The proposal deals with understanding the paramagnetic fluctuations in CoV3O8 which have recently been investigated on MARI. This material displays cation disorder and strong... -
Microscopic Dynamics of Confined Water in Hexagonal Phase of REPO4 (RE=Y, La)
Confined water, a common natural phenomenon, shows very different structural, dynamical and phase behaviour vis-à-vis bulk, and it is depended on the host-water interactions.... -
Lithium amide: calcium hydride (1:1) as the basis for a new hydrogen storage ...
A definitive structural model of LiCaN from powder neutron diffraction (PND) is an important first step towards a systematic study of the process and mechanism of hydrogenation... -
QENS studies of Na-ion battery materials
LixCoO2 is used extensively in portable batteries in laptops and mobile phones, but the scarcity of Li means that alternative materials are required. Structurally related... -
Phase evolution in the transition from epsilon to gamma glycine
Glycine, the simplest naturally-occurring amino acid, exhibits unusually extensive phase diversity. Three polymorphs are known under ambient conditions. Each shows different... -

Crystal and Magnetic structure of CoFe3O5
A recent exciting development in magnetic materials was the discovery of a new iron oxide, Fe4O5, using high temperature and high pressure. A very recent structural study has... -
Inelastic Neutron Scattering study on new tetragonal compound Ce2PdGe3
Cerium-based Kondo lattice compounds have received great attention, owing mostly to the variety of exotic ground states that they exhibit (e.g., unconventional... -
Local structure of ortho-terphenyl glass
Ortho-terphenyl is a paradigmatic example of a molecular glass-former; yet the structure of its glass has never been fully described. We have recently demonstrated that, by... -
Investigation of phonon anomalies in the CDW phases of 1T-TaS2
1T-TaS2, an archetypal quasi-2D compound, reveals strong electron-phonon (e-p) coupling responsible for charge-density-wave (CDW) instabilities leading to a series of phase... -
A QENS Study of Guaiacol, a Lignin Model Compound, on a Hydrodeoxygenation Ca...
Bio-oil can be obtained from the pyrolysis of biomass and maintains a closed carbon cycle with no net increase in atmospheric CO2 level, making the environment cleaner. However,... -

The proposed experiment at ISIS aims at the characterization of the diffusional motion of the hydride-ions in SrVO2H, which possesses the highest H (hydride) content among... -
Investigation of segmental dynamics in polymer nanocomposite glasses with gra...
Polymer nanocomposites are formed by embedding polymer grafted nanoparticles in homopolymer host matrix. Polymers form glasses when cooled through their glass transition... -
Thermal equations of state for kyanite, andalusite and sillimanite
The three Al-silicate polymorphs, kyanite, andalusite and sillimanite, are well-known geological markers used to determine the extent of P- and T-induced metamorphism... -
Molecular weight dependence of 2D-confined dynamics in glass-forming systems
We seek to explore the dynamics of glass forming systems upon extreme 2D-confinement. These experiments are motivated by preliminary experiments on oligomers and macromolecules... -
Phase Separation in NaTaO3. Can it be controlled by pressure?
The present proposal seeks to establish the pressure dependence of the Pbnm-Cmcm transition in NaTaO3 and some doped variants thereof. It aims to understand the understand the... -
Detailed characterisation of metastable phase fractions in ZrW2O8
Cubic alpha-ZrW2O8 is the classic example of a material exhibiting the unusual property of negative thermal expansion (NTE). Despite this effect having been discovered 20 years...
