Mauritius Royal Alfred Observatory parallel temperature measurements 1884-1903
A suite of parallel meteorological measurements were undertaken over the extended period 1884-1903 at the Royal Alfred Observatory in Mauritius. The data were observed in: a... -
Dirac Nodal Line Magnons in a Stacked Honeycomb Magnet
On the basis of exchange couplings obtained from early inelastic neutron measurements, we conjecture that the stacked honeycomb magnet FeTiO3 contains Dirac nodal lines in the... -
Rosseinsky Programme Access Polaris
To determine the temperature dependence of the structures of new mixed and ionic conducting materials in the n = 2 ruddlesden-popper,mellilite and pyrochlore systems. -
Investigating variation of back stress in 316H during high temperature asymme...
Deformation in polycrystalline material is inhomogeneous. Our previous study using neutron diffraction has shown due to these inhomogeneities, during high temperature cyclic... -
In-situ studies of failure mechanisms of a bistable composite tape-spring und...
A bistable composite tape-spring is a thin-walled, laminated open slit tube, which is stable in both the extended and coiled configurations. For its lightweight and... -
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... -
Neutron diffraction studies on multiferroic NixMn1-xCr2O4 and Ni0.75Cu0.25Cr2O4.
Multiferroic materials (MF), in which ferromagnetism and ferroelectricity coexist, have attracted much attention in recent years. If the coupling between the magnetic and... -
Vibrations of a muoniated radical center and photochemistry in benzophenone
Benzophenone is an ideal material to study vibrations of a muon radical centre with near-IR laser light, as all C=O bonds in solid state are almost parallel to each other and it... -
Determination of muon stopping sites and electronic structures in proteins
In order to explore the electron-transfer process in life science, we have been carrying out muSR studies based upon electron labeling mechanisms on a protein, cytochrome c,... -
Internal stresses in superconducting bulk magnets studied by in situ neutron ...
Bulk high temperature superconductors are useful for permanent magnet applications because they can generate much stronger magnetic fields than ferromagnets and are more compact... -
Towards the development of lithium manganese nitride as novel two stage regen...
In the last decades the production and consumption of reactive nitrogen increased exponentially due to the extensive utilisation of nitrogen containing compounds as fertilizers... -
Investigation of a frustrated quantum magnet with novel interaction scheme
SrCuTe2O6 consists of a 3-dimensional arrangement of spin-1/2 Cu ions that are coupled into network of isolated triangles,a highly frustrated hyperkagome lattice consisting of... -
In-situ study of the deformation mechanisms involved during high temperature ...
The present work proposes to investigate the mechanisms of the hot and the superplastic (SP) deformation behaviour for a two-phase Titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) that presents an... -
High Temperature Micromechanics Ni-based Superalloys: Creep, Stress Relaxatio...
In this study, in-situ high-temperature loading investigations will be performed to characterise the micromechanics of a high strength alloy 720Li, during stress relaxation in... -
Order-Disorder Transitions in Layered Tellurides
We have prepared a new series of layered tellurides Cr2-xInxGe2Te6, containing 2D ordered arrays of (Cr,In) cations and (Ge-Ge) pairs. Recent neutron measurements reveal indium... -
In-Situ Study of Self-Recovery in MAX Phases
MAX phases exhibit a unique combination of the characteristics ofboth ceramics and metals coupled with an unusual combination of mechanical, electrical and thermal properties.... -
DINS scattering in supercritical water
The proposed experiment aims to explore in detail these two effects in a thermodynamic range at ~25 MPa over a temperature range of 280° to 600°C, never investigated before,... -
