An interesting In(III)-framework has been synthesized at the University of Nottingham by the group of research of Martin Schroder. This metal-organic framework is based on...

Metal oxide nanoparticles are a form of pollution generated by a number of industrial procedures, and there is evidence that this class of nanoparticle can have a detrimental...

The aim of this proposal is to determine the crystal structure of Fe3O4 (magnetite) in its low temperature phase below the Verwey transition. Despite a considerable amount of...

Jadeite, NaAlSi2O6 is an important mineral in metamorphic rocks and occurs in low as well as high metamorphic grade. Previously we have determined the thermoelastic properties...

Since the discovery of high transition temperature (high Tc) copper oxide, many efforts have been made on the understanding of its electronic and magnetic properties. Although...

Neutron diffraction offers one of the most interesting and meaningful methods for non destructive quantitative determination of the phase composition of materials. However, it...

The stress-induced martensitic deformation and variant conversion (due to straining in the martensite state) of a Ti-50.8% Ni shape memory alloy will be studied. Macroscopic...

We propose neutron diffraction experiments on quasicrystals (Ti45Zr38Ni17)1-xDx (x = 0 and 0.58). Ti45Zr38Ni17 absorbs and desorbs hydrogen atoms substantially. However the...

This experiment will use high resolution neutron diffraction to investigate the crystal and magnetic structure of the cobalt adipate framework, Co(CO2(CH2)4CO2), at lower...

The aim of this proposal is to examine the relative population of sp2 and sp3 bonds in a small number of graphitic samples, given that the bond length is 1.42A for standard sp2...

Geometrically frustrated systems such as pyrochlore compounds receive much attention since they display exotic magnetic states. The explanation lies on the large degeneracy of...

Neutron Resonance Capture Analysis (NRCA) is a valid and effective experimental tool for the elemental analysis of objects (e.g. the metallic ones), especially those of...

Gas clathrate hydrates are crystalline inclusion compounds formed when water and gas come into contact at high pressures and low temperatures. To date there are only three...

ZnV2O4 possesses coupled spins, lattice and orbital degrees of freedom. A number of models of orbital ordering have been proposed for the tetragonal phase, these are real...

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...

We have recently demonstrated that it is possible to obtain structural information about adsorbed hydrogenous species from a variety of metal catalysts. We emphasise that this...

The rotational line of hydrogen is very clearly measured with TOSCA. For the past few years I have noticed that the changes in the position of the rotational line do not follow...

We propose to use two days of beamtime on POLARIS to carry out the first analysis of the Pair Distribution Function of lithium-conducting garnets. These materials show...

We aim to determine the ligand field parameters of the [HoPc2]¿ complex belonging to the family of lanthanide double decker (Ln=Dy3+,Ho3+,Tb3+) single-molecule magnets (SMM),...
