Crystalline electric field excitations in the triangular-lattice rare-earth s...
The rare-earth compound KYbSe2 provides a new chance for the study of frustrated magnets with strong SOC. It resembles YbMgGaO4 in many ways. Our susceptibility and specific... -
Spin waves in the single layer half doped manganite Pr0.5Ca1.5MnO4
We propose to measure the spin wave dispersion and intensities throughout the Brillouin zone of the single layer half-doped manganite Pr0.5Ca1.5MnO4, whose ground state has the... -
Evolve of the Spin Waves in Rb0.8Fe1.6Se2 at High Temperature
The newly discovered AxFe2-ySe2 (A=K,Rb,Cs) compounds have attracted great interests because of their parent compounds are insulators instead of being metallic [2-6].... -
Carbon dioxide methanation over novel nickel based catalysts
A team of physical chemists (Glasgow) will combine with a team of chemical engineers (Beijing University of Chemical Technology) to develop an improved understanding of the CO2... -
The application of INS to examine a Fischer-Tropsch-to-Olefin catalyst that h...
In conjunction with an industrial partner (Sasol Technology UK), the applicants have previously used INS measurements performed on the MAPS spectrometer to characterize a series... -
INS Study of Bio-oil on a Hydrodeoxygenation Catalyst
The Indonesian government has passed a new policy regarding a mandatory regulation for all gas stations nationwide to replace existing diesel fuel to B-20 biofuel. Bio-oil is a... -
Magnetic Exciations in single crystalline Erbium Iron Garnet
Erbium iron garnet is a technologically important material with potential use in quantum computing. The predicted presence of a magnetic resonance and an optically active erbium... -
Low Energy Dispersion of a Stripe-Ordered, Hole-Doped Antiferromagnet
Our previous studies of the hole-doped antiferromagnet La1.75Sr0.25CoO4 have shown the distinctive "Hour-Glass" dispersion attributed to magnetic and charge ordered stripes.... -

INS studies with MAPS of Nafion and model compounds
In the archetypal hydrogenoxygen proton exchange membrane fuel cell design, a proton-conducting polymer membrane (typically Nafion) contains the electrolyte solution that... -
Observation of intermediates on a transfer hydrogenation catalyst
The design and development of novel catalysts for chemical synthesis is incredibly important from both academic and industrial perspectives. Approximately 90 % of all commercial... -
Spin-orbit transitions of Co3+ in LaCoO3
In our first measurement of the high energy spectrum of LaCoO3 we observed a signal which is a promising candidate for an electronic transition from the low spin ground state of... -
Understanding absorption of the energetic compound 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-on...
Insensitive munitions (IM) are munitions that will not react violently to accidental insult, thus they are relatively safe to handle and store. Ongoing research into IM has led... -
The chemisorption of hydrogen on cobalt
Cobalt based catalysts are widely used within industry for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) in the production of sulphur free diesel. Despite the wide application of cobalt...
