Temperature dependence of the coercive stress in rhombohedral PZT ceramics
The aim of the proposed experiment is to determine the temperature dependence of the coercive stress, i.e. the critical stress required to induce ferroelastic domain switching,... -
Spin Waves at High Temperature in the Parent Compound of the Superconductor F...
The recently discovered iron based superconductors have transition temperatures second only to the cuprates. The majority of these compounds display superconductivity after... -
Understanding Structural Changes in Amorphous Solid Water (ASW) on Heating
This experiment will establish the structural changes that occur in Amorphous Solid Water (ASW) prior to the process of pore collapse or crystallisation. We will study the... -
Binding Particles with Proteins at Interfaces
Understanding and controlling the interaction of nanoparticles with biomaterials is key to alleviation of concerns about nanotoxicity. This knowledge can also be used to design... -
Defining workshop practices in high-quality 1st century AD Roman bronze artef...
Two intact first century AD Romano-British tombs containing rich assemblages of grave offerings were excavated in 2007 by Oxford Archaeology near a section of the A2 route in... -
CuH: a (nearly) 200 year old problem SANDALS
Copper (I) hydride, CuH, is unique amongst the binary metal hydrides in that it can be synthesised, at room temperature, in aqueous solution. In recent years CuH generated in... -
Influence of component geometry and scan strategy on the residual stress in S...
Unlike casting, Selective Laser Melting (SLM) powder bed system can be applied to build near-netshape components with complex geometries in a short lead time. Recently, SLM... -

Cation environment and the tellurite anomaly
We have recently shown that the anomalous behaviour of the Te-O coordination number, nTeO, for binary tellurite glasses is related to the presence of terminal Te=O bonds in... -
Measuring strains in geologically important hydrous minerals
We request 4 days of beam-time on ENGIN-X to measure the elastic behaviour of polycrystalline samples of gypsum, antigorite, and talc as a function of uniaxial load. All three... -
Single Crystal Investigations of Polymorphism and Disorder in CH3NH3PbI3
Photovoltaics are one of the most promising technologies for meeting future energy requirements. CH3NH3PbI3 was first used in a solar cell in 2009, which gave an efficiency of... -
Towards an improved understanding of the active phase of iron based Fischer-T...
The applicants have recently completed a series of INS studies on a model iron Fischer-Tropsch catalyst. That work established that different sample pre-treatments could... -
INS Evaluations of the Interactions of Mustard Gas Mimetics and Decomposition...
The decontamination of chemical weapons is a subject of intense political and scientific scrutiny. Copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles (NP) have proven efficiency in the safe... -
The topotactic reduction and anion exchange of complex oxy-halides
The reaction of LiH with the oxy-chloride Sr3Fe2O5Cl2 initially leads to the topotactic deintercalation of oxide ions and the formation of Sr3Fe2O4Cl2 containing sheets of... -
Non fullerene organic photovoltics
Organic solar cells (OPVs) are photovoltaic devices that can convert the energy from sunlight into electricity and have attracted much attention as a viable green energy source... -
Oxidative stress and lipid membrane disruption in bilayers containing polyuns...
Oxidation of lipid membranes is widely known to play a crucial role in many cellular processes and pathological conditions such as apoptosis, inflammation, infection, or sepsis,... -
In-situ studies of alkaline earth nitride deuterides
Heavy alkaline earth nitride hydrides (AE2NH, with AE = Ca and Ba) are of interest due to their potential suitability as electrolyte materials in a variety of electrochemical... -
Microdomains in model membranes using contrast variation SANS
In the present proposal small angle neutron scattering will be used in combination with contrast variation as a non-invasive method to detect the presence and size formation of... -
In-situ High Temperature Studies of BiFeO3 in a Stabilising Oxygen Atmosphere
The drive to find novel materials for applications such as data storage has led to a resurgence in research into multiferroic materials. Bismuth ferrite is the most widely... -
Magnetic ordering in new multi-anion solids: Sr2Fe3Se2O3 and Sr2Cr3As2O2
We have identified new multi-anion solids with transition metals in unusual coordination environments and with apparently complex magnetic ordering. This experiment proposed for...
