In-situ thermoelectric measurements of copper chalcogenides
Thermoelectric devices are capable of converting thermal energy directly into electrical energy. The efficiency of a device is related to the characteristics of the materials of... -
Correlation between local dynamics and shape of SDS micelles
This is in continuation with our earlier proposal (RB910248) for which experiment was carried out during August 2009. Fast segmental dynamics of surfactants in rod-like... -
Neutron Diffraction study of Highly Frustrated SrEr2O4
We propose to measure the neutron diffraction pattern of a single crystal sample of SrEr2O4, using the WISH diffractometer. As the magnetic Er ions in this compound are linked... -
Local Dynamics in End-Functional Poly(ethylenes)
Poly(ethylene)s carrying multiple end-functional groups on a single chain end have been prepared from polybutadiene, saturated with either hydrogen or deuterium. These materials... -

Studying the dynamics of PVA/graphene nanocomposites
The unique properties of graphene make it one of the best candidates as reinforcement of polymeric nanocomposites. One such case are poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/graphene... -
Dynamics and phase behaviour of Fullerol using low energy neutron spectroscopy
Fullerene and its derivatives have become materials of great technological interest for a number of reasons including their success as electron acceptors in organic photovoltaic... -
Reversible Redox in a Cerium (IV) Germanate Scheelite: a New Oxygen Storage M...
Materials that show oxide-ion mobility (solid electrolytes) and/or reversible uptake and release of oxygen (oxygen storage materials) have important uses in applications... -
PDF analysis of Li+ ordering in defect perovskite Li0.18Sr0.66Ti0.5Nb0.5O3 (L...
Our work on LSTN showed that it exhibits favourable electrochemical properties, i.e. rapid diffusion of lithium into the structure at low temperatures and the ability to... -
Improper ferroelectricity in hexagonal tungsten bronzes
Ferroelectrics are an important class of materials in modern electronics. Their application range from simple capacitors to ultrasonics transducers and sensors to memory... -
Solvation structure of propane/propene in [C4mim][NTf2] ionic liquid - II
There are great energy costs associated with the separation of the light olefins (ethylene and propylene) from mixed hydrocarbon gas feeds. These olefins (obtained from natural... -

Electrostatic interaction effects in orientationally disordered phases
Plastic phases are characterized by a positional ordering of the molecular centers of mass while molecules are rotating in a hindered way. Therefore these phases are... -
Magnetism and first order phase transition of Ni42Co8Mn38Sb12: Neutron diffra...
Heusler alloys have gained important place in condensed matter physics due to their versatile functional properties such as large magnetoresistance, giant magnetocaloric effect,... -
Polymorphism across the Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3-NaNbO3 solid solution
Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 (NBT) based materials can present high level of oxide-ion conduction and therefore they are promising electrolytes for IT-SOFCs. The conductivity of highly... -
A comparative study of tricriticality in CoMnSi and NiMnGe
We propose to use WISH to examine whether a transition between different spiral antiferromagnetic structures in zero magnetic field is the key to tricriticality at finite fields... -
In-situ studies of amides with ammonia
The aim of this proposal is to determine that materials that are present in the ammoniation of amides. -
Probing atomic and mesoscale structural correlations in 1-alkyl-3-methylimida...
This proposal aims to extend our understanding of ionic liquid structure by performing measurements that will complement the data previousy collected on SANDALS. We propose to... -
Are La3Ni2NbO9 and La3Ni2TaO9 relaxor ferromagnets?
A relaxor ferroelectric exhibits a net polarisation only in an applied electric field due to the co-alignment of polar nanoregions. In La3Ni2SbO9 we found the magnetic...
