The purpose of this investigation is to investigate the electric field dependence of the dynamics of the melting transition of bulk and confined water with an applied electric...

To understand this novel ground state of CeCuAl3, we have carried out low and high-energies inelastic neutron scattering (INS) measurements using the IRIS and HET spectrometers....

Ammonium sulfate exhibits a first-order phase transition upon cooling through ~ 224 K at room pressure, from a paraelectric to a ferroelectric crystal. There have been no...

We wish to investigate the evolution of the low-field ALC peaks with temperature of TMS-Pentacene, so we can extract the temperature dependent electron spin relaxation rate. Our...

While Y(Mn1-xAlx)2 (x<0.02) is seen as a system of AF coupled local Mn moments (T<110K), alloys with 0.02<x<0.3 show characteristics of a topologically frustrated...

This proposal aims to exploit the superior flux on the upgraded HRPD coupled with the intrinsic high resolution to examine the differences between a sample of Sr2CoO2Cu1.85S2...

We wish to investigate the pH-dependence of the strong interfacial interaction of 1,2-Dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) with poly(silicic) acid at the air-water...

The subjects of this proposal, Ho2+xTi2-xO7-x/2, are brand new materials1 related to Ho2Ti2O7, a spin ice2,3. They have the remarkable property of remaining disordered at very...

Ammonium sulfate exhibits a first-order phase transition upon cooling through ~ 224 K at room pressure, from a paraelectric to a ferroelectric crysta. There are outstanding...

The effect of isotope exchange on the Néel temperature in the cuprates was neer determined because it was impossible to perform relaible isotope exchanges in the parent...

During the course of a PhD project funded by CCLRC's CMPC, we have developed a cell that allows electrical transport property measurements to be made simultaneously with the...

The quantum spin liquid (QSL) state is one of the possible outcomes of quantum fluctuations advancing magnetic systems into a disordered phase. After more than 30 years of quest...

We have recently performed a `proof-of-principle' Low Energy Muon Spin Rotation experiment on an organic spin valve. In an extension to our muon measurements and an attempt to...

This proposal seeks to measure the poly-CINS (polycrystalline coherent inelastic neutron scattering) spectrum from magnesium deuteride (MgD2); a powder sample on the MARI...

This proposal is part of our research programme to explore the interplay of thermal and quantum fluctuations near zero-temperature quantum phase transitions. Here we apply for a...

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...

We seek to explore the dynamics of glass forming systems upon extreme 2D-confinement. These experiments are motivated by preliminary experiments on oligomers and macromolecules...

Stabilised bismuth oxides are of interest as intermediate temperature solid electrolytes for a variety of electrochemical device applications. Lead doping into bismuth yttrate...

We plan to continue inelastic neutron scattering measurements on the high Tc cuprate superconductor BSCCO with optimum doping. In the proposed experiment, we will have about 40...

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...
