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

The catanionic vesicles are unilamellar or multilamellar spheroid structure composed of cationic and anionic surfactant molecules assembled into bilayers. Vesicles forms by...

The main goal of the present proposal is to evaluate the methane hydrate formation in nanocavities of ZIF-90 using inelastic neutron scattering (INS) measurements. Recently, we...

Layered oxides are increasingly attractive as electrode materials in energy technology applications, such as fuel cells, electrolysers and permeation membranes. As the...

Understanding the structure and stability of mineral phases which contain harmful elements, such as U and As, is vital to determine the likelihood of toxic element release into...

We have recently observed unusual magnetostrictive behaviour in Bi0.5La0.5FeO3 (BLFO), a phenomenon which is not present in either solid solution end member. This proposal seeks...

In this application we will conduct the first detailed study of the structure of glassy metal-ammonia systems ? so-called Ogg glasses, named after the person who first proposed...

We want to investigate the collective dynamics of water at intermediate length scales (below the first structure factor peak and approaching the hydrodynamic range). To...

The outer membrane of Gram negative bacterial is an effective barrier for many harmful agents. We have been developing and testing advanced models of the Gram negative bacterial...

Cemented carbides are composite materials manufactured via powder metallurgy. The excellent wear resistance, high hardness, and high toughness make them widely used materials in...

Differences in heavy metal nuclear momentum distributions (NMDs) in different metallic compounds due to chemical binding and effective temperature difference will most likely...

We propose to measure the magnetic excitation spectrum of the potential Kitaev spin liquid compound Li2RhO3. Moderate spin orbit coupling in the Rh4+ ion is expected to results...

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...

Ge-Sb-Te chalcogenide alloys are important for applications in advanced (non-volatile) random-access memory based on a reversible switching between the crystalline and amorphous...

Freezing of fluids confined at the nanoscale is of great importance for the understanding of their behaviour due to the confinement effects arising from the finite pore size and...

Materials with large caloric effects offer the opportunity to replace current refrigeration technologies that require the compression of hazardous gases. Whilst magnetocaloric...

Thermoelectric devices are capable of converting thermal energy directly into electrical energy. The efficiency of a device is related to the characteristics of the materials of...

This is a proposal to determine the magnetic structures of the Rb/NH3 and K/NH3 intercalates of FeSe. These compounds exhibit superconductivity when freshly prepared, but...

Motivated by the goal of improving the proton conduction in the brownmillerite Ba2In2O5 we are investigating the role of isovalent substitution at the indium sites. In...

We measure electron-hole recombination rate in low-temperature pure silicon using the photo-MuSR technique. The previous works have measured the recombination rate down to -30...
