Organic molecular crystal structures have densities that are typically in the range 1.2-1.4 gcm-3 although these can be increased, in general, to ca. 2.0 GPa through application...

Skyrmions are topologically protected, nano-sized objects which have been shown to exist in the spin textures of a range of magnetic materials and are currently under intense...

This study aims at developing a reliable method for probing diagenetic alterations in human bones upon burning events, by INS spectroscopy. The results will be coupled to Raman...

We propose to study the low temperature structural and magnetic changes in three clinopyroxene phases FeGeO3, CaNiSi2O6 and CaCoSi2O6. All three phases order...

Human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) is a membrane-bound enzyme of clinical interest and a well-validated drug target for e.g. rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis....

A-site-ordered perovskite oxides with formula AA'3B4O12 have a rich variety of physical and chemical properties. Most have Jahn-Teller active Cu2+ or Mn3+ at the square-planar...

The aim of this experiment is to measure in-situ the high temperature beta phase in a Ti and Zr alloy in order to relate the beta texture with the alpha texture observed at room...

The magnetism of spin-crossover (SCO) materials containing Fe(II) can be switched by changing conditions. The low-spin state existing at low temperature or high pressure can be...

Thus proposal seeks to explore the nature of electrospun composite fibres where the polymeric material contains a substantial quantity of biopolymer obtained from food waste -...

Zeolites are incredibly useful porous aluminosilicate materials. We use them both domestically (pool water purification, washing powders, pet litter, odor removal, water...

Multiferroic materials which exhibit 2 or more of the ferroic order parameters continue to attract extensive attention. The most widely studied multiferroic is bismuth ferrite...

The immersion deposition of silver onto copper and brass from deep eutectic solvents (DES) is a novel method for protecting the surface of printed circuit boards. Background...

Organometallic compounds play an important role in catalysis, and compounds with metal carbonyl groups have been studied at elevated pressure by vibrational spectroscopy, but...

Clathrate hydrates (CHs) are ice structures in which water molecules (host) form cages through hydrogen bonds. The cages can accommodate various types of molecules (guests),...

The transparent and low-cost nature of dye-sensitised solar cells (DSCs) affords them niche prospects for electricity-generating windows in buildings for energy-sustainable...

Frustration in magnets could stabilize both order and disorder. Exploring frustrated magnetism is of great importance to understanding the quantum many-body physics and...

Schafarzikite minerals are structurally interesting in having 1-D chains of edge-linked transition metal octahedra. This experiment aims to determine the cause of the...

Recently we have been investigating the mineralization of polymer-surfactant films to create thicker and more robust self-supporting membranes. Our previous experiments used the...

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...

The meta-orbital transition is a new theoretical concept to explain the nature of quantum criticality in heavy-fermion systems. Such a transition can occur e.g. as function of...
