Investigating short-range nematic correlations in paradigmatic iron-based sup...
Iron-based superconductors possess an unusual property known as electronic nematicity, in which electrons spontaneously choose a preferred direction. The nematic state and its... -
Influence of superstructures on rich transport properties of lithium cobaltate
In the vicinity of x ~ 0.75, LixCoO2 has potential as a thermoelectric, since it has a high Seebeck coefficient and metallic conductivity. We have performed the first successful... -
Examining the properties of water channel in an organic matrix.
The objectives are to study the interaction of water molecules held in a channel in an organic matrix. We have structurally characterised a water tetramethylpiperididine complex... -
Residual Strain Scanning of Medieval double-edged sword from the Royal Armouries
The European Medieval double-edged sword develops in the 11th century from the Viking Age sword. Already in the 10th century, some of the finest examples of the Ulfberht type of... -
Depth-dependent diffraction of sheldonian head cores
13 carved busts have ringed the perimeter of the Sheldonian Theatre since 1669. Twice the Heads have been replaced when deteriorated beyond recognition. The second generation... -
Unravelling the mechanisms of negative thermal in γ-Mg(11BD4)2
We request 2 days on HRPD to perform a detailed study of the low temperature behaviour of γ-Mg(11BD4)2 in order to measure the change lattice parameter as a function of... -
Structures and compositions of Li-conducting framework materials with low sym...
Re-chargeable Li ion batteries play a key role in modern consumer electronics and may have an important part to play as energy storage devices in a low carbon economy of the... -
Proton ordering and hydrogen bonding in the hydrous zinc phosphate hopeite, Z...
We request 4 days of beamtime on SXD in order to locate the protons and quantify their ordering within the structure of hopeite Zn3(PO4)2.4H2O. Hopeite is an important phase in... -
Investigation for pressure-induced ferroelectric polarization flop phenomenon...
We propose to perform neutron diffraction experiments under high-pressure on multiferroic TbMnO3 using WISH in combination with hybrid-anvil-type high-pressure device. Recently,... -
Linking solvent structure to materials synthesis: Choline Chloride:Urea-Water...
In our recent work we have studied formation of nanostructured cerium oxides from the choline chloride:urea deep eutectic solvent (DES). We found that as water content in the... -
Exploring nanoscale phase separation in alpha-NaMnO2 and CuMnO2 2D frustrated...
Recently, our combined diffraction and NMR experiments have shown that alpha-NaMnO2, an antiferromagnet with two-dimensional triangular stacked topology, is a striking example... -
Characterisation of the magnetic properties of SnxFe4xN
Gamma'-Fe4N exhibits fascinating magnetic properties. It adopts a simple perovskite-like structure (space group Pm-3m) with iron atoms occupying the corners (Wyckoff position... -
What is the Room Temperature Structure of NaTaO3?
The current proposal seeks to establish the origin of t non-perovskite-like peak splitting observed in HRPD data for NaTaO3. It is our hypothesis that this is a result of the... -
In-situ Neutron Diffraction Measurement combined with the First Cyclic Deform...
As additive manufacturing (AM) is moving into the production of more heavily loaded end-use components, particularly within the aerospace sector, improved understanding of the... -
Residual stress characterization of laser formed aluminium plates using neutr...
Laser forming is a novel manufacturing technique used to form metal sheet into complex geometries. The process is based on the introduction of thermal stress including plastic... -

Dy3Mg2Sb3O14 - a 2D Kagome lattice with Classical Ising Spins
Dy3Mg2Sb3O14 forms a layered structure with magnetic Dy3+ ions forming sheets of corner sharing triangles, called a Kagome lattice. The Ising magnetic moments are constrained to... -
Monitoring Packing Changes in Magnetic Halogenated Phthalocyanine Molecules
The way that small molecules pack together can have substantial ramifications on the observed physical properties, reactivity, and device characteristics, even if the molecule... -
Investigation of Magnetic Structures in magnetoelectric multiferroic Gd0.5Dy0...
Ferroelectricity in type-II multiferroics is induced by breaking of inversion symmetry by certain type of spin structure below the magnetic ordering temperature. Therefore, a... -
Deformation mechanisms in several simple alloys to underpin creep damage char...
The proposal is to study three alloys, both at high temperature and room temperature, to corroborate strain results obtained through high resolution digital image correlation....
