Because of the potential applications of multiferroicity, the discovery of a new multiferroic (MF) material is invariably met with great enthusiasm in the condensed matter...

We propose to measure a fragment of a tool, coming from a Bronze Age burial ground of southern Tuscany, which seems to be forged of iron but does not fit with the attributed age.

When fluids are confined in pores with dimensions in the nanoscale, their properties differ from the bulk mainly due to the solid-fluid interactions and the finite pore size....

The reaction of LiH with the oxy-chloride Sr3Fe2O5Cl2 initially leads to the topotactic deintercalation of oxide ions and the formation of Sr3Fe2O4Cl2 containing sheets of...

Oxalyl chloride (mpt. 260 K), forms an ordered phase at low temperature, but a disordered phase between 250 K and the melting point. In previous beamtime we aimed to carry out...

Products such as fabric and hair conditioners are commonly in the form of di-alkyl chain cationic lamellar phase dispersion. The effects of shear on such lamellar phase...

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...

The sequence of structural phase transitions that occur in distorted ABO3 perovskites as a function of temperature is of intrinsic interest for better understanding of the...

We propose to measure total scattering from Rochelle Salt in order to provide new insights into the re-entrant phase transitions in this material. Rochelle Salt is an old...

PDF analysis for the local structures of PZT in the morphotropic phase boundary

Today, about seventy years after Laves, there exists a fairly good knowledge about the basic structural principles of Laves phases but many questions still remain. AMn-type...

We have prepared a new family of rare-earth carbonates, R4(CO3)6(H2O)2en (R=Dy-Lu). With the exception of R=Er, all materials exhibit a steadily decreasing meff below 70K. The...

We have made a significant effort to develop Radio Frequency μSR (RF μSR) as a technique for spectroscopy of organic radicals in the gas phase. Realising this method...

Mesopotamian seals and duckweights of the period 2000 - 1600 BC are often made of iron-stone which is usually refered to as 'heamatite'. In two prevoius experiments we have...

The applicants have recently completed a series of INS studies on a model iron Fischer-Tropsch catalyst. That work established that different sample pre-treatments could...

Most of our technology is based on the use of charge, however the electron also has another less well-understood (or exploited) property called spin. The application of this...

We ask for 3 days on EMU to study the Muon spectroscopy of both LiBH4 and Ca(BH4)2 as a function of temperature from 90K-650K. These materials have been extensively...

The new molecular magnet bis(2,3-dimethylpyridinium) tetrabromocuprate (DIMPY) is a strong-leg spin ladder with a quantum critical point at 3 T separating a low-field...

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 solid solution Mn(1-x)Fe(x)WO4 exhibits complex antiferromagnetic order with coexistence of commensurate and incommensurate magnetic structures. Furthermore, the MnWO4 end...
