Divacancy superstructures and enhanced thermopower in NaxCayCoO2
Replacing Na ions in NaxCoO2 with divalent Ca ions results in the formation of ordered arrays of divacancy clusters, rather than the trivacancy clusters found for the pure... -
Exploring Multiferroic Couplings in Ca2MnO4
The Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) compounds An+1BnO3n+1 exhibit a broad range of technologically interesting properties such as high-Tc superconductivity, colossal magnetoresistance,... -
Ground state magnetic structure of EuCuAs
One of the major themes in solid-state physics is the realisation of exotic types of relativistic electrons which travel at speeds much slower than the speed of light. These... -
Single-crystal analysis of disorder in deuterated and protonated mirabilite
Mirabilite (Na2SO4.10H2O) is relevant to many areas of geology, planetary science, and even the construction industry. It occurs naturally in evaporite deposits, and even as... -
Revisiting the magnetic structure of Yttrium Iron Garnet
Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG) is a material with extremely wide ranging applications, having the narrowest ferromagnetic resonance linewidth of any known material. Despite decades... -
Atomic resolution holographic study of polycrystalline yttrium hydride
It is commonly accepted that the recording of holograms with atomic resolution requires singlecrystalline samples. Closer analysis, however, shows that the reduced information... -
Investigation of maleic-d2 acid isomerization at high pressure
Experiments performed in our laboratory indicate that maleic acid undergoes an unexpected structural change when subject to high pressure and temperature conditions. For these... -
Diffuse scattering study of single crystal PrBa2Cu3O7-x
Standard diffraction studies of PrBCO and YBCO show that these two compounds are isostructical. However, if any Pr/Ba disorder is present in PrBCO, the diffuse scattering signal... -
Investigation of the relevant thermodynamic parameters for the production of ...
With fantastic flux gains over its liquid conterpart, a solid methane moderator is essential to the newly built Second Target Station at ISIS. Unfortunately, it is notoriously... -
Magnetic field switching of electric polarisation in Y-type Hexaferrites
The magnetoelectric Y-type hexaferrites demonstrate coupling between magnetism and electric polarisation in relatively small applied magnetic fields, and are hence candidate... -
In-situ study of mechanism for magnetovolume effect in Cr-Fe alloys
Negative thermal expansion (NTE) materials, the volume of a material abnormally contract with the increase of temperature, is closed related to the magnetovolume effect (MVE) in... -
Single-Crystal Neutron Diffraction Study on [U(C5Me5)2(H)(mu¿H)]2
To our knowledge, the length of the U¿H single bond has never been accurately measured, at least not in a molecular compound by single-crystal neutron diffraction. We currently... -
Magnetic order in a three-dimensional honeycomb iridate
Oxides of 5d elements such as Ir and Os have been attracting much attention as candidates to realize novel types of electronic ground states stabilized by the strong spin orbit... -
Influence of superstructures on rich transport properties of lithium cobaltate
In the vicinity of x ~ 0.75, LixCoO2 has potential as a thermoelectric, since it has a high Seebeck coefficient and metallic conductivity. We have performed the first successful... -
Examining the properties of water channel in an organic matrix.
The objectives are to study the interaction of water molecules held in a channel in an organic matrix. We have structurally characterised a water tetramethylpiperididine complex... -
Proton ordering and hydrogen bonding in the hydrous zinc phosphate hopeite, Z...
We request 4 days of beamtime on SXD in order to locate the protons and quantify their ordering within the structure of hopeite Zn3(PO4)2.4H2O. Hopeite is an important phase in... -
Alloxan - a high density organic under pressure
Organic molecular crystal structures have densities that are typically in the range 1.2-1.4 gcm-3 although these can be increased, in general, to ca. 2.0 GPa through application... -
Spin-echo encoded neutron refraction of air bubbles in a fibrous protein gel
Calcium caseinate is a promising candidate to be developed into a meat analogue. When the dough like protein gel is subjected to mild shear and heat, it turned into a pronounced... -

Investigation of Magnetic Structures in magnetoelectric multiferroic Gd0.5Dy0...
Ferroelectricity in type-II multiferroics is induced by breaking of inversion symmetry by certain type of spin structure below the magnetic ordering temperature. Therefore, a...
