The proposal develops recent observations on spin-lattice coupling in incommensurate materials (objective - measure influence of applied field on evolution of structural... -
Phase Behaviour in Pyrazine and Tetramethylpyrazine.
Pyrazine-I is stable < 302 K, phase II exists from 302-310 K, and phase III from 310-324 K. The known phase-I forms an ordered structure. It is thought that structures of... -
Evolution of complex surface structures in LAS / nonionic surfactant mixtures
This proposal is part of a broad programme of collaborative research between RAL / Oxford and Unilever, using predominantly scattering techniques to investigate the nature of... -
Influence of the cation disorder on the magnetic properties of underdoped cup...
We want to isolate the effects of doping, charge localization and local distortion on the transition from insulating antiferromagnet to superconducting metal in YBCO. We choose... -
Magnetism and superconductivity in hyperexpanded fullerides close to the Mott...
The fcc polymorph of the hyperexpanded fulleride Cs3C60 can be driven to a bulk suprconducting state without symmetry change by the application of pressure. Its Tc passes... -
An INS Study of the Effect of Pressure on the Crystal Structure Titanium Tetr...
TiCl4 forms a molecular structure containing isolated tetrahedral molecules on cooling to 248 K. The freezing pressure of TiCl4 is 0.05 GPa (500 atm). Single crystal growth... -
Temperature dependent diffusion of water in human red blood cells
We propose to measure the diffusion of water in human red blood cells on the high resolution spectrometer IRIS with quasi-elastic neutron scattering. Diffusion of water in cells... -
Insulator to metal transition in TiOCl at high pressures
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... -
Study of hybridization gap and insulator-metal transition in caged compounds ...
Heavy fermion compounds with a small energy gap opening in the strongly hybridised 4f-band at EF are currently under intensive investigations. Recently some of us have... -
Thermoelastic properties of ammonium sulfate, (ND4)2SO4, and the P-T dependen...
Ammonium sulfate exhibits a first-order phase transition upon cooling through ~ 224 K at room pressure, from a paraelectric to a ferroelectric crystal. There have been no... -
Neutron Powder Diffraction Experiments on Ternary Alkali Metal Palladium and ...
Na2PdC2 and Na2PtC2 are the first examples of ternary alkali metal transition metal acetylides. They were synthesized and structurally characterised by our group in 2001 based... -

Short range order in triglycine sulphate above the phase transition temperature
We want to better understand the intermolecular interactions in deuterated triglycine sulphate (DTGS). DTGS is a hydrogen bonded ferroelectric with a second-order, order... -
Thermal expansion and phase transition in magnesium sulfate trihydrate
A recent single-crystal study determined the crystal structure of MgSO4.3D2O, and discovered that a first-order phase transition occurs when the crystal is cooled below 245 K.... -
