ATOMIC AND MAGNETIC STRUCTURE OF THE ORGANIC MAGNET Ni(TCNQ)2
Molecular magnets continue to be an important field of magnetic materials research. Such molecular magnets are chemically synthesized at temperatures lower than conventional... -
Muon Spin Relaxation studies of Ni2TCNQ, Ni(TCNQ)2 and related materials
Amorphous molecular magnetic materials Ni2(OA) (OA:organic acceptor) were reported to exhibit ferromagnetism with Curie temperatures >400K. This work is controversial as it... -
High Temperature Spin Transition in LaCoO3
We aim to continue our investigation of the high temperature magnetic interactions in LaCoO3. Our previous experiment has confirmed magnetic susceptibility data, with a change... -
Muon Spin Relaxation studies of Ni(TCNQ)2
Molecular ferromagnets offer great potential as they are synthesized at low temperatures and offer the possibility functionalization. Ni(TCNQ)2 is such a molecular ferromagnet,... -
Structural phase diagram of hydrated silks
The formation of silk fibres in both spiders and silkworms is characterized by a conversion of short range ordered structures in solution into long range ordered beta-sheet rich... -
Probing the structure of antibiotic-gold nanoparticle conjugates
In a one-pot synthesis, we are able to produce spherical gold nanoparticles capped with antibiotics, without the use of other chemicals by using the antibiotic as the reducing... -
Muon spin relaxation studies of KTCNQ and related compounds
Potassium tetracyanoquinodimenthane (KTCNQ) undergoes a spin-Peierls (SP) transition at 396K where a transformation from uniform to dimerised TCNQ- molecules in 1D columns... -
Inelastic neutron scatteing studies of KTCNQ
TCNQ salts have also seen extensive research within magnetic systems where there have been a large number of metal-organic compounds synthesised that show interesting... -
Wide-angle neutron scattering study of the unusual nematic-nematic transition...
An intriguing unknown variant of the nematic liquid-crystal phase (Nx) has been discovered first in a class of main-chain polymers, and later in LC dimers connected via an... -
Employing Rheo-SANS to understand how silk is spun
Combining structural information about silk proteins in solution whilst undergoing mechanical shear will open a new window into silk production in vivo and provide valuable... -
Silk fibrillogenesis: Morphology, structure and hydration of the intermediate...
At the heart of protein¿s aggregation are specific molecular events; and how they are modulated by changes in solvent conditions is key to our understanding and control of...
