Structural Disorder in the Quantum Spin Liquid Candidate YbMgGaO4
Quantum spin liquids are novel magnetic states in which quantum entanglement suppresses conventional magnetic order. Understanding the effects that stabilise such states is an... -
The origin of ultra-low thermal conductivity in the thermal barrier material ...
Thermal barrier materials are used in modern turbines to enable them to run above the melting temperature of the turbine blades. However, to go to higher temperatures (and... -
In-situ hydrogen decomposition studies of ammonia borane and the diammoniate ...
Ammonia borane (AB) is one of the most promising hydrogen storage materials. We have extensively studied the low temperature behaviour of this material This proposal asks for 3... -
Investigation of crack nucleation in superalloys using advanced neutron methods
It is proposed that crack nucleation will be investigated at ISIS using the EnginX beam line with the IMAT imaging detector. Notched LCF specimens with varying materials and Kt... -
Structural and magnetic neutron diffraction study of a novel frustrated syste...
Every new triangular lattice (TL) antiferromagnet attracts considerable attention since they usually display rich physics due to the inherent frustration and degenerate ground... -
Neutron Diffraction study of Highly Frustrated SrEr2O4
We propose to measure the neutron diffraction pattern of a single crystal sample of SrEr2O4, using the WISH diffractometer. As the magnetic Er ions in this compound are linked... -
The high pressure structures of ammonium fluoride
Ammonium fluoride is an ionic H-bonded analogue of ice. Its behaviour is thus of interest as a comparator for ice. This proposal is for beamtime to make the first neutron study... -
Unpicking the signal of partial order from thermal motion in diffuse scatteri...
Orientationally-disordered water molecules in ice adopt a degree of partial order upon cooling, a process that is halted by kinetics at ~100 K in pure ice and ~60 K in KOH-doped... -
30 T High Magnetic Field Neutron Diffraction on Multi-ferroic TbMnO3
The main target of the proposal is to determine the magnetic phase diagram of multi-ferroic compound TbMnO3 in extremely high magnetic fields around 30 T by using a pulsed... -
High Energy Spin Fluctuations in BaFe1.9Ni0.1As2
There has been much research into the recently discovered iron based superconductors, but so far only the magnetic excitations at low energy have been investigated. We propose... -

The dynamics of the calcium-ammonia-graphite decomposition with hydrogen
Graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) have potential as hydrogen storage materials, from direct physisorption of H2 or as a high surface area nanostructured host for metal... -
Low-temperature structures of Prussian blue analogues for electrochemical app...
We propose a low-temperature diffraction study at POLARIS of Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) of general formula NaxMM'(CN)6, where 1 < x 2. These systems currently attract... -
A high pressure study of the novel hybrid improper ferroelectric HgMn7O12
We have recently discovered how a novel type of hybrid improper ferroelectricity can arise in the perovskite HgMn3Mn412. This ferroelectricity is driven by a highly unusual... -
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... -
Excitations in an orbitally dimerized spin S=1 honeycomb antiferromagnet
Ru4+ ions in Li2RuO3 are on a bipartite lattice and have an orbital degeneracy. The four electrons of the magnetic Ru4+ ions in the threefold-orbitally degenerate t2g manifold... -
Insights into the structure of mechanochemically-synthesised ternary lithium ...
In the current work, we study inorganic solid-state electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries. These materials, unlike the traditional liquid electrolytes, could lead to a...
