On the basis of exchange couplings obtained from early inelastic neutron measurements, we conjecture that the stacked honeycomb magnet FeTiO3 contains Dirac nodal lines in the...

This proposal is part of our research programme on spin and orbital order in frustrated systems. The spinel FeSc2S4 realises an exotic ¿spin-orbital liquid¿ with no magnetic or...

A bistable composite tape-spring is a thin-walled, laminated open slit tube, which is stable in both the extended and coiled configurations. For its lightweight and...

Our studies focus on the use of Co3Mo3N (331) as a catalyst in ammonia synthesis. During synthesis, N is lost and the compound is transformed to the new nitride Co6Mo6N (661); a...

The recent discovery of skyrmions and skyrmion lattices in materials with no inversion symmetry and their corresponding potential applications of Skyrmions in magnetic...

Thermoelectric devices are capable of converting thermal energy directly into electrical energy. Large-scale applications of the technology requires materials that are composed...

The mixed-valence sesquioxides A4O6 (A = alkali metal) are particularly intriguing magneticmaterials comprising of non-magnetic (O2)2- and magnetic (O2)- anions. Recent...

In recent years, the family of lead halide perovskite materials (e.g. MAPbI3) has attracted substantial interest due to their unique combination of properties and potential...

Amorphous molecular magnetic materials Ni2(OA) (OA:organic acceptor) were reported to exhibit ferromagnetism with Curie temperatures >400K. This work is controversial as it...

All solid-state sodium ion batteries are potential low-cost alternatives to lithium ion batteries, especially for static and large-scale energy storage systems. The shift from...

Zaccai et al. proposed to build up a neutron Dynamics Data Bank which would be populated with dynamical data of biological macromolecules measured with different techniques,...

PFN is a magnetic piezoelectric. The experiment plans to characterize the magnetic order with muons on PFN. We have previously used negative muons on Chronus to show an iron...

In power generation plants, many critical components are subjected to complex tension-compression cyclic loading followed by long-term creep dwells. While uniaxial creep...

Conductive polymers (CP) show desirable physicochemical properties, with CP-based nanocomposites being manufactured for various applications i.e. sensors The filler particles...

The structure of colloidal crystals (dispersions of particles that spontaneously order in a regular array) is known to be influenced by solid boundaries. However there are few...

In the last decades the production and consumption of reactive nitrogen increased exponentially due to the extensive utilisation of nitrogen containing compounds as fertilizers...

SrCuTe2O6 consists of a 3-dimensional arrangement of spin-1/2 Cu ions that are coupled into network of isolated triangles,a highly frustrated hyperkagome lattice consisting of...

We have prepared a new series of layered tellurides Cr2-xInxGe2Te6, containing 2D ordered arrays of (Cr,In) cations and (Ge-Ge) pairs. Recent neutron measurements reveal indium...

MAX phases exhibit a unique combination of the characteristics ofboth ceramics and metals coupled with an unusual combination of mechanical, electrical and thermal properties....

Schafarzikite minerals are structurally interesting in having 1-D chains of edge-linked transition metal octahedra. This experiment aims to determine the cause of the...
