More than the sum - oxidation behaviour of mixed fatty acid monolayers
Single molecule thin films of various surface-active species are found on the surface of water bodies from the sea down to microscopic spray droplets. These films affect the... -
Investigation of the magnetic hidden order in Sr2Ir(1-x)RhxO4 iridate with mu...
In the 5d layered perovskite material, Sr2IrO4, spin orbit coupling and strong electron correlations combine to give rise to a spin-orbit coupled Mott insulator, with a... -
Study of pore-confined CO2 depletion below the bulk triple point
Freezing of fluids confined at the nanoscale is of great importance for the understanding of their behaviour due to the confinement effects arising from the finite pore size and... -
Looking for the elusive alpha tin phase
The characteristics of metal alloys have always been considered crucial for the sound quality of organ pipes. Tin-rich materials were studied for conservation issues, like the... -
Understanding the barocaloric effect in Mn3NiN using neutron diffraction
Materials with large caloric effects offer the opportunity to replace current refrigeration technologies that require the compression of hazardous gases. Whilst magnetocaloric... -
Chemical control of structures and magnetic ordering of cobalt oxide chalcoge...
The response of the magnetic ordering of layered cobalt oxide chalcogenides to changes in electron count will be investigated in detail following a preliminary experiment at... -
Study of gas absorption in MCM41.
We have studied the absorption of nitrogen gas in MCM41 on NIMROD at a pressure of 1 bar and at temperatures to 87K (A K Soper and D T Bowron, Chem. Phys. Lett., DOI:... -
Lithium titanium niobium oxides for battery electrodes
This proposal is part of a lithium ion battery research project for finding new anode materials. The redox couples Ti4+/Ti3+ and Nb5+/Nb4+ in titanium and niobium oxides show a... -
Local structure and dynamics in metal-imidazolate frameworks
This proposal aims to study local structure and dynamics in two metal-organic frameworks (MOFs): namely, zinc imidazolate and cobalt imidazolate. Imidazole (IM) is a small, flat... -
Phonon density of states in W, Mo, Nb-doped CaMnO3 thermoelectric ceramics
Thermoelectric materials are able to directly convert a difference of temperature into electricity and vice-versa. Hence, they can be employed either in energy harvesting from... -
CEF investigation to clarify dual Kondo temperature in a Ce clathrate
Type-I clathrates are of active interest for thermoelectric applications at temperatures above room temperature. This is mostly due to rattling modes of the guest atoms in these... -
One- and multi-magnon excitations in a strong-leg quantum spin ladder
We propose to measure the one- and multi-magnon excitations in the first realization of a S=1/2 quantum spin ladder in the strong-leg regime. Our material, DIMPY, has very well... -
Exploration of the pressure-induced amorphization and glassy states of THF-cl...
Clathrate hydrates (CHs) are ice structures in which water molecules (host) form cages through hydrogen bonds. The cages can accommodate various types of molecules (guests),... -
Magnetic ordering in the layered oxide chalcogenides A2FeO3CuCh (A = Ca, Sr; ...
This proposal is to measure the evolution of the magnetic structures of a series of iron oxide chalcogenides and compare the structures as a function of cation sizes and with... -
Pressure dependence of the crystal structure of the strongly correlated bilay...
Ruthenium-oxides are important strongly correlated electron systems: the bilayer ruthenate Sr3Ru2O7 shows field-induced electronic order, while single-layer Sr2RuO4 is an exotic... -
Crystal and Magnetic Structures of Unusually High Valence Fe Materials
Highly oxidized iron oxides such as SrFe4+O3, CaFe4+O3, and CaCu3Fe4O12 display unusual electronic and magnetic behaviors due to the highly covalent nature of the Fe-O... -

Thermal expansion and ordering in D2O ice III / IX
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... -
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 excitations in mesoporous hematite
We have recently prepared mesoporous forms of various metals oxides. In some cases the imposition of a mesostructure changes other properties of the material significantly. One...
