting of isolated TiCl4 molecules (phase-I). At 0.5 GPa this structure undergoes a transition to phase-II, which is... -
Interlayer coupling in YIG/NiO/Pt trilayers
The spin Seebeck effect is able to convert a temperature gradient into a spin current. Many potential applications exist for the field of spintronics, which use these spin... -
Correlation between structure and properties in Bi0.7La0.3FeO3
Bi0.7La0.3FeO3 has received extensive attention in the past years, since this compound exhibits simultaneously ferroelectricity and ferromagnetism at room temperature. Despite... -
Hydrogen-bond ordering in hexamethylenetetramine hexahydrate as a function of...
The title compound, more succinctly referred to as HMT-hydrate, is a rare example of a water-framework zeolite structure with an organic guest molecule hydrogen bonded to the... -
Configurational and displacive disorder in the cubic NTE material Cd(CN)2
Cubic cadmium(II) cyanide shows the most pronounced isotropic NTE effect known, with behaviour more than twice as extreme as that of better known materials such as ZrW2O8. This... -
A combination study of the antiferromagnetism and diffusive magnetic scatteri...
As far as we know there is no single crystal neutron study on ErPr_2Si_2 yet, mainly due to fabrication difficulties. We have grown large (diameter: 6 mm; length: 8 mm) single...
