Abnormally enhanced diamagnetism of Al-Zn-Mg alloys
We measured temperature and time dependences of magnetization of Al-1.0%Zn-4.2%Mg (ZM14), Al-2.6%Zn-3.2%Mg (ZM33), and Al-4.1%Zn-1.1%Mg (ZM41) (at.%) alloys after various... -
Novel Alginate Adsorption onto High Surface Energy Crystal Faces of Calcite
In this novel proposal we will investigate adsorption onto the non-equilibrium face of calcite the first time this has been attempted. This will compliment and extend our... -
Exploration of Magnetic Excitations at High Energy Transfers in Superconducti...
We propose to study two single crystals with nominal compositions Fe1.07Te and Fe1.18Te using the MAPS spectrometer. The amount of interstitial Fe controls the material¿s... -
High resolution neutron diffraction study to investigate quadrupolar ordering...
Recently we have investigated magnetic and quadrupolar ordered states of YbRu2Ge2 using zero-field muon spin relaxation (µSR), neutron diffraction and inelastic neutron... -
The dynamics of the calcium-ammonia-graphite decomposition with hydrogen
Graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) have potential as hydrogen storage materials, from direct physisorption of H2 or as a high surface area nanostructured host for metal... -
Search for high pressure phase transitions in Bi0.8Ln0.2FeO3 (Ln = La and Tb)
The crystal and magnetic structures of two substituted variants of the multiferroic phase BiFeO3 will be studied as a function of pressure. Both Bi0.8La0.2FeO3 and... -
High pressure studies of the gillespite-structured phase Ba0.5Sr0.5CuSi4O10
We propose to study the pressure-dependence of the crystal structure of the alkaline earth copper phyllo-decaoxotetrasilicate Ba0.5Sr0.5CuSi4O10 to compliment our earlier... -

Studying the helimagnetic order and precursor phenomena in MnSi under pressure
The archetype chiral system MnSi belongs to the family of non-centrosymmetric cubic helimagnets where a helimagnetic ordering exists below the critical temperature of 29 K. This... -
Lipid dynamics in yeast cell membranes effect of ergosterol and its precursors
A cell membrane can contain hundreds of different lipid molecules, but our understanding of the dynamics of cell membranes is very limited. As a result of a collaboration... -
Interaction of lamellar and non-lamellar lipid mesophases with inorganic nano...
The behavior of inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) with biological interfaces is a key research topic, to boost Nanomedicine development. In this respect, 2D lipid assemblies are... -
High Longitudinal Field Relaxation in LiYHoF4
We have observed an anomalous monotonically increasing longitudinal field relaxation rate in LiY_(1-x)Ho_xF_4 for applied fields above 1000 G (along the c-axis) and at a... -
Can INS measurements access hydrocarbonaceous overlayers on heterogeneous hyd...
This application seeks to discover whether the catalyst handling protocols refined for INS measurements of a variety of heterogeneous catalytic systems can be further exploited... -
Direct Observation of Gram Negative Bacterial Membrane Disruption by Supramol...
Cyclic peptides with alternating side chain stereochemistry are capable of self-assembling into long nanotubes. The conjugation of polymers to these peptides renders the... -
Understanding the "post-perovskite" structure (I): the Behaviour of CaPtO3 at...
Recently, our view of the Earth¿s lower mantle changed dramatically. It had been thought that two major phases were present throughout all of the lower mantle:... -
High Energy Magnetic Excitations in Fe(Se,Te)
In our recent experiments on MERLIN we have established that the spin excitations in Fe(Se,Te) emanating from incommensurate positions near (0.5 0.5 0) extends at least to 250... -
Investigation into the Effect of Heating Rates on Recrystallisation Mechanism...
Electrical steels (ES) used in motors and transformers. The major challenge is to optimise the magnetic property of ES to reduce energy waste during service. The... -
High resolution structures of the simple halogen bonded complexes.
We propose a high-resolution powder neutron diffraction study of the archetypal donor-acceptor complexes (CD3)3N...I2; (CD3)3N...ICl; C5D5N¿ICl; and C5D5N¿IBr. These are the... -
Hydrogen Insertion into Zirconium- and Vanadium-Substituted Substoichiometric...
Despite the insight provided by the ab initio approach, there still remain some important questions concerning the hydrogen insertion in new hydrogen storage systems,... -
High Energy Spin Fluctuations in BaFe1.9Ni0.1As2
There has been much research into the recently discovered iron based superconductors, but so far only the magnetic excitations at low energy have been investigated. We propose...
