The Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction is thought to be responsible for the stabilization of weak ferromagnetism or magnetic spiral states in a number of diverse systems. An...

We have recently prepared mesoporous forms of various metals oxides. In some cases the imposition of a mesostructure changes other properties of the material significantly. One...

It is well known that water is the medium in which the overwhelming majority of biological processes take place. In cell membranes water molecules are thought to be essential to...

The applicants have used a recent EPSRC award to develop protocols by which INS can be used to investigate methane reforming catalysts. That work is now complete and we have...

A previous allocation of beamtime on MAPS [RB720354] revealed the vibrational fingerprint of methane reforming catalysts operating under so-called ¿dry¿ reforming conditions....

Hexagonal iridate Na2IrO3 has recently been proposed as a candidate material to exhibit strong spin-orbit coupling effects which may stabilize a Mott insulating state with...

The purpose of this investigation is to investigate the electric field dependence of the dynamics of the melting transition of bulk and confined water with an applied electric...

Although the first patents involving the nickel positive electrode are more than 100 years old, our understanding of the phases involved in this system is still not complete. As...
