Investigation of the magnetic phases of the charge transfer compound CuTCNQ
The charge transfer compound CuTCNQ (TCNQ = 7,7,8,8-Tetracyanoquinodimethane) exhibits switching between two electrical resistance states when subject to an electric field. It... -
First experiment with a pulsed field magnet at ISIS or how to break the 15T b...
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... -
Structures of New Niobates Prepared by Hydrothermal Synthesis
We have prepared some new highly crystalline mixed-metals oxides using mild hydrothermal reaction conditions. Some of these are doped niobates, related to the important... -
In situ deformation and transformation studies of zirconia dental ceramic
Yttria-stabilised polycrystalline zirconia ceramics (Y-TZP¿s) possess a unique combination of properties that make them attractive for dental prosthetic applications: strength,... -
In-Situ Study of thermal Stability of MAX Phases in Vacuum at Elevated Temper...
Ti2AlN and Ti4AlN3 are MAX phases that exhibit a unique combination of the characteristics of both ceramics and metals coupled with an unusual combination of mechanical,... -
Room temperature ferromagnetic/ferroelectric ordering in BaTiO3 - BiFeO3 - Pb...
There are very few genuine claims of materials that are ferroelectric and ferromagnetic at room temperature. In This proposal we will study both textured and non texture BaTiO3... -
Spin-Lattice coupling in Frustrated Triangular Lattice Antiferromagnet AFeO2 ...
In this proposal, we would like to propose to perform neutron diffraction experiments on the powder samples of the frustrated antiferromagnets AFeO2 (A=Cu and Ag) using WISH. In... -

Influence of lattice misfit on interphase load partitioning at high temperatu...
Fe-Al alloys strengthened by coherent phases are designed for high-temperature (HT) applications in thermal power plants. Lattice misfit (LM) between phases plays an important... -
Neutron PDF Analysis of Solid Methylaluminoxane as an Activating Catalyst Sup...
Methylaluminoxane (MAO) is the most commonly used activator and co-catalyst for transition metal complexes in olefin polymerisation reactions. Despite its widespread use, there... -
YMnO3-x : Mn(I) in a mixed metal oxide ?
Topotactic reduction of YMnO3 with CaH2 yields three new reduced phases. Two of these phases appear to have compositions close to YMnO2.5 but with very different anion vacancy... -
Structure-property relation in integer-spin quantum magnets
Our objective is to determine how changes in symmetry affect the magnetic ground state of spin-1 magnets. Low-dimensional S=1 systems are believed to support rich phase diagrams... -
Structure and Magnetism in Iron-Substituted Benavidesite
We wish to investigate a new series of materials in which manganese in benavidesite, MnPb4Sb6S14, is progressively replaced by iron, leading to jamesonite at complete... -
Structural and Magnetic Characterisation of a Novel Magnetic MOF
Metal organic framework (MOF) materials are porous solids formed from a network of metal centres mainly coordinated to organic linkers. Examples of magnetic MOFs with strong... -
Proton diffusion in zirconate perovskites investigated by QENS
The growth in both global demand for energy and fossil-fuel related environmental issues drive research on alternative fuel sources. Solid oxide fuel cells, which can operate on... -
In-situ lattice deformation measurement in a martensitic steel under cyclic l...
The objective of our research programme is to characterise and quantify the multiscale deformation in a high chrome martensitic power plant steels (P91/P92/MARBN). The work to... -
Cu-ion mobility and lattice dynamics in the liquid-like phase of Cu2Se
Thermoelectricity enables the conversion of waste heat into useful power, and it is becoming increasingly important for power recovery applications at high temperature, where... -
Determining the Crystal and Magnetic Structures of [Li(oxalate)]2[Co5(OH)8]
Dense corrdination frameworks that contain inorganic centres connected into extended lattices by polyatomic anions often adopt highly anisotropic structures. Thus they often... -
Identification of hydrogenic species on skeletal Ni catalysts
Alloy catalysts are commonly employed for selective hydrogenation of organic molecules due to their enhanced selectivity than individual components but their structural and... -
Deuteron Coherence in Carbon Nanotube Water
The protons in H2O confined in carbon nanotubes have been shown to delocalize coherently at low temperatures, exhibiting a rich phenomenology that is sensitive to the diameter...
