Investigation of Multiple-q states around the Quantum Critical Point of URu2S...
URu2Si2 has been examined intensively over the decades for the rich phase diagram including superconductivity, Hidden Order and multiple magnetic phases appearing around the... -
Crystal field and spin-wave excitations in the quasi-2D honeycomb zigzag anti...
The microscopic origin of the zigzag magnetic ground state in a honeycomb lattice of the quasi-2D antiferromagnet Na2Co2TeO6 is debatable. The zigzag phase may occur due to (i)... -
Structure and stoichiometry in new nitride catalysts; anion mobility, chemica...
Our studies focus on the use of Co3Mo3N (331) as a catalyst in ammonia synthesis. During synthesis, N is lost and the compound is transformed to the new nitride Co6Mo6N (661); a... -
Probing Structural Anomalies in LaCoO3 using Neutron Total Scattering
This proposal is concerned with investigating changes in the local structure of LaCoO3 at various temperatures. The arrangement of d-electrons in the transition metal, Co,... -
Ordered structures in the new Topological Insulators
We propose to investigate the structure of the new ¿ordered¿ phases within the Bi2Se3-Bi2Te3 phase diagram of the newly discovered Topological Insulators. The bulk properties of... -
Alkali metal/ammonia intercalates of Bismuth Selenide
We have recently shown that the topical layered compound bismuth selenide which is of interest in the field of thermoelectrics and topological insulators can be intercalated by... -
Structural and Magnetic Properties from Charge Orders in Iron Perovskite Oxides
Highly oxidized transition metal cations in oxides tend to display unusual electronic and magnetic behavior due to the highly covalent nature of the M-O interactions. Iron is of... -

Structural and Magnetic Characterisation of New Polar Oxides with Weak Ferrom...
The synthesis of a phase combining electrical polarisation P and spontaneous magnetisation M is hard because of the distinct electronic structure requirements for the main... -
Interlayer and Interparticle Water in Clays
Clay barriers are routinely used in nuclear waste repositories to isolate radionuclides from the biosphere. Such barriers have to be carefully designed to remain effective for... -
Determination of the relative magnitudes of static and dynamic displacements ...
The width of a peak in a pair distribution function (PDF) provides a measure of the variation in the distance between a pair of atoms. This results from a combination of thermal... -
Ferroelectric transitions in potentially multiferroic Mn-formate frameworks
The perovskite-like family of ammonium formate frameworks AB(HCO2)3, where A is a divalent metal ion and B is an (alkyl)ammonium or guanadinium, is of great interest for its... -
Negative thermal expansion in ReO3: anomalous variation with temperature
ReO3 is a well-known oxide framework with unusual thermal expansion behaviour, exhibiting multiple regions of both positive and negative thermal expansion (NTE). We propose to... -
Violation of y-scaling in D2 ¿ Test of existing theories
The applicants aim to perform the most authoritative measurements of NCS profiles by controlling and precisely quantifying everything to do with the sample. In July 2008 we... -
Magnetic properties of quadruple perovskites containing A- and B-site iron ca...
New quadruple perovskites with nominal compositions LnFe4Ti3O12 (Ln = La, Nd) have recently been discovered through high pressure synthesis. Mössbauer spectra show that these... -

Inelastic neutron scattering study of the metallic toroidal system UNi4B
There is considerable interest in understanding the magnetoelectric effect with the aim of developing technological applications. Until recently this has been limited to... -
Structural and Magnetic Properties of New Pb2FeTeOx Phases
Pb2FeMO6 phases are of interest as potential multiferroics. We have prepared a new non-centrosymmetric pyrochlore-derived structure containing anion vacancy ordering... -
Structures of LiFeP and the solid solution LiFeAs1-xPx
In this experiment we will determine the detailed structure of the 6 K superconductor LiFeP and phases close in composition which are iron rich: Li1-xFe1+xP. This will enable... -
The partial dynamical structure factors and vibrational density of states in ...
The object of this proposal is to measure the partial dynamical structure factors and the partial vibrational density of states (VDOS) for the archetypal network forming glass...
