Evolution of magnetic and structural ordering in (1-x)BiFeO3-xPbTiO3 system
The perovskite BiFeO3 has received considerable attention over the years due to its unique ferroelectric and multiferroic properties at room temperature. It has been reported... -
Spontaneous multilayer formation at interfaces in mixed surfactant systems
The spontaneous formation of multilayer structures at interfaces from surfactant self-assembly has until recently been rarely observed. However, surface multilayer structures... -
Elucidating buried structures using Offspec
This proposal is a continuation proposal (previous RB 1110285) utilising the Offspec instrument and is aimed at further understanding the utility of the spin echo grazing... -
The XY pyrochlore AFM:spin dynamics upon rare-earth dilution in Er2Ti2O7 (CON...
Er2Ti2O7 constitutes an experimental realization of the <111> easy-plane pyrochlore AFM and orders at 1.1 K into the theoretically predicted spin structure. However, the... -
When like-charged ions attract: How OH-defects influence the size and distrib...
This study will probe the liquid nanostructures of mixtures of two ionic liquids, 4-(hydroxybutyl)-pyridinium-bis(trifluorosulfonyl)-imide ([HOC4Py]NTf2) and... -
Deformation mechanisms in several simple alloys to underpin creep damage char...
The proposal is to study three alloys, both at high temperature and room temperature, to corroborate strain results obtained through high resolution digital image correlation.... -
Studying the helimagnetic order and precursor phenomena in MnSi under pressure
The archetype chiral system MnSi belongs to the family of non-centrosymmetric cubic helimagnets where a helimagnetic ordering exists below the critical temperature of 29 K. This... -
Phase separation in confined block-copolymers on a structured substrate studi...
Co-polymers confined in small droplets may have a structure different from that in the bulk. These droplets are produced by annealing a spin-coated polymer film with a thickness... -
Structure of niobium phosphate glasses
Niobium is one of the candidates for causing strong non-linear optical properties in oxide glasses. Recently, Raman gain experiments on niobium phosphate glasses were quite... -
Deforming TWIP steels at cryogenic temperatures
Dense mechanical twins and phase transformation are the most attractive athermal transformation processes since they can endow alloys with significant strength enhancement as... -
