Low Temperature Magnetic Structure of Doped Iridate Sr2Ir0.5Rh0.5O4
There is a significant interest in the electronic and magnetic properties of the layered iridates owing to the variety of potential exotic phases of matter they exhibit. In... -
Investigation of magnetic defects in exfoliated and ball-milled graphite
The recent interest in carbon-based materials like graphene stimulated a deeper analysis of the magnetism in graphite defects. In a previous µSR experiment we observed an... -
The structure of metal-ammonia Ogg glasses
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... -
Temperature driven spin incoherence and criticality in the Luttinger liquid p...
We propose an experiment on the low energy spectrometer LET to study temperature effects on the Luttinger liquid (LL) phase on the spin ladder geometry. The spin ladder material... -
Thermal expansion studies of metallic glasses showing magnetocaloric effect
The main aim of our proposal is investigation of thermally induced volume changes occurring in short range order of amorphous pseudo-binary Fe(Mn)-B alloys in the vicinity of... -
Iron Oxide Nanoparticle Interactions with Lipid Bilayers in a Magnetic Field
Iron oxide nanoparticles are one of the first nanomaterials to be approved for use in the body. However, research into particle binding and incorporation to, as well as... -
Study of the reaction mehanism for carbon-based FeF3 nanocomposites as cathod...
Metal fluoride materials, through the use nanocomposites, recently appear as potential candidates as next generation high energy density positive electrodes for Li-ion... -
On the structure and stability of dinucleotides in aqueous solution
eoxyribonucleic acids (DNA) encode the genetic information for all living things and some viruses. Remarkably, DNA is only comprised of four unique nucleotides which differ only... -
A Total Scattering Study of Aqueous Dopamine Under Conditions of Increased Hy...
We request 3 days on SANDALS to study the interactions of the neurotransmitter dopamine hydrochloride in a 1:19 methanol:water mixture and also in an aqueous 3M NaCl solution.... -
The structure of ammonia borane in ammonia and THF
In this proposal we aim to understand the solvation of AB by two of the most important solvents ? ammonia and THF. Neutron diffraction is a key technique in this context because... -
Folding and unfolding of model antimicrobial peptides in aqueous solution
Antimicrobial peptides (AMP) are naturally occurring biomolecules which act as a defense mechanisms against disease in a number of different animals, including humans. These...
