Quenched salt hydrates new ways of probing water clusters.
Very rapid quenching of liquids to form a glass, from which crystalline phases are subsequently obtained by devitrification, is a powerful technique for obtaining novel... -
Structural characterisation of a pyrochlore solid solution in the Na2O●...
3 days on POLARIS are requested to study three pyrochlore compositions in the Na2O●Bi2O3●TiO2 system that has been reported only once in the literature, without any... -
Investigation of modulated crystal and magnetic structure of Ni-Pt-Mn-Ga ferr...
Ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMAs) are of recent interest because they exhibit a shapememory effect that can be driven by magnetic fields. Thus, FSMAs are important for... -
Transport properties of sodium ions in novel electrochemical storage systems
The electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices are the key components in future?s smart energy grids enabling on-demand and efficient energy usage. To date, flow,... -
QENS studies of nanostructured hydrides
The search for a light, high-capacity hydrogen store continues. Ammonia borane (AB) is a complex hydride with excellent hydrogen capacity, of which half desorbs at moderate... -

Transition metal oxides make up a remarkable group of materials, exhibiting a wide variety of unusual electronic and magnetic properties. They have generated much interest, in... -
Magnetostriction in (Bi,La) orthoferrites
We have recently observed unusual magnetostrictive behaviour in Bi0.5La0.5FeO3 (BLFO), a phenomenon which is not present in either solid solution end member. This proposal seeks... -
Uptake of Molecular Hydrogen by High-performance Carbon Nanostructures (IRIS)
High sorption capacities and enhanced interaction strengths are the two most fundamental prerequisites for the deployment of carbon-based materials as hydrogen-storage media. In... -
Inelastic neutron scattering study on new Mott-insulating oxychalcogenides, L...
La2O2M2OSe2 (M=Fe, Co, Mn) are layered Mott-insulating antiferromagnets with a potential to be a non-copper high-Tc superconductor. All compounds have shown unusual magnetic... -
Dynamics of Poly Dimethyl Amino Ethyl Methacrylate / water glycerol mixtures
We want to study the microscopic mechanisms of solvent dynamics such as water and glycerol in ahydrophilic polymer. Dielectric measurements suggest that below the glass... -
Magnetic structure of a novel quantum magnet
Preliminary bulk measurements show that Ba(TiO)Cu4(PO4)4 is a potentially exciting candidate for studies of low-dimensional magnetism. However, currently relatively little is... -
Understanding the formation of diamonds: Calibrating the coesite solid-inclus...
Diamonds provide our only direct samples of the very deep Earth and understanding their origin is consequently of great interest to Earth Scientists. The origin of diamonds can... -
Hydrogen Uptake by Pillared Graphite Oxides
High sorption capacities and enhanced interaction strengths are the two most fundamental prerequisites for the deployment of carbon-based materials as hydrogen-storage media. In... -
What is the Room Temperature Structure of NaTaO3?
The current proposal seeks to establish the origin of t non-perovskite-like peak splitting observed in HRPD data for NaTaO3. It is our hypothesis that this is a result of the... -
