This is a continuation negative-muon spin rotation and relaxation (mu-SR) experiment on MgB2 having a superconducting transition at 39 K. Since positive muons start to diffuse...

Vesignieite, Cu3VBa2O8(OH)2, is one of very few materials approximating a kagome spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet, a model that is the ideal setting for novel quantum spin...

Giant magnetoresistance (GMR) is observed up to -49% in RuSr2R1.8-xY0.2CexCu2O10-d ruthenocuprates. The magnetotransport is very sensitive to lattice effects. As , the mean A...

Fulleride superconductivity is experiencing a renaissance of interest following our recent discovery of superconductivity proximate to an antiferromagnetic Mott insulating state...

Recent research in to Carbon Nanotubes filled with magnetic materials has produced some interesting results that have the potential to bring about new computing technology. In...

Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) with defective structure has shown interesting magnetic properties in the frame of room temperature ferromagnetism. The origin of the magnetic...

While investigating the ordering and magnetic dynamics in La2-xSrxCoO4 we found some intriguing behaviour for samples with small x, which would imply that the phase diagram is...

The proposing team has recently obtained important neutron scattering results on samples of different kind of ice containing molecular hydrogen (sII and sH hydrogen-filled...

This proposal aims to characterise the spin dynamics of three Pr-based pyrochlores that may be realisations of quantum spin ice materials. The lower moment and larger wave...

The aim of the experiment is to study, in low magnetic fields, the very slow spin fluctuation (MHz range) present in the normal phase of La0.8Y0.2LaFe1-xMnxAsO0.89F0.11...

We have a programme investigating the structure and function of protein scaffolds oriented on gold surfaces using sulfur chemistry for attachment. The aim is to direct the...

Recently we have investigated Pr2Pd3Ge5 and Pr2Rh3Ge5 compounds which form in the orthorhombic structure. Pr2Pd3Ge5 exhibits two magnetic transitions at TN1 = 7.5 K and TN2 =...

Properties of graphene that make it an important material are its exceptionally high conductivity, massless fermions and a high velocity of electrons near the Dirac points....

Here we propose the investigation of intermediate compounds obtained during the decomposition of the multicomponent hydrogen storage system 2 LiBH4 : MgH2 using ex-situ...

Comparison of the low frequency vibrational profile of deep eutectic solvents based on urea and tetraalkylammonium cations with varying degrees of symmetry. Architectural...

This proposal is part of our research programme to explore novel phases in correlated electron systems with strong spin-orbit interaction. Here we aim to probe the spin dynamics...

U2Pt2Sn crystallizes in the tetragonal Zr3Al2-type structure (P42/mnm, Z = 4), where uranium atoms occupy two different sites. Our measurements of bulk properties have shown...

Metal oxides(MO) are widely used in technological applications especially for catalysts and supports for catalysts. We propose to use the inelastic response of H2 adsorbed on...

Most optimally-doped high- Tc cuprate superconductors show a magnetic excitation (known as the 'resonance') at q=(pi,pi ) whose intensity increases sharply below Tc. This...

This proposal is to explore the magnetic properties and molecular dynamics of a new class of magnetic ionic liquid surfactants1 (MILSs) (see Fig. 1). The MILSs investigated here...
