The aim of our experiment is to map out the excitation spectrum of the recently-discovered superconducting AxFe2Se2 system for energy transfers of up to 250 meV. This...

We propose to measure the powder-averaged spin excitation spectrum of LiFeAs, a new member of the ferropnictide family of superconductors. This compound is special because it is...

The Vanadium spinels provide ideal systems to study the interactions between spin, lattice and orbital degrees of freedom. The magnetic V3+ ions are antiferromagnetically...

We will search for spin-orbit transitions of the Co3+ ions in LaCoO3. The ground state is a non-magnetic singlet, but there continues to be a debate about the nature of the...

We propose to use inelastic neutron scattering to search for the existence of spin fluctuations in two iron phosphide superconductors, LaFePO and Sr2ScFePO3. The objective is to...

The triangular Heisenberg antiferromagnet is the classic example of the frustrated magnet, here the ground state forms a non-collinear 120° structure. A number of different...

At low temperatures FeSi is a non-magnetic insulator, but becomes a metallic paramagnet for T > 300K. It has been proposed to be a Kondo insulator in which local electron...

Neutron scattering and in particular SESANS is able to give us excellent ensemble averaging of the optical properties of materials which exhibit structural colour. We plan to...

From our previous data on BaFe2As2 and BaFe1.9Ni0.1As2, one may assume that the superconductivity only affects the low energy excitations. But for Ba0.67K0.33Fe2As2, the doping...

A recently discovered new class of geometrically frustrated magnets is the family of cobalt oxides RBaCo4O7 (R=rare earth or Y). The structure is built up CoO4 tetrahedra which...

The FeTe1-xSex series exhibits superconductivity over a broad range of doping. Previously we have made extensive neutron scattering measurements on superconducting x = 0.49 and...

Antimony sulfo-iodide (SbSI) exhibits strongly-coupled photoconductive, semiconducting, and ferroelectric properties. Until the discovery of the lead-oxide ferroelectric relaxor...

TCNQ salts have also seen extensive research within magnetic systems where there have been a large number of metal-organic compounds synthesised that show interesting...

This proposal was submitted on MERLIN (RB1010206) and beam time was allocated on MARI. We have carried out low energy measurements on MARI and found a clear evidence of the spin...

Geometric frustration is widely accepted as a paradigm to bring out a novel paramagnetic state. Quasielastic paramagnetic scattering has been studied by neutron scattering so...

Via chi¿¿(Q,E) we aim to investigate the dependence of the Kondo temperature TK of YbInCu4 on external pressure and substitution. YbInCu4 undergoes a first-order isostructural...

For the first time, the research team aim to use INS to characterise a series of new high specification methane reforming catalysts. The enhanced performance of these catalysts...

The spin excitations in superconducting LiFeAs have been found evolved from incommensurate peaks to commensurate peak at low energy. But the spin resonance is still not clear in...

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...

We propose to use MERLIN to examine the full magnetic excitation spectrum Chi¿(q,w) of optimally doped Fe based superconductor BaFe1.84Co0.16As2. The primary goal of this...
