Diamond nanoparticles: a bright future for nano-composites?
Conductive polymers (CP) show desirable physicochemical properties, with CP-based nanocomposites being manufactured for various applications i.e. sensors The filler particles... -
Unravelling the origin of high-temperature magnetic bistability in dysprosoce...
In the last 25 years the highest blocking temperature TB achieved for the best performing molecular nanomagnets has only reached few K. The situation has recently changed... -
High Temperature Magnetic Order in Mn(II) Oxides
The Mn(II) phases LaSrMnO3.5 and LaBaMnO3.5 have been prepared by the topotactic reduction of LaSrMnO4 and LaBaMnO4 respectively. Preliminary neutron diffraction data show that... -
Probing the Mobility of Simple Phenolic Lignin Monomers for Model Development...
Due to the importance of developing efficient biomass conversion processes, the mobility of lignin constituents phenol and catechol in zeolite Beta will be studied using QENS.... -
H2 diffusion in filled ice prepared between 3 and 5 kbar
We propose to study the diffusion of molecular hydrogen (H2, HD and D2) trapped in C0 filled ice prepared at high pressure (3-5 kbar). These systems have a relevant scientific... -
Further crystal field excitation data for pyrochlore zirconates.
Nd2Zr2O7 (NZO), synthesized and supplied to us by Tokura and Onose, is a new candidate spin ice while Pr2Zr2O7 (PZO) if anything even more promising is supplied to us by... -
Studies of the effect of steaming on catalyst-substrate interactions in ZSM-5...
ZSM-5 zeolites are used as additives in commercial Fluidised Catalytic Cracking (FCC) units to promote the conversion of olefinic gasoline fractions to LPG olefins. In this role... -
Dynamical disorder or incipient nano-ferroic distortions in CaSnO3 perovskite?
It has always been assumed that CaSnO3 perovskite remains orthorhombic (Pbnm) as a function of temperature up to its melting point, and is rather unremarkable in many ways.... -
Magnetic excitations in spin ladders
We wish to measure the magnetic excitations and subgap states in a doped (x=0.06) spin ladder using MERLIN. The purpose of the measurements is to ascertain the relationship... -
Neutron spectroscopy of a series of Ruthenium triangles: a new possible route...
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... -
Uptake of Molecular Hydrogen by High-performance Carbon Nanostructures (NIMROD)
High sorption capacities and enhanced interaction strengths are the two most fundamental prerequisites for the deployment of carbon-based materials as hydrogen-storage media. In... -
Search for Emergent Photon Excitation in Pr Based Quantum Spin Ice Candidates
By introducing transvers terms in the effective spin-1/2 Hamiltonian on the pyrochlore lattice, the quantum spin ice (QSI) state, a special quantum spin liquid whose emergent... -
Molecular and framework dynamics in CH3NH3PbBr3 - a high resolution experimen...
Organic-inorganic perovskites have recently been shown to be potentially efficient and inexpensive photovoltaics. These materials undergo a series of structural transitions and... -
Unravelling the ageing mechanims of dry seeds: molecular mobility within biol...
Faster-than-expected ageing is observed in some seeds (e.g. orchids, coffee, citrus, willows) stored dry at -20°C, the standard temperatures of seed banks. This ageing has been... -
Which is it? ¿ Neutrons distinguish monolayers xrays can¿t.
We have obtained the monolayer structure diffraction patterns from several iodoalkanes adsorbed on graphite, of interest in the study of non-covalent bonding. However, it is... -
Suppressing long axis intermolecular vibrational modes in molecular semicondu...
The van der Waals nature of carbon based organic semiconductors (OSCs) offers low cost deposition routes while intermolecular vibrations affect to some extend their charge... -
Structural and Magnetic Properties from Charge Orders in Iron Perovskite Oxides
Highly oxidized transition metal cations in oxides tend to display unusual electronic and magnetic behavior due to the highly covalent nature of the M-O interactions. Iron is of...
