A better understanding of the magnetic excitation spectrum of LuFe2O4 is required to refine current models of the magnetoelectric coupling in this novel "electronic"...

This proposal is concerned with determining the local structure of LaCoO3 and observing changes within this as the material undergoes some well characterised temperature driven...

We have recently used INS to determine how a hydrogen pre-treatment stage of an iron based Fischer-Tropsch catalyst may modify catalytic performance. That work established how...

We request 5 days on SANDALS to investigate the structural effect of expanded metals in the LiNa-MeNH2 system at three different concentrations. The interplay between...

Superconductivity (SC) in unconventional superconductors is believed to be related to magnetism. However, in AyFe1.6+xSe2 (A = K, Rb, Cs) system discovered in late 2010, the SC...

Organic-based materials have found applications in a wide variety of devices, including light emitting diodes, photovoltaics, and field effect transistors. These take advantage...

NiPS3 is a magnetic material. Its structure has similarities to graphite in that the atoms are strongly bound in planes but the planes are only weakly bound. It is called...

The biomaterial potential of many calcium phosphates, such as hydroxyapatites and tricalcium phosphates (Ca3(PO4)2, TCP hereafter), have led to much literature attention over...

We propose to the measure the spin and orbital fluctuations associated with Vanadium in MgV2O4 using the MAPS direct geometry chopper spectrometer. This proposal will use the...

Research into the quadruple perovskite manganites has expanded, owing to recent discoveries of technologically relevant properties and entirely novel electronic states. Through...

Mixed-anion compounds such as lanthanum oxyfluorides are increasingly attractive as materials in energy technology applications, such as fuel cells, electrolysers and permeation...

Oxalyl chloride (mpt. 260 K), forms an ordered phase at low temperature, but a disordered phase between 250 K and the melting point. In previous beamtime we aimed to carry out...

Recently synthesized new perovskite TlMnO3 is distinct in respect of crystal structure (space group) and orbital ordering from those of the previously known trivalent perovskite...

Over the past two years I have carried out high-pressure surveys of the ammonia monohydrate (AMH) phase diagram using a Paris-Edinburgh press mounted on the D20 beam-line at the...

We propose inelastic neutron scattering (INS) experiment on single crystal of the prototype topological insulator (TI), Bi2Se3, at MAPS to measure q-dependent joint-DOS, based...

Control of magnetism purely with electric field is a key goal of spintronics as it offers low power alternatives to current computer memory devices. The piezomagnetic effect...

The modified pyrochlores AM2+M3+F6 (A alkali metal ion, M transition metal ion) are a class of highly frustrated materials that have a randomness associated with the positions...

Ortho-terphenyl is a paradigmatic example of a molecular glass-former; yet the structure of its glass has never been fully described. We have recently demonstrated that, by...

This proposal seeks to conduct total-scattering studies on thallium and caesium azides to investigate the effect of temperature on the atomic motions, particularly of the azide...

FeSe has a superconducting ordering temperature Tc = 9K. Superconductivity coexists with nematic order which is manifest most clearly by an orthorhombic distortion which sets in...
