This proposal is concerned with determining variations in the high pressure crystallographic and magnetic structure of LaFeO3. LaFeO3 is a characteristic example of...

We will use the high resolution of HRPD and the excellent long d-spacing data available on OSIRIS to investigate the phase transitions in Sr1-xNaxFe2As2 which are associated...

Although the surface properties and self-organisation of end-functional polymers in amorphous blends are well understood, the influence of crystallinity has received little...

We have established multi-end functional polymers as potent additives for spontaneous surface modification of blends. Since semi-crystalline polymers such as PE, PP, PET could...

Polymers, end-functionalised with carboxylic acid (COOH) groups do not normally segregate to film surfaces due to the high surface energy of these functionalities. However, we...

The lubrication of surfaces by oils is a key aspect of many academic and industrial problems with significant financial implications. We would like to study, for the first time...

The interface of CaCO3 (calcite) and water is of paramount importance in a number of key academic and industrial areas, including scale deposition in domestic and industrial...

We have obtained the monolayer structure diffraction patterns from several iodoalkanes adsorbed on graphite, of interest in the study of non-covalent bonding. However, it is...

The The recent discovery of superconductivity in FeAs-containing compounds (often known as the pnictides has provided a great stimulus to experiment and theory in the study of...

The recent discovery of superconductivity in a series of iron pnictide materials has led to the anticipation that they might lead to new insights into the origins of...

This experiment seeks to characterise the monolayer composition and structure of binary mixtures of fatty acid and amine. This represents a key additive system used commercially...

The discovery of superconductivity in iron-pnictide materials has generated much excitement in the past year about possibly unifying mechanisms for high-temperature...

The properties of pnictide superconductors can be controlled exquisitely by chemical doping. We have identified some key systems in which to explore this effect which should...

The interface of CaCO3 (calcite) and water is of paramount importance in a number of key academic and industrial areas, including scale deposition in domestic and industrial...

This proposal aims to provide essential surfactant micellisation structural information of significant interest in its own right but also as key information for our on-going...

Following a recently succesfull measurement of the structure of a monolayer of n-butane adsorbed on MgO we wish to perform neutron diffraction measurements of monolayers of...

The iron-based superconductor LiFeAs exhibits a number of unique features distinguishing it from other materials in its class. As yet, these differences are unexplained. This...

We will examine the magnetic and superconducting properties of these two novel superconducting systems using muon spin rotation and relaxation experiments. Stoichiometric LiFeAs...

Magnetism and superconductivity compete and coexist in many of the high temperature superconductors, and the newly discovered iron arsenides are no exception. Muon-spin rotation...

This experiment follows our ambient pressure characterisation of the Li intercalate of FeSe which is a superconductor with a Tc of 43 K. Li atoms, amide ions and ammonia...
