Magnetic skyrmions are topologically protected spin structures with potential uses in low power devices. Cu2OSeO3 is a cubic material containing both skyrmions and other spin...

Justification: We'd like to apply for three days Director’s Discretionary time on WISH to continue the experiment on measures of quantum entanglement in a model 1D magnet. This...

Ammonia is seen as a key part of the transition to a sustainable energy economy, but needs decomposition catalysts to release its stored hydrogen. Lithium nitride-hydride...

Thermoelectric devices are capable of converting thermal energy directly into electrical energy. Large-scale applications of the technology requires materials that are composed...

We have recently discovered a new family of geometric frustrated magnets starting from the parent system, RbFe2F6, with crystallizes in the defect or β-pyrochlore structure...

Offshore structures such as wind turbines and oil rigs generally comprise steel structures—essentially ferritic iron—and are extremely prone to corrosion, a problem that causes...

Thermoelectric devices are capable of converting thermal energy directly into electrical energy. The efficiency of a device is related to the characteristics of the materials of...

With fantastic flux gains over its liquid conterpart, a solid methane moderator is essential to the newly built Second Target Station at ISIS. Unfortunately, it is notoriously...

This experiment aims at studying the magnetic behaviour of the molecular square complex {[Fe{B(pz)_4}(CN)_3]_2[Co(bik)_2]_2}(ClO_4)_2 . 3H_2O [B(pz)_4 = tetrapyrazolylborate,...

We request 5 days on NIMROD to characterise the pressure and temperature dependent properties of amorphous icy particles generated in liquid ethane, as they will be used in...

We wish to understand how the concentration of surfactant mixtures in solution affects adsorption at lower temperatures; in particular, we wish to see how the composition of the...

It has been postulated that 'Frustrated Lewis Pairs' react after associating in an encounter complex held by dispersion forces, and that is it is this complex that interacts,...

NaTiO2 has been predicted to have a variety of unusual magnetic states, depending sensitively on the details of the crystal structure and interaction strength between the...

Dissolved molecular oxygen in solution depolarizes muonium because ground-state molecular oxygen has triplet electrons and is paramagnetic. People normally remove them from...

Specific-ion (Hofmeister effects) are ubiquitous whenever ions are dissolved in solution and are important in many research fields from chemistry, to biology and in materials...

Metal-organic magnets are of interest primarily due to the synthetic versatility enabled by the vast array of organic complexes which can be used to coordinate magnetic ions and...

Ce3Co4Sn13 is a cubic heavy Fermion system which resides close to a magnetic instability.Under ambient conditions Ce3Co4Sn13 exhibits an extremely large (4 J/mol Ce K2) peak in...

Active pharmaceutical ingredient (APIs) are frequently delivered to the patient in the solid-state as part of an approved dosage form (e.g., tablets, capsules, etc.). Drug...

The development of high energy density and high efficiency hydrogen storage materials is widely considered to be one of the most challenging barriers to the adoption of fuel...

This proposal seeks to gain an understanding of the adsorption and desorption behaviour of a redox membrane protein, cytochrome c, in electrochemical cells using different anode...
