NdMnO3 exhibits A-type antiferromagnetism with TN =73 K. At 15 K, Nd sublattice orders with a (0, -Fy, 0) type ferromagnetic arrangement. Mn spin reorientation from (Ax, Fy, 0)...

Studying bosonic analogues of fermions in topological electron systems is one of the hottest areas. They are featured by linear band crossing points at finite energy in the...

The proposed work continues our investigations of the structure, aggregation, self-assembly and ion pairing of ionic liquids in the neat state, at interfaces, and in solutions....

Solar cells based on a layer of halide perovskite have recently seen rapid increases in efficiency, with certified values in excess of 20%. The prototypical material of this...

Block copolymers are of interest due to their ability to undergo microphase separation. Originally block copolymers were produced with a low polydispersity index (PDI) as they...

Melamine is a common organic molecule based on a six-sided ring; this unit typically connects with itself or other organic species to form layered crystal structures, which then...

In this proposal we request 3 days of beam time on HRPD to study the structures (both atomic and magnetic) of a variety of oxychalcogenide phases: La2O2Se2Fe2O, Ce2O2Se2Mn and...

As part of an on-going programme of work to better understand critical factors in the methanol-to-hydrocarbon process over ZSM-5 zeolite catalysts, it is becoming increasingly...

Greases used in harsh radioactive environments are showing microstructural damages. These defects cause changes in the physical and chemical properties of materials, which in...

Metal-organic perovskites offer many of the advantages of their ceramic analogues, with a range of exploitable functionality including ferroelectricity. Understanding the...

Nanostructured carbons are promising precursors for a high-capacity reversible hydrogen storage material with fast kinetics, but the interaction of H2 with pure graphite is too...

The accurate determination of the defect structure of rare earth (RE) doped ceria solid electrolytes is fundamental for the comprehension of oxygen diffusion and charge...

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...

Oxidation of urban aromatic atmospheric aerosol can produce cloud condensation nuclei capable of changing the reflectivity and lifetime of clouds. The oxidation of organic film...

Magnetic cooling has recently become the focus of cooling system technology as it boasts important advantages in terms of power consumption and for the environment e.g. not...

In this proposal we shall explore the nature of electrospun fibres produced from blends of cellulose and polystyrene which we shall use as a model to develop high strength...

Ionic conductivity is a property where a material is able to conduct electricity through the movement of ions. Oxide ion conductors can be used in solid oxide fuel cells, which...

A number of studies have determined that non-ionic surfactants are capable of altering diffusionrates and transportation of both water and active ingredients thorough the waxy...

We propose to use a pulsed magnet system tried and tested at several neutron and synchrotron facilities in conjunction with the new high flux diffractometer WISH to perform the...

Alkali-cluster intercalated fullerides (LixC60, NaxC60) proved to be suitable materials for solid state hydrogen storage. In these compounds the hydrogen is chemically absorbed...
