This proposal is part of an ongoing project to relate the magnetic excitations to other electronic properties of the cuprate superconductors. We have recently proposed that the...

Whilst rechargeable batteries continue to take over the consumer electronics market, they are unsuitable to replace specific battery technologies, such as the thermal battery,...

Materials adopting the apatite structure are gaining an increasing importance as potential solid-oxide fuel cell electrolytes and for the chemical stabilisation of high level...

In the current description of any molecular system based on the Schrodinger equation with a Hamiltonian accounting only for the electromagnetic forces, the structural properties...

The Japanese section of the Stibbert Museum, in Firenze, is one of the most important in the world, excluding Japan for obvious reasons. Here many different artifacts are...

MgSO4.11H2O (MS11) is the most highly hydrated phase in the binary MgSO4¿H2O system. Whilst lower hydrates in this system have end-member analogues containing alternative...

The recently discovered 6H-perovskite Ba3PrRu2O9 is comprised of the triangular layers formed by Pr4+ ions and the Ru2O9 dimer units located between the triangular layers. Three...

Magnetic frustration is a hot topic in solid state physics, mainly due to the topological new phases of matter that frustration mechanisms can drive (vide Physics Nobel Prize...

In high-voltage electronics, heat dissipation is a major challenge. Ideally the materials in these devices will have a high thermal conductivity; a property determined by...

The orthorhombic compound Ba4Ru3O10 having Ru3O12 timers coupled via corner-shared oxygens in the crystal structure exhibits very interesting magnetic and transport properties....

Ba2CuTeO6 has garnered considerable interest as the combination of stacking sequence and Cu2+ displacements lead to a magnetic geometry that reproduce the effects of a spin...

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...

We wish to measure the magnetic excitations and subgap states in a doped (x=0.06) spin ladder using MERLIN. The purpose of the measurements is to ascertain the relationship...

BiFeO3 is by far the most widely studied multiferroic material and yet many mysteries remain in the phase diagram. One mystery is the crystal structure of the high T gamma...

Crystals of the filled skutterudite PrFe4Sb12 with the 73~87% Pr-site filling fractions prepared under ambient pressure show some magnetic ordering around 5 K and their...

In recent years there has been a resurgence in research dedicated to ferroelectric materials primarily due to the combination of the requirement for Pb-free replacements for...

This proposal is about understanding the atomic-scale structure of complex oxides that contain water or protons and that are used as electrocatalyts for water splitting. Such...

Modulation occurs when there is ordering on two (or more) length scales. When the ratio of these is an integer, the modulation is said to be commensurate, i.e. one ordering is...

Carbonized biowaste presents a promising route to producing energy materials in a low carbon or even carbon negative way, given that the precursor material (i.e. plant material)...

Iron-based superconductors (FeSCs) have been an essential research area in condensed matter physics. Spins of iron sites forming a long periodic configuration, called the...
