Nature of non-magnetic ground state of In2Ru2O7 probed by muon spin rotation
Complex ruthenium oxides offer a variety of exotic electronic states, such as spin-triplet superconductivity, metal-insulator transition and spin-orbital ordering. We discovered... -
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... -
An Investigation on the claim of Universal Dynamic Magnetism of Ytterbium P...
Ytterbium pyrochlores (Yb2B2O7) have garnered a significant amount of interest due to the claim of the realisation of the quantum spin ice state in Yb2Ti2O7 (Ross et al., Phys.... -
Elucidating the Structure of [(LaCl)Ti28O40(OEt)38(X)]; but what is X?
Metal-doped TiO2 have particular applications as in catalysis of a range of reactions as well as in luminescence materials. Our strategy is to make well-defined molecular TixOy... -
Structural studies of thermochemical and phase-change naterials for heat storage
This proposal seeks to study three systems associated with heat-storage applications using in situ neutron powder diffraction. The first experiment will focus on a sample of... -
Using QLCR to Study Stopping Sites in Molecular Solids
Muon nuclear quadrupolar level crossing resonance is not a well-known technique, however it is extremely powerful. There is a large interest in probing the muon stopping site... -
Temperature-dependent crystal structure analysis of new pyrochlore ruthenate ...
In search for new materials with exotic electronic states, one often turns to strongly correlated materials. Ruthenium oxides attract attention as they exhibit intriguing... -
Effect of pressure-transmitting medium on the phase transformation of para-am...
The pressure-transmitting medium in a high-pressure experiment is usually thought of as an inert medium that allows the sample to be compresses rather than crushed. In organic... -
In Search of Superionic Conductivity of Mg2+ Cations
The migration of cations with a charge greater than 1 has received very little attention historically, perhaps due to no commercially driven demand for the research as well as... -
Investigating Lead Halide Perovskite Solar cells using ALCs
The research and development of Lead Halide perovskite solar cells is one of the most rapidly growing research areas. Since the discovery of these organic-inorganic metal halide... -
Combined SAXS and SANS analysis of strained composite materials
The microscopic origins of strain softening (Payne Effect) are vital to our understanding of energy dissipation in vehicle tyres. This proposal builds on our recent SANS... -
Effects of IR Illumination on Mu Dynamics and Mu0 Formation in TiO2
We propose a study of Mu dynamics and the low temperature Mu$^0$-like states in TiO$_{2}$ under near-IR illumination to investigate the resulting excitonic states and behaviour.... -
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... -
New Lifshits magnetic liquid phase in a non-centrosymmetric compound Mn3RhSi
Recently, new phase with Lifshits invariant of incommensurability is reported as a solitonic spin-liquid state above the magnetically ordered phase on Fe1-yTe. It cannot not be... -
Phase behaviour in Polymer-Photovoltaic Thin Film Blends
In polymer-fullerene based photovoltaic systems the phase behaviour of the blends is poorly understood and remains a fundamental stumbling block to improvements in device... -
Comparative Interaction Studies of Antimicrobial Agents on Bacterial Membrane...
The outer membrane (OM) of Gram-Negative bacteria (GNB) is an asymmetric structure which contains complex lipids known as lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) on the outer surface. LPSs... -
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... -
Reflectometry studies of the mechanism of formation of mesoporous silicate fi...
Surfactant-silica self-assembly processes have been extensively studied since the discovery of M41S mesoporous materials in 1992. Mesoporous silicate films can be grown from... -
Investigation of cross talk level among an array of thermal neutron counters ...
The research and development of new detection devices is a key issue to be addressed in neutron scattering due to the lack of 3He worldwide. Neutron radiative capture in heavy... -
Continuation of Effects of IR Illumination on Mu Dynamics and Mu0 Formation i...
We propose additional Muon Spectroscopy of Excite States (MuSES) measurements on TiO${2}$ to investigate Mu dynamics and low temperature Mu$^{0}$-like states in TiO${2}$ under...
