Single crystal, bulk Si1-xGex alloys are available across the alloy composition range, and provide opportunity for study of alloy properties in transition between the two...

Nd2Zr2O7 is a new candidate for quantum spin ice proposed theoretically. It has a well-isolated dipolar-octupolar doublet with Ising anisotropy as the crystal field ground state...

The interface of CaCO3 (calcite) and water is of paramount importance in a number of key academic and industrial areas, including scale deposition in domestic and industrial...

Microwave dielectric ceramics are used in communications devices. Such materials need high relative permittivity, high dielectric quality factor and be temperature stable....

We propose to continue laser spectroscopy measurements of the muonium (Mu-) centres in n-type doped silicon carbide. Scanning a wide wavelength range, and changing the relative...

Following our very recent work on the dynamic co-adsorption of our control antibody COE-3 and nonionic surfactant PS80-7EO from the mixed solution, We request 3 days of Inter...

We wish to perform longitudinal field measurements on the dipeptide Trp-Tyr under laserexcitation, to probe the electron transfer process within the molecule. We have already...

This study addresses the need to improve the reliability of measurements of weld residual stress; particularly for the type of welds used within the nuclear power industry. Such...

The use of deuteration to overcome the difficulties associated with the incoherent scattering from hydrogen, is a well established technique. However, there are increasing...

Nature abhors disorder and degeneracy at low temperature. Designing materials that confront this requirement can therefore lead to new states in which the degeneracy is lifted....

Small-sized metal nanoparticles (NPs) are of long standing interest to both magnetism and heterogeneous catalysis. Muon studies of Au NPs encapsulated in 'SBA-15' silica are...

Suspension thermal spraying (STS) techniques enable the use of sub-micron powder particles as feedstock, as opposed to the traditional use of dry powders with micrometric size,...

With the discovery of almost 3000 exo-planets it is clear that planet formation is a by-product of star formation, yet in the micron ? cm size range, where relative velocities...

The development of high energy density electrode materials is increasingly important for EV applications. Chief amongst these are the layered oxide materials LiNixMnyCozO2,...

Rare-earth tungstates have recently attracted significant attention due to its high-temperature proton or mixed proton-electron conductivity. The proton conductivity in La6WO12...

Benzophenone is an ideal material to study vibrations of a muon radical centre with near-IR laser light, as all C=O bonds in solid state are almost parallel to each other and it...

This proposal aims to unambiguously understand the proximity effect between graphene and a transition metal using Polarised Neutron Reflectivity (PNR) measurements at the POLREF...

We have recently discovered a pressure-induced quantum phase transition (QPT) at 4.3 kbar in the gapped quantum magnet piperazinium hexachlorodicuprate (PHCC) by means of...

This experiment seeks to characterise the monolayer composition and structure of binary mixtures of fatty acid and amine. This represents a key additive system used commercially...

Iron-based superconductors (FeSCs) have been an essential research area in condensed matter physics. Spins of iron sites forming a long periodic configuration, called the...
