We request 10 days on TOSCA to carry out inelastic neutron scattering (INS) study of a multifunctional catalyst (Pd/MoO3) for the one-step isomerization in the...

Geometrical frustration in the spin ice material Dy2Ti2O7 leads to macroscopic degeneracy and the observation of magnetic diffuse neutron scattering down to the lowest...

We ask for 3 days on GEM to study in-situ the decomposition of the Na-substituted LiNH2 phases, Li1-xNaxND2, LiNa2(ND2)3, Li3Na(ND2)4 and their reactions with LiD. LiNH2 is the...

The recent exciting observations in the magnetic excitation spectra of cobalt oxides that are isostructural to the prototypical high-temperature superconducting cuprates have...

INVAR behaviour is the property of having zero thermal expansion over a given temperature range; something very important for certain engineering applications, and very...

Charge density wave (CDW) order has recently been established as a generic feature of high-temperature cuprate superconductors. It occurs near 1/8 doping and has been observed...

In contrast to the extensively verified Weyl semimetals with broken inversion symmetry, magnetic Weyl semimetals, which break time reversal symmetry, were only theoretically...

The oxygen transport membrane is a system being developed by St Andrews in conjunction with industry, which at high temperatures will allow the selective migration of oxygen...

Flexible functional materials are important candidates of current research, because of their potential applications in plastic electronics. Organic ferroelectrics are one of...

INVAR behaviour is the property of having zero thermal expansion over a given temperature range; something very important for certain engineering applications, and very...

Benzene is probably the most studied compound in the history of organic chemistry. Whenever a new experimental technique or theoretical method is being developed most of the...

Ammonia hydrates are important constituents of the outer solar system. In recent x-ray studies we have found evidence for a solid solution between ice and ammonia at high...

Clay barriers are routinely used in nuclear waste repositories to isolate radionuclides from the biosphere. Such barriers have to be carefully designed to remain effective for...

The ambient-pressure phase of ice is a well-known example of a molecular solid that exhibits negative volume thermal expansion below 60 K. In a recent study carried out on HRPD...

What does a quantum particle do when you are not looking at it? For a classical moving object, like a golf ball, we know its trajectory even when we are not looking at it. This...

We ask for 8 days of beam time on CRISP to study the absorption and desorption of hydrogen and deuterium in Ti/Mg/Pd trilayer samples. Our specific objective is to understand in...

We propose to investigate the field induced behaviour of ErB4 using WISH. ErB4 is an example of experimental realisation of the Shastry-Sutherland lattice, a frustrated lattice...

Large multiprotein complexes are the new frontier in structural biology. Individual proteins may be solved by X-ray crystallography but the relationships between subunits and...

One of the major themes in solid-state physics is the realisation of exotic types of relativistic electrons which travel at speeds much slower than the speed of light. These...

Organic ferroelectrics are in the focus of current research because their potential applications as a material to address global challenges. These lightweight, flexible and...
