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...

Amphiphilic linear surfactants based on PEO and PPO triblock copolymers, known as Pluronics, exhibit a rich polymorphism and have been extensively studied for their applications...

In the current work, we study inorganic solid-state electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries. These materials, unlike the traditional liquid electrolytes, could lead to a...

The present proposal leans on the study of the elastoviscoplastic behavior of a polycrystalline Co by neutron diffraction (ENGIN-X) in line with theoretical investigations : 4...

Perovskite oxides exhibit a large array of interesting electronic properties. Owing to their difficult synthesis (requiring extremely high pressures) the MOsO3 Osmates offer a...

Bulk high temperature superconductors are useful for permanent magnet applications because they can generate much stronger magnetic fields than ferromagnets and are more compact...

PFN is a magnetic piezoelectric. The experiment plans to characterize the magnetic order with muons on PFN. We have previously used negative muons on Chronus to show an iron...

In power generation plants, many critical components are subjected to complex tension-compression cyclic loading followed by long-term creep dwells. While uniaxial creep...

We will examine the impact of metal-halide hydrogen bond motifs and their ability to provide low-dimensional superexchange pathways. Specifically, we wish to investigate two new...

Alpha-beta Ti and Zr alloys are an important class of high strength alloys used in aerospace and nuclear power generation. They are unique in that their mechanical properties...

The organic salt guanidinium mesylate [Gdm][CH3SO3] is a promising phase change material for thermal energy storage applications. It has melting point Tm = 208 °C, and...

In previous experiments at ILL we observed a gap in the magnetic excitation spectrum of the stripe-ordered superconductor (La,Nd)2-xSrxCuO4, x=0.12. We observed a spin gap of...

Small gel molecules which can change their properties in response to, for example temperature are important for applications such as drug delivery through the skin. In order to...

We propose to obtain the detailed temperature dependent diffusion characteristics for diamagnetic muonium defect centres, assumed to be a 'bare' muon, in selected members of the...

The synthesis of a phase combining electrical polarisation P and spontaneous magnetisation M is hard because of the distinct electronic structure requirements for the main...

Carbohydrates are one of the major classes of biomolecules that make up most of the organic matter on earth and serve as energy stores, fuels and metabolitic intermediates. They...

The characteristics of metal alloys have always been considered crucial for the sound quality of organ pipes. Tin-rich materials were studied for conservation issues, like the...

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...

Earlier experiment at ISIS have shown that water responds to the distortion of the hydrogen bond network by delocalizing some of the protons in the vicinity of the defects. That...

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...
