There has been significant interest in the oxide ion conducting material La2Mo2O9 as a new electrolyte after initial reports of conductivity as high as that of YSZ at lower...

Recently we have investigated the cubic compound PrRhSn3 using the dc and ac susceptibilities and the heat capacity. We found an evidence for the cluster-glass behavior with a...

We have synthesised a Co centred and an In centred MOF which represent the first examples of MOFs in which the channels are functionalized by both acidic carboxyl and basic...

With fantastic flux gains over its liquid conterpart, a solid methane moderator is essential to the newly built Second Target Station at ISIS. Unfortunately, it is notoriously...

The proposal involves the non-invasive measurement of ancient Roman coins by ToF diffraction techniques. A well selected series of Victoriati are to be measured in order to...

Multiferroic materials which exhibit both ferroelectric and (anti)ferromagnetic ordering are of great technological importance offering the potential for the design of novel...

Welds have an associated residual stress field that affects the propagation rate of weld zone defects/cracks. Crack propagation modifies the local stress field through residual...

The research and development of new detection devices is a key issue to be addressed in neutron scattering due to the lack of 3He worldwide. Neutron radiative capture in heavy...

This proposal seeks to measure the poly-CINS (polycrystalline coherent inelastic neutron scattering) spectrum from magnesium deuteride (MgD2); a powder sample on the MARI...

Tri-block copolymers offer an excellent model system for the study of crystallization in the bulk as well as close to interfaces. It is known that the structures formed by this...

A recent beautifully resolved INS spectrum of solid ammonia shows distinct differences in phonon states compared to initial calculation. This suggests that strong...

We have recently performed a ZF muon experiment on Ba3Dy2GaNb9O30 in EMU under the influence of electric fields and demonstrated that this material demonstrates multiferroic...

Hydrogen Storage still remains the technology bottleneck for a more widespread use of hydrogen. Solid complex hydrides such as amides, alanates and borohydrides have been...

Our neutron study on YbAl3C3 reveals the presence of two well defined magnetic excitations at 1.5 and 3 meV at 4 K due to spin-dimer formation. Interestingly the specific heat...

Bimetallic nanoparticles are attractive materials due to their novel electronic, magnetic optical and catalytic properties which are distinctly different from those of their...

Protection of biological molecules during freezing and lyophilisation is of commercial importance to the pharmaceutical, medical, and food industries. Sugars and surfactants...

We propose to investigate the highly one-dimensional (1D) S=1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet (NO)[Cu(NO3)3] which is a potential realization of the Nersesyan-Tsvelik model. The...

The selective oxidation of saturated C-H bonds is a crucial step in many industrial processes. Recent we have discovered an alternative green one-step route for the selective...

We propose to investigate the arrangement of Ti, Zr, Ni and Sn over the 4 available atomic sites in the half-Heusler structure for the title series. This will help rationalise...

Topological insulators (TIs) are of inherent interest as they are conducting on the surface whilst insulating on the bulk. We would like to investigate magnetically doped...
