Magnetic inelastic scattering from dimethylammonium metal formates
The dimethylammonium metal formates (metal = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) are metal-organic perovskite analogues of interest for potential multiferroicity. In these materials, electric... -
Pressure & Temperature Phase Diagram of the Elpasolite Perovskite La2NiMnO6
This experiment will examine the pressure and temeprature phase diagram of the elpasolite perovskite La2NiMnO6. The sample will be studied in the pressure range of 0-9 GPa at... -
Investigation of SANS in the region of superfluid transition
We propose SANS measurements of 4He in a region of supefluid transition (2.2 K). The main aim of the experiment is to see whether at small-angle scattering there is an... -
In-situ under electric field neutron diffraction at variable (low) temperatur...
Neutron diffraction experiments will be carried out on multiferroic ceramics. What is special about the measurements, is that they will be carried out under an applied electric... -
Cation Ordering and Magnetic Properties of Layered Tellurides
We have prepared a new non-stoichiometric series Cr2-xInxGe2Te6. X-ray diffraction data can be indexed on the rhombohedral unit cell of the end-member (x=0) phase. This adopts a... -
Crystal symmetry change at the magnetic transition in MnB and FeB compounds p...
The "magnetocaloric effect" (MCE) is based on the entropy difference encountered when themagnetic state of a material is changed and it can be used for refrigeration. However,... -
Me-ND311BD4: a temperature dependent study of its crystal structure and decom...
We request 4 days on HRPD with the IGAn apparatus to follow the structural changes of Me-ND4 11BD4 as a function of temperature. The high resolution of HRPD will allow us to... -
In situ neutron diffraction study of Sr0.75Y0.25CoO2.62
Sr0.75Y0.25CoO2.62 is a promising cathode material for solid oxide fuel cells. It shows metallic behaviour above 600K and molecular dynamics simulations have concluded that... -
Understanding the Earth's Core-Mantle Boundary: Crystal and Magnetic Structur...
The physical properties of the post-perovskite phase of MgSiO3 control the dynamics of the lower thermal boundary layer of the Earth¿s mantle, but many of these properties... -
Neutron Powder Diffraction Experiments on Ternary Alkali Metal Palladium and ...
Na2PdC2 and Na2PtC2 are the first examples of ternary alkali metal transition metal acetylides. They were synthesized and structurally characterised by our group in 2001 based...
