Numerous chemical additives have been added to steel surfaces to improve adhesion, and prohibit corrosion if the substrate is reactive to its surrounding environs. This...

We propose to test and pre-commission the recently constructed LET incident beam polariser. The device employs high powered lasers to optically pump a 3He neutron spin filter...

We have recently succeeded in isolating single crystals of Beta-MnRu, which we know propose to study using the WISH diffractometer. Previous powder measurements of beta-MnRu...

The origin of the Invar effect, whereby certain ferromagnetic alloys exhibit near zero thermal expansion around room temperature is still not properly understood. Although the...

Experimental realisations of spin models which exhibit a breakdown of Neel order have been much sought in the last few decades. One of the most theoretically attractive models...

beta-manganese is the only room-temperature-stable crystal structrure of elemental manganese, which remains paramagnetic at all temperatures. This is in stark contrast to both...

beta-Mn metal is a good example of metal close to a magnetic/non-magnetic instability. It doesn't order magnetically at any temperature, and yet has a large Somerfeld constant,...

We propose a study of the magnetic structure of isotopically enriched Gd2Ti2O7. We have successfully grown and characterised large single crystals using low-absorption 160Gd. In...

In an attempt to study the dynamics of Dy2Ti2O7 measured using muons we have made a sample of 162Dy2Ti2O7 where the 161 and 164 isotopes are reduced to a minimum (max. 0.6% of...
