This proposal forms part of our project to investigate the implications of non-trivial real-space topology in multi-k magnetic structures. We are here focusing on the rare earth...

SrCuTe2O6 is a quantum magnet featuring spin-1/2 magnetic ions that are coupled intoantiferromagnetic chains with frustrated interchain coupling. An ideal...

A definite understanding of the charge ordering phenomenon in the manganites has still not been reached, even for the case of prototype R1/2Ca1/2MnO3 manganites. In such...

The proposed 1111 system whose structures are largely underinvestigated exhibits properties with a strong potential for novel properties that complement our knowledge of the...

We have discovered a novel type of quantum spin liquid in a hexagonal lattice of Ru5+ dimers in Ba3ZnRu2O9, where any traces of the Curie tail or glassy behavior have not been...

There is great interest in scaling up Li-ion batteries for use in electric vehicles, requiring cheap and safe cathodes. Li2FeSiO4 shows promising performance as a cathode but...

We propose to measure the magnetic diffraction pattern of the potential Kitaev spin liquid compound Li2RhO3. Moderate spin orbit coupling in the Rh4+ ion is expected to results...

Space charge effects in Li-ion solid electrolytes

Catastrophic failures of lithium batteries is a major safety concern, however our understanding and control over the mechanisms of these failures is still lacking. Lithium is...

We will probe the response of the magnetic and crystal structures of layered manganese oxide chalcogenides to the oxidation state and the local coordination environment of Mn....

This proposal would like to map the diffraction patterns of Gd3Al5Gd12 (GAG) using the high flux diffraction instrument WISH. It is of great interest to solve the magnetic...

We want to isolate the effects of doping, charge localization and local distortion on the transition from insulating antiferromagnet to superconducting metal in YBCO. We choose...

Polymorphism is a common feature of many molecular materials The "Holy Grail" would be the ability to predict the appearance of polymorphism in a particular molecular system,...

Metastable multiferroic perovskites of the BiFe1-xScxO3 system, stabilised by high-pressure and high-temperature synthesis, demonstrate irreversible phase transformations upon...

This proposal is to probe the structure and magnetic ordering in Sr2CrO2Fe2As2 and Sr2CrO2Co2As2, in order to complete a description of trends in the Cr sublattice magnetic...

This is a new programme of work and a collaboration between CCLRC, Oxford, Unilever and Manchester. It is concerned with polymer aided deposition to solid substrates, using...

Ce-based intermetallic compounds display a rich variety of novel phenomena including heavy fermion and mixed valence behavior, Kondo insulator and semiconductor etc. Effective...

Eu2Ir2O7 is a ceramic oxide showing fascinating Weyl semimetallic state. It is associated with an insulator to metal transition below 120 K with the simultaneous long range...

We seek to develop new stable MOFs for practical separation and storage of CO2 and light hydrocarbons and request 3 days on WISH to study the preferred binding sites of adsorbed...

We propose to make neutron reflectivity measurements of the weak polyelectrolyte, poly(dimethy amino ethyl methacrylate), grown from two different surface densities of initiator...
