We propose to perform a systematic study of the intermolecular librational mode of molecular water in the proton conducting hydrated alkali thio-hydroxogermanates...

Er2Ti2O7 constitutes an experimental realization of the <111> easy-plane pyrochlore AFM and orders at 1.1 K into the theoretically predicted spin structure. However, the...

The object of this proposal is to determine, by using neutron diffraction, the nature of the polyamorphic phase transition that occurs in glassy GeO2 with increasing pressure....

For many Heusler compounds a spin polarisation close to 100% was predicted by band structure calculations. Thus if those materials are incorporated in magnetic tunnel junctions,...

Abstract. In experiments at LLB and ILL we have measured low-resolution INS spectra and elastic scans for H2O- and D2O-hydrated samples of a 15-residue oligopeptide between 30...

Apatite-type lanthanide silicates/germanates have been attracting considerable interest as a new class of oxide ion conductors. The presence of interstitial oxide ions is...

Phenomena surrounding the wetting of natural or artificial topographically patterned surfaces are found systems associated with the diverse fields of chemical engineering,...

This proposal aims to exploit the superior flux on the upgraded HRPD coupled with the intrinsic high resolution to correlate the magnetic structure and the crystal structure of...

The 'non-magnetic' ground state of a Kondo ion is generally believed to consist of the localised spin surrounded by a compensating cloud of conduction electrons coupled...

The proposed experiment will focus on determining the level of texture memory and variant selection on both heating and cooling for steel and titanium and zirconium alloys with...

We propose to study the high temperature structure of TiOCl where a pressure induced metal to insulator transition has been reported recently by Kuntscher et al.Due to our...

Patterned, swellable hydrogels are finding increasing applications as sensing, optical focussing and actuation elements in Lab-on-a-chip structures because of their property...
