Proton diffusion in lithium imide: a quasi-elastic neutron scattering study
Li_2NH has been recently considered for H_2 storage applications. However, its low-T crystal structure is still controversial, with at least 6 options compatible with the... -
Study of phonon density of states in PGEC titanate thermoelectrics
To understand the thermal conductivity suppression within PGEC titanate oxide thermoelectrics we hope to complement theoretical calculations performed on several perovskites... -
Violation of the Gaussian approximation in the incoherent spectrum of hydroge...
A well-known approach to the self-dynamics of liquids is based on the Gaussian approximation, where it is assumed that the motion of a molecule is fully determined by a unique... -
Low-dimensional glasses: Effect of occupational site disorder in the excess o...
The present scientific case concerns a glass-forming system with even less degrees of freedom, namely the occupational disorder of high-temperature phase (I, P21/c) of... -
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... -
The high pressure structure of cobalt-bearing silicate glasses
The aim of this proposal is to examine the pressure induced changes in the structure of two cobalt-bearing silicate glasses. Transition metals such as cobalt can adopt different... -
Magnetic field switching of electric polarisation in Y-type Hexaferrites
The magnetoelectric Y-type hexaferrites demonstrate coupling between magnetism and electric polarisation in relatively small applied magnetic fields, and are hence candidate... -
Magnetic Excitations in SrRuO3
SrRuO3 is particularly interesting as it is the only simple Ruthenate that exhibits ferromagnetic order at ambient conditions, which still is a rare phenomenon in the broader... -
Spin-orbit transitions in Co2V2O7
We propose to investigate the magnetic fluctuations and spin-orbit transitions in Co2V2O7. This material is structurally related to CoV2O6 which displays cascading magnetization... -
Investigation of new phase, MnBi2, by in situ high-pressure neutron diffraction
Permanent magnets are essential for renewable energy technologies such as electric cars and wind turbines. Global demand for magnets is increasing, however, the elements used to... -

La2O2M2OSe2 (M=Fe, Co, Mn) are layered Mott-insulating antiferromagnets with a potential to be a non-copper high-Tc superconductor. All compounds have shown unusual magnetic... -
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... -
Spin excitations in RbFe2F6 and CsFe2F6 A possible S=5/2 Kagome lattice?
Geometrically frustrated spin systems are important owing to the fact that the geometry often suppresses conventional mean field ground states in favor of more unconventional... -
