Search for incommensurate spin excitation in BaFe1.904Ni0.096As2
Motivated by the observation of incommensure magnetic order in Ba(Fe1-xCox)2As2, we have recently grown BaFe2-xNixAs2 crystals with systematic electron doping level especially... -
High-resolution Neutron Strain Tomography
Oxford University in collaboration with ISIS neutron facility have developed a new technique for imaging strain in engineering components in three dimensions. We termed this... -
Strain analysis of commensurate charge order/zener polaron ordering transitio...
High resolution powder diffraction data will be used to obtain lattice parameter and atomic coordinate variations as a function of temperature for Pr0.6Ca0.4MnO3, which has a... -
Surface adsorption in hydrophobin and hydrophobin / surfactant mixtures
Hydrophobins are secreted fungal proteins and are small lipopeptide biosurfactants. They are strongly surface active and self-assemble at interfaces. Their unique film forming... -
High-energy spin excitations in the optimally doped Ba0.67K0.33Fe2As2
From our previous data on BaFe2As2 and BaFe1.9Ni0.1As2, one may assume that the superconductivity only affects the low energy excitations. But for Ba0.67K0.33Fe2As2, the doping... -
Neutron analysis of the structure of SrAl2O4 from 300 to 1273 K.
SrAl2O4 is a stuffed tridymite that has attracted a good deal of interest, since doping with Eu2+ leads to a material with elastic-luminescent response. The structure and phase... -

Temperature dependence of low cycle fatigue behavior in wrought magnesium all...
Magnesium alloys always exhibit a high directional anisotropy owing to their hexagonal crystal structure, which limits the modes available for plastic deformation and give rise... -
Deformation and Temperature induced martensite transformation in austenitic s...
Deformation-induced martensite formation is a thermo-mechanical phenomenon whereby the transformation of the austenite phase into martensite occurs above the martensite start... -
Spin excitations in Rb0.8Fe1.7Se2-xTex with Tc=20K
The alkaline iron selenide RbFe1.6+xSe2 superconductors are a new system of iron-based superconductor with Tc up to 32K. According to recent experimental results, the... -
The role of Disorder in Phase Transitions in some manganese Perovskites
The aim of this work is to understand the origin of the difference in the behaviour between the two doped manganites Sr0.65Pr0.35MnO3 and Sr0.70Ce0.30MnO3. The hypothesis we... -
Investigation of the effect of increased spin-orbit coupling on the performan...
We wish to perform PNR measurements on organic spin valve devices to assess the effect on the device performances of the spin relaxation mechanisms related to spin-orbit... -
The structures of PZT in its ¿rhombohedral¿ phases and their dependence on th...
In the piezoelectric ceramic material PbZrxTi1-xO3 (PZT) there is controversy about the structure of PZT at the Zr-rich end. This region has always been considered to be of... -
