Investigation of the low temperature, applied field magnetic order in copper-...
We propose to fully explore the field induced magnetically ordered phase of copper-nitrate, Cu(NO3)2.2.5D2O, at temperatures below 0.13 K and in fields up to 5 T. The key aims... -
Gas-phase oxidation of insoluble monolayer at air-water interface with no equ...
The Earth¿s climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects cloud droplet size and optical properties, important climatic... -
Electron localisation in vanadium hollandites
Hollandites (AxM8O16, where A is a large cation and M is a transition metal, here vanadium) have been studied for a wide range of properties, including electronic phenomena such... -
Self-diffusion of water-ethanol mixtures
This project will investigate the self-diffusion of ethanol-water mixtures to support our work on supramolecular gels in drug delivery. As these solvent mixtures are safe to use... -
The effect of manufacturing conditions on residual stress in polycrystalline ...
Polycrystalline diamond cutters are ultra-hard tools used for oil and gas drilling. They are produced by sintering diamond particles at High Pressure (5.5+ GPa) and High... -
Metallic chains on a triangular lattice
Both 1D physics (dimensional frustration) and geometric frustration offer ways of achieving unusual quantum ground states that defy the usual tendency for systems to order at... -
Mapping the highly complex magnetic phase diagram of TmCu
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... -
Structural studies of methyl stearate
In order to tackle emissions targets for CO2, there is increasing pressure to replace fossil fuels with renewable fuels. Biodiesel is one such renewable transportation fuel that... -
Solvent and drug diffusion in supramolecular gels
This proposal addresses issues related to understanding drug diffusion in supramoleculargels with view at fundamental pharmacological questions for drug delivery. Preliminary... -
Neutron scattering studies of novel multiferroic materials
This project lies on the study of multiferroic materials in which both electric dipole order and magnetic order coexist. These materials are of the potential for new technology... -
