Ionic liquids based on biocompatible ions such as amino acids are of significant interest since they offer access to a lower-cost and lower-toxicity family of green solvents for...

Because of the potential applications of multiferroicity, the discovery of a new multiferroic (MF) material is invariably met with great enthusiasm in the condensed matter...

The late first row transition metal monoxides are the canonical antiferromagnets. Their magnetic structures were first determined many decades ago but contemporary studies have...

Oxide ceramics based on ceria, CeO2, have been the subject of considerable research for the role of solid electrolyte within solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), since their ionic...

A combination of high real-space resolution neutron diffraction and 27Al and 29Si NMR experiments will be used to measure the structure of glassy MgO-Al2O3-SiO2. A focus will be...

Composites materials that combine the flexibility and mechanical robustness offered by polymers with the functionality displayed by metal oxide nanoparticles offer new insight...

We request 5 days on WISH to study the preferred binding sites and locations of adsorbed gas molecules (CO2, SO2, C2D2, C2D4, and D2) within a decorated Al(III)-carboxylate...

The main purpose of the experiment proposed here is to study the effects of thermalisation on Artificial Spin-Ice (ASI) systems formed by nanomagnets with sub-100 nm lateral...

Carbon nitrides are emerging as an important class of materials with applications that range from Li+ ion and electronic charge storage in batteries and supercapacitors,...

Low temperature embrittlement of stainless steels are due to phase separation and it is known that the kinetics of phase separation depend on the initial structure. However, the...

Manipulating nanoparticles in liquids is crucial for their scalable implementation in future technologies. For example, such liquids can be used like paint to create uniform...

The family of guanadinium metal formates (M=Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu) are isostructural with the perovskites and are therefore of interest for potential applications: in particular,...

Owing to their promising applications, especially in spintronics, multiferroics have been at the fprefront of condensed matter research for a number of years. In these...

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...
