We wish to exploit the contrast afforded by neutrons to study the ordering of In and Sn cations in indium tin chalcogenides. Cation ordering has been inferred from spectroscopic...

Magnetoelectric multiferroics have been recently the focus of a significant research effort. The experiment that we propose explores a new class of "magnetochiral" systems,...

This proposal is to observe single-spin diffusive motion on a two-dimensional (2D) percolating network having a fractal geometry. The random walker¿s travel times on a...

Ammonia borane (AB) is one of the most promising hydrogen storage materials. We have extensively studied the low temperature behaviour of this material This proposal asks for 3...

BiFeO3 is the most widely studied multiferroic and rare earth doping overcomes problems associated with phase metastability and leakage which have hampered applications. We...

The defect thiospinel, GeV4S8 adopts a cubic structure at room temperature (space group F-43m). We have identified a new monoclinic phase of this material at 2K, which may be...

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...

Magnetically frustrated materials are unable to adopt the regular long-range ordered states observed in conventional insulating transition metal oxides. Instead they tend to...

KMnF3 perovskite undergoes 3 structural, and two magnetic phase transitions on cooling from 300 K to 2 K. Above 185 K the compound is in the aristotype structure, on cooling...

Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) are molecular mixtures similar to ionic liquids, having melting points below room temperature. However instead of being composed of a salt, the...

We will study H2 dynamics in the nanotubular clay imogolite whose structure has an external diameter of ~2.5 nm and an inner diameter of <1 nm. The tube length of synthetic...

Back up experiment to fill gap in the schedule if beamtime is available

Yttrium iron garnet Fe3Y5O12 (YIG) is the material of choice for spin Hall related effects, magnonics, inter alia and has been used in microwave applications for many years....

Three MOFs samples with high hydrogen storage capacities at 77K, and high surface area, are willing to be analyzed. In order to investigate hydrogen interactions within the...

Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) are intriguing states of matter in which magnetic frustration and strong quantum fluctuations prevent classical long-range magnetic order. To date,...

This proposal forms a very specific part of our project to investigate complex magnetic structures in rare earth intermetallics. In extensive bulk measurements on high purity...

Recently we have investigated magnetic and quadrupolar ordered states of YbRu2Ge2 using zero-field muon spin relaxation (µSR), neutron diffraction and inelastic neutron...

Silicon nitride is a mechanically tough and light-weight ceramic material able to withstand high temperatures. It is therefore becoming increasingly attractive for use in...

In this proposal we aim to study the low temperature uptake and dynamics of hydrogen in the interlayer region of partially hydrated pillared clays. There are linked dual...
