A new rare-earth triangular quantum spin liquid (QSL) candidate, YbMgGaO4, has an odd number of electrons per unit cell and spin-orbit entangled effective spin-1/2 (Yb3+)....

We request 5 days on NIMROD to characterise the pressure and temperature dependent properties of amorphous icy particles generated in liquid ethane, as they will be used in...

This proposal requests 3 days on Maps to investigate the nature of local structure and proton sites in the proton conducting brownmillerite system Ba2In1.85M0.15O6H2 (M = In,...

This proposal aims to study the potential for neutron diffraction to offer spatially-, chemically-, and temporally-resolved information on a dynamic system, in this case the...

This proposal is intended to further the measurements required for the full structural investigation of binary alloy FePt nanoparticles (NPs) and the surrounding surfactant...

Commercial routes for the manufacture of methyl methacrylate monomer have recently been developed that involve the reaction of esters over modified silicas, which are amphoteric...

This experiment will measure the microstructure of Amorphous Solid Water (ASW), a porous material that can be formed by vapour-depositing water onto a cold plate, an excellent...

We ask for 4 days beam time on GEM to study the dehydrogenation and subsequent rehydrogenation of Mg(11BD4)2. Mg(BH4)2 is currently one of the most promising lightweight...

The proposed experiment is addressed to use the MARI spectrometer to study the thermal denaturation process of the psychrophile enzyme alpha-amylase in presence of bioprotectant...

Magnetism is believed to be linked to superconductivity in cuprates and iron pnictides. However while the parent compounds of cuprates are Mott insulators, the parent compounds...

In a proof-of-concept beamtime award (RB1220486) we studied the process of platinum-catalysed benzene hydrogenation in the pores of MCM-41 using standard neutron diffraction...

We propose to investigate the spin dynamics in the Ortho-II order YBCO6.5 superconductor at energies above 100 meV. This study will be aimed at searching for the broadening of...

It has been known for some time that the CuO bond-stretching phonon in the high-temperature superconductor La2-xSrxCuO4 (LSCO) exhibits anomalies is its dispersion and damping....

In a previous experiment we measured the spin wave spectrum of the half-doped bilayer manganite Pr(Ca,Sr)2Mn2O7 in its spin, charge and orbital ordered phase. The data, which...

In a series of neutron spin-echo experiments (NSE) on the proteins alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) large scale large amplitude domain motions with...

The unprecedented simultaneous accessibility of the low and high Q region available on NIMROD allows to tackle the issue of ageing of colloidal systems from the point of view of...

following on the success of measuring the electronic excitation in NiO using MAPS, we wish to make similar but more extended measurements of the electronic excitations in CoO...

Sr0.75Y0.25CoO2.62 is a promising cathode material for solid oxide fuel cells. It shows metallic behaviour above 600K and molecular dynamics simulations have concluded that...

This experiment will determine how the structure and porosity of Amorphous Solid Water (ASW) changes when the “ice” is “contaminated” by adsorbate molecules. ASW is a porous...

Among light metal amide-imide catalysts for ammonia decomposition, lithium-calcium imide is the most promising candidate for practical application. Ex situ diffraction data...
