Incommensurate-commensurate phase transitions in K2SeO4
Materials with incommensurate structures often show exotic properties (such as charge density waves). The development of reliable and efficient refinement techniques for such... -
Structure of hot dense liquid carbon dioxide
We propose to study the structure of liquid CO2 by neutron diffraction under high pressure and high temperatures to 6 GPa / 800 K. Carbon dioxide belongs to the most fundamental... -
Vibrational Dynamics of Alkali Silicate Glasses - An Isotopic Mass Contrast S...
The present proposal is part of a larger EPSRC project advancing the vibrational spectroscopy of silicate glasses. The project involves the techniques of IR and Raman... -
Complex evolution of solution microstructure in LAS / nonionic surfactant mix...
This proposal is part of a broad programme of collaborative research between RAL / Oxford and Unilever, using predominantly scattering techniques to investigate the nature of... -
The ground state of a Kondo ion: V dissolved in the noble metal Au.
The 'non-magnetic' ground state of a Kondo ion is generally believed to consist of the localised spin surrounded by a compensating cloud of conduction electrons coupled... -
Crystal structures of methanol mono-ammoniate (CD3OD.ND3) and methanol hemi-a...
Mixtures of methanol with water and ammonia dominate the chemistry of cometary bodies, leftovers of the building blocks of the outer planets. We have previously determined the... -
Evolution of complex surface structures in LAS / nonionic surfactant mixtures
This proposal is part of a broad programme of collaborative research between RAL / Oxford and Unilever, using predominantly scattering techniques to investigate the nature of... -
RF decoupling of the F-mu-F state
NMR has become an extremely sophisticated experimental technique because of the use of pulse sequences which allow the control and manipulation of a nuclear spin system or...
