Cation Ordering in Quaternary Sulphides and Selenides
We wish to investigate quaternary chalcogenides, A2ZnBQ4 (where A = Cu, Ag; B = Ge, Sn; Q = S, Se). Calculations indicate stannite (S) or kesterite (K) superstructures of both... -
Characterization of the fast lithium ion conducting phases Li(BH4)1-xBrx
Two days of beamtime on GEM will be used to analyse the structure of the fast lithium-ion conductive phases formed by anion doping the hydrogen storage material LiBH4 with... -
Dynamical disorder or incipient nano-ferroic distortions in CaSnO3 perovskite?
It has always been assumed that CaSnO3 perovskite remains orthorhombic (Pbnm) as a function of temperature up to its melting point, and is rather unremarkable in many ways.... -
Size-dependent magnetic structure of nanomaterials of skyrmionic insulator Cu...
Chiral magnets with topologically protected states, such as magnetic Skyrmions in Cu2OSeO3, have been the center of attention of the scientific community in recent times due to... -
The Structure of Lead Tungstate-Phosphate Glasses
Lead tungstate phosphate glasses are of practical interest due to their electrochromic and photochromic properties, with a wide range of practical applications in smart windows,... -
Local structure, dynamics and magnetism of the phases of cobalt imidazolate
This proposal concerns the metal-organic framework (MOF), cobalt imidazolate. Imidazole (im) is a small, flat organic molecule that forms slightly bent metal-im-metal linkages,... -
Structure and dynamics of quartz-like metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)
As part of an ongoing effort to understand the underlying physics of MOFs, we propose to study the local structure and dynamics in two quartz-like systems: indium deuterium... -
The Nature Of Magnesium Substitution in Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate
We have a long established interest in the materials used for the immobilisation of nuclear waste from the domestic power industry and legacy waste from various defence... -
How molecular solids prepare for phase transitions: The phase transition in o...
Oxalyl chloride (mpt. 260 K), forms an ordered phase at low temperature, but a disordered phase between 250 K and the melting point. In previous beamtime we aimed to carry out... -
Structural investigation of biodegradable Mg-based bulk metallic glass
Mg-Zn-Ca glasses show considerable promise for use as medical implants. Magnesium, zinc and calcium are all elements found within the human body, and the biocompatibility of... -

The structure and hydrogen bonding of poly(pyridobisimidazole) (PIPD)
PIPD is a polymer with unusual tensile and compressive strength. Inter and intramolecular H-bonding interactions are thought to be responsible for these properties. PIPD is also... -
Magnetic order in new double-perovskite Pb2ScOsO6
Osmates in the perovskite-like structure are very topical. For example, recent discoveries include Slater transitions, and "ferroelectric-like" structural transitions. These... -
Measurement of the neutron cross section of α-alanine and other amino acids f...
The solid state of L-alpha-alanine is routinely used as a dosimeter for X-ray, gamma, and electron radiations. Recently, in the framework of boron neutron capture therapy, it... -
Local structure in Ti2AlX (X = Ta, Mo, Nb, Cr or Fe) B2 ordered intermetallic...
Research focused on improving the efficiency of gas turbines is of great importance for energy generation and transportation. A much desired way of achieving this is the... -
Technological study of ancient byzantine 12 Nummi coins Part II
Byzantine bronze coins (6th cent. AD) minted in Alexandria, and now in the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna, are studied with focus on technological aspects. For the leaded... -
Structure and Magnetism in 2D and 3D Ln2O2MxSe2 Materials
We have recently been able to prepare an exciting new family of infinitely adaptive layered Ln2O2MSe2 phases with controllable transition metal architectures that determine... -
An Investigation of Magnetic Transitions in NdMn1-xCoxAsO0.95F0.05 (x = 0.03,...
We have recently reported colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) in NdMnAsO0.95F0.05. The CMR in NdMnAsO1-xFx arises due to competition between a strongly correlated antiferromagnetic...
