We propose to study a layered oxide in which chromium cations describe a triangular array. Itseems us that no magnetic data are reported up to now for this alpha-CaCr2O4...

In this proposal we request 3 days of beam time on HRPD to study the structures (both atomic and magnetic) of a variety of oxychalcogenide phases: La2O2Se2Fe2O, Ce2O2Se2Mn and...

We request 4 days on WISH to study the preferred binding sites and locations of adsorbed gas molecules (CO2,NO2 and D2) within a decorated Al(III)-carboxylate porous framework...

YbPd crystallizes in the cubic CsCl-type structure and reported to have magnetically ordered ground state with the mixed valence of the Yb ion. Further, it under goes through...

This study will focus on the structural investigations of the bilayers formed on silicon substrates in which the outer leaf consists of DOPE/LPS mixtures. We aim is to achieve...

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...

Single molecule magnetism is a low temperature phenomenon. Even though there have been thousands of papers published in the area, there are no structural data at all for any...

BiFeO3 is the most widely studied multiferroic and rare earth doping overcomes problems associated with phase metastability and leakage which have hampered applications. We...

BiFeO3 is a room temperature multiferroic, displaying both ferroelectric and antiferromagnetic (AFE) ordering. x-BiFeO3 - (1-x)-PbTiO3 is also multiferroic at room temperature...

The long period cycloid in multiferroic BiFeO3 influences the potential applications of this material and it has been shown that doping (with La and Mn) enlarges the cycloid...

YbAl3C3 undergoes a structural phase transition at 80 K and a spin-dimer formation below 10K. To gain more information on the nature of the spin-dimer state and the phase...

Spin ice (SI) is a state of matter characterized by a residual (Pauling) entropy and unusual correlations. The huge interest in SI materials from the magnetism community stems...

Exotic electronic states are of great interest to fundamental science, such as the quantum spin-liquids (QSLs) which were theorised to behave like a sea of resonating spin...

We have been studying the formation of solid polymer-surfactant films at the air-solution interface formed from cationic surfactants with PEI. We wish to use the highly...

On exposure to ammonia, Li(11)BD4 forms the ammoniate Li(11)BD4(ND3)n. Our recent experiment (RB820252) has shown that there are four distinct crystalline phases in the...

Acetylene is produced in great abundance in the solar system wherever carbonaceous solids are exposed to energetic radiation. It has been the subject of several studies,...

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...

Despite many previous attempts, Sr4Fe6O12 (the expected fully reduced composition for Sr4Fe6O13-x) has not been synthesised. It is of interest because it is believed to contain...

Here we propose to search for magnetic order in 3 variants of the A2Ir2O7 (A=Y, Nd, and Lu) system. A fundamentally new, moderately-coupled, electronic ground state has been...

In this proposal we wish to continue our current work on mesostructured inorganic films in largely ethanolic solutions, containing limited amounts of water. Transition metal...
