Glycerol, a sugar alcohol with three hydroxyl groups, is a rich and complex system for the study of hydrogen bonded fluids and has been the subject of long-standing scientific...

There is considerable interest in understanding the magnetoelectric effect with the aim of developing technological applications. Until recently this has been limited to...

The method of Se isotope substitution with inelastic neutron scattering will be used to measure the partial VDOS for As2Se3 glass. This is a prototypical network forming...

To understand the thermal conductivity suppression within PGEC titanate oxide thermoelectrics we hope to complement theoretical calculations performed on several perovskites...

The aim of the proposed experiment is to measure the changes in crystallographic temperature during beta quenching of Zircalloy 4, an important nuclear fuel cladding material.

Our recent inelastic neutron scattering (INS) study using MARI clearly reveals the presence of a sharp inelastic excitation near 8 meV and 11 meV in CeT2Al10 (T=Ru and Os)...

The application of hydrostatic pressure allows the precise tuning of atomic separations, which control electronic structure and virtually all the interatomic interactions that...

It is well known that water is the medium in which the overwhelming majority of biological processes take place. In cell membranes water molecules are thought to be essential to...

The rotational line of hydrogen is very clearly measured with TOSCA. For the past few years I have noticed that the changes in the position of the rotational line do not follow...

A-site-ordered perovskite oxides with formula AA'3B4O12 have a rich variety of physical and chemical properties. Most have Jahn-Teller active Cu2+ or Mn3+ at the square-planar...

We have recently demonstrated that it is possible to obtain structural information about adsorbed hydrogenous species from a variety of metal catalysts. We emphasise that this...

Thermoelectricity enables the conversion of waste heat into useful power, and it is becoming increasingly important for power recovery applications at high temperature, where...

We aim to utilise Low-Energy Neutron Scattering (LENS) at OSIRIS to investigate the effects of gas adsorption on the quantum rotation of the methyl groups present in a Metal...

The objective of this research is to understand the detailed structure of water-surfactant solutions as a function of concentration. This is important as these materials form...

Nano-steels are a new generation of Advanced High-Strength Steels, which are used in the automotive industry to reduce vehicle weight and thereby improve the fuel economy and/or...

Strong magnets with a high energy product are vital when optimizing the efficiency in the electric industry. This can be achieved by making spring-exchange coupled magnets....

A full-sized section of 304-stainless steel pipe with a non-stress relieved girth-butt weld has been obtained from a Pressurised Water Reactor. This project will accurately map...

Weak nonbonded interactions between a divalent sulfur and an oxygen atom have attracted growing interest because of their roles in determining the structure and the biological...

NaxFe1/2Mn1/2O2 has been identified as a potential cathode material for Na-ion batteries since it has comparable electrochemical performance to commercially available Li-ion...

We propose to investigate the highly one-dimensional (1D) S=1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet (NO)[Cu(NO3)3] which is a potential realization of the Nersesyan-Tsvelik model. The...
