Magnetic Fluctuations in BaCo2As2
ACo2As2 (A=Ba, Sr, Ca) are end members of Co doped Ba-122 family. Understanding the magnetic behavior of these end members can help us to understand the magnetic properties of... -
Composition dependent structure in mixtures of water and hydrogen bonded mono...
This is part of a project concerning the interplay between water and other H-bonded liquids using a range of complementary experimental techniques, e.g. dielectric spectroscopy,... -
Spin wave investigation in brownmillerite oxygen deficient perovskite Ca2Fe2O5
The Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction is thought to be responsible for the stabilization of weak ferromagnetism or magnetic spiral states in a number of diverse systems. An... -
Single-Crystal Neutron Diffraction Study on [U(C5Me5)2(H)(mu¿H)]2
To our knowledge, the length of the U¿H single bond has never been accurately measured, at least not in a molecular compound by single-crystal neutron diffraction. We currently... -
Effect of temperature on the structure of model wax films as studied by neutr...
Cuticular wax films protect plants by mediating water and nutrient transport from the environment. Surfactant is a key ingredient in agrisprays that can promote the uptake of... -
INS studies of Nafion and model compounds
In the archetypal hydrogenoxygen proton exchange membrane fuel cell design, a proton-conducting polymer membrane (typically Nafion) contains the electrolyte solution that... -
Neutron spectroscopy study of the C-H vibrational modes in defective graphene
We have conducted an extended study of hydrogenated defective graphene, synthesized by chemical routes (hydrogenated thermal exfoliated graphite oxide or H-TEGO), including... -
Interlayer coupling in YIG/NiO/Pt trilayers
The spin Seebeck effect is able to convert a temperature gradient into a spin current. Many potential applications exist for the field of spintronics, which use these spin... -
Copy of: IINS Study of the Molecular Properties of Hydrogen Peroxide/Water Mi...
Hydrogen Peroxide is one of the cleanest, most versatile strategic base chemicals available. It is used at the large scale as oxidising agent in the chemical industry, as a... -
High-pressure structure of magnetite nanoparticles
One way in which nanoparticles may differ from bulk properties are in terms of their response to pressure, but at the present time there have been very few structural studies of... -
An INS study of amorphous and crystalline nitric acid: observing the phase ch...
Nitric acid plays important roles in the atmosphere, in all aggregate states and combined with water.During the last periode we were running the proposal RB1110207 "Metastable... -
Solving the magnetic structure of ruthenium based 2H-perovskites
The variant of the Hexagonal perovskite oxides are characterised by chains of trigonal prisms and octahedra, leading to a number of fascinating properties. Using resonant x-ray... -
Protein Adsorption at the PDMS Oil/Water Interface
Neutron reflection has been successfully used to measure the conformation of proteins adsorbed at the oil/water interface. However, in several such experiments, hexadecane has... -
Commissioning of a new continuously-loaded high-pressure piston-cylinder cell
We request two days on Engin-X to carry out commissioning tests on a pair of new piston-cylinder cells and their associated hydraulic press. Although intended primarily for use... -
Photoinduced carrier lifetime in silicon: E-field application for carrier sep...
This continuing experiment is proposed based on our previous experiment RB1510208, which we have carried out just recently. The experiment successfully observed the lifetime of... -
The chemisorption of hydrogen on cobalt
Cobalt based catalysts are widely used within industry for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) in the production of sulphur free diesel. Despite the wide application of cobalt... -
Study of the vibrational properties of homologous bioprotectant disaccharides...
The innovative research field on glass forming systems having bioprotective action has been originated from a growing demand from many biotechnological industrial research... -
Anomalous spin diffusion in 2D percolating magnet
This proposal is to observe single-spin diffusive motion on a two-dimensional (2D) percolating network having a fractal geometry. The random walker¿s travel times on a...
