We propose to use a pulsed magnet system tried and tested at several neutron and synchrotron facilities in conjunction with the new high flux diffractometer WISH to perform the...

Perovskite zirconates have been suggested as potential next generation thermal barrier materials. SrZrO3 is particularly promising as it has an extremely low thermal...

Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) are a special kind of active materials in which the martensitic transformation (MT) is the basis of the peculiar superelastic, and shape memory...

Using a combination of state-of-the-art multi-scale computational models and advanced experimental analysis using small angle neutron scattering (SANS), atom probe tomography...

Every new triangular lattice (TL) antiferromagnet attracts considerable attention since they usually display rich physics due to the inherent frustration and degenerate ground...

The insertion of peptides and proteins into cell membranes is crucial for the functioning of cells, and also for the functioning of a variety of antibacterial reagents. Cells...

Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs) are emerging as low-cost and environment-friendly solvents for industrial process. DESs are formed by the association of a hydrogen bond-capable...

In recent years, amphidynamic crystals have gained more and more attention as a state of matter somehow intermediate between solids and liquids. In fact, although these systems...

We request 6 days commissioning time be allocated on PEARL for the on-line testing of new high-p/T furnace setups and new anvil materials.

We propose to study the effect of pressure and temperature on the crystal structure and the elasticproperties of lead selenide, an important material for conversion of waste...

Approved proposal under the ICRD Scheme Proposal ICRD0014

We are currently investigating the formation and structure of surfactant-templated polymer films comprised of cat-anionic surfactant mixtures and a variety of polymers. As we...

The present scientific case concerns a glass-forming system with even less degrees of freedom, namely the occupational disorder of high-temperature phase (I, P21/c) of...

We have initiated a new research programme that seeks to correlate features of the crystal structures of energetic materials (explosives, propellants) with their sensitivities...

Sodium sulfate decahydrate (mirabilite) may be an important rock-forming mineral in the outer solar system, comprising a large fraction of the mantles of Jupiter's icy moons; it...

We propose to continue laser spectroscopy measurements of the muonium (Mu-) centres in n-type doped silicon carbide. Scanning a wide wavelength range, and changing the relative...

Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) are new and exotic states of matter characterised by fractionalised excitations and macroscopically degenerate ground states. The S=1/2 kagome...

Colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) is observed in the oxypnictide NdMnAsO1-xFx (x = 0 - 0.085) at low temperature. The CMR in NdMnAsO1-xFx arises due to competition between a...

Metal-organic magnets are of interest primarily due to the synthetic versatility enabled by the vast array of organic complexes which can be used to coordinate magnetic ions and...

Graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) have potential as hydrogen storage materials, from direct physisorption of H2 or as a high surface area nanostructured host for metal...
