Phonon-liquid electron-crystal behaviour in copper-rich tetrahedrites
Tetrahedrites are minerals which consist largely of earth-abundant and environmentally-friendly elements (copper and sulfur), and are attracting much interest due to their... -

Doping-induced energy gap in a quantum spin chain
SrCuO2 is a prototypical S = 1/2 antiferromagnetic (AF) Heisenberg 1D spin chain system. High-resolution neutron scattering studies has already successfully revealed the gapless... -
Phonon dispersions in CDW material Na2Ti2Sb2O
Na2Ti2Sb2O has a CDW transition around 120 K . It has a tetragonal structure with alternate layers of Ti2Sb2O2- and Na+ double layer. Interestingly, the Ba1-xNaxTi2Sb2O system... -
Investigations of some potentially multiferroic/magnetoelectric rare earth ta...
Multiferroics - where ferroelectric and magnetic orders co-exist - continue to be of technological and scientific importance, and of particular interest are the improper... -
Coordinated, Recoiling Molecules Tethered by Hydrogen Bonding: Ammonia in Zeo...
We request 5 days on IRIS to investigate the hindrance to molecular rotation of ammonia in a zeolite framework due to hydrogen bonding interactions. This is a tied proposal to... -
Demystifying the Haupt effect: the need for neutron scattering
In 1972, Haupt observed a giant enhancement of proton polarisation in NMR experiments on crystalline g-picoline. Key to this discovery was the implementation of quick... -
Molecular Mechanisms of Enhanced Thermal Conductivity in Copper-based Nanofluids
The combination of the transport properties of liquids with the high thermal conductivity of metals is a promising way of improving heat transfer efficiency and thus reduce... -
Magnetic excitations of heavily electron overdoped BaFe0.8Ni1.2As2
We have devoted much efforts to investigating the doping evolution of the magnetic excitations in electron doped BaFe2-xNixAs2 (x=0-0.6). Spin excitations for x=0-0.6 have been... -
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... -
Benchmarking New van-der-Waals Functionals for Soft Layered Materials
The accurate description of van-der-Waals forces within density functional theory is currently one of the most active areas of research in computational physics and chemistry.... -
Proton dynamics in novel organic ferroelectric materials
The vast majority of known ferroelectrics are inorganic compounds such as barium titanate and potassium dihydrogen phosphate. Contrary to naïve expectation, ferroelectricity in...
