We propose to perform high-resolution neutron diffraction on strained Ca3Ru2O7, a material in which electron correlations, spin-orbit coupling and crystal fields combine to...

The high-pressure form of solid water, ice III, is the equilibrium phase in contact with liquid water at pressures from about 2.0 - 3.5 kbar. Consequently, its properties are...

Geometrically frustrated antiferromagnet LuBaCo4O7 exhibits unusual competition between two low-temperature phases with orthorhombic and monoclinic symmetry. Depending on...

The yeast Candida glabrata is becoming an increasing cause of infections. We have developed RNA interference tools that allow us to study the virulence and resistance mechanisms...

Diffraction from hydrogenous materials is complicated by its large incoherent scattering contribution. For many materials, deuteration before performing experiments is the...

We wish to measure the magnetic excitations and subgap states in a doped (x=0.06) spin ladder using MERLIN. The purpose of the measurements is to ascertain the relationship...

Fracture prediction of structures manufactured from high strength engineering steels is a high priority in key industries. In this work residual stress (RS) effects on creep...

The main aim of our proposal is investigation of thermally induced volume changes occurring in short range order of amorphous pseudo-binary Fe(Mn)-B alloys in the vicinity of...

We propose to deeply investigate one metallic (iron based) failed tie-rod sample, from Duomo di Milano (Italy). The tie-rod, a typical iron strengthening element in gothic...

The family of guanidinium metal formates has the perovskite structure and, like many perovskites, is of interest for these materials' magnetic and electric properties, in...

Hertbertsmithite ZnCu3(OH)6Cl2 is a model S =1/2 kagome antiferromagnet, received much attention last years. From recent studies a sign of a nearby quantum phase transition...

Iron oxide nanoparticles are one of the first nanomaterials to be approved for use in the body. However, research into particle binding and incorporation to, as well as...

The high-pressure form of solid water, ice III, is the equilibrium phase in contact with liquid water at pressures from about 2.0 - 3.5 kbar. Consequently, its properties are...

A vast amount of work has been conducted on understanding metal organic frameworks (MOFs) in their powder form. However, for use in industrial processes, powders will need to be...

Water ice displays a remarkably complex phase diagram containing pairs of hydrogen-ordered / disordered phases. Ice XII is a hydrogen-disordered phase and ice XIV is its...
