Short range magnetic correlations in Gd3Ga5O12
In recent years topologically complex materials have provoked questions about the basic models of magnetism. These materials have given rise to unusual phenomena, including... -
Evolution of the magnetic order in Yb(Rh(1-x)Cox)2Si2
In this proposal we want to clarify the magnetic structure on Yb(Rh(1-x)Cox)2Si2 by means of single neutron diffraction on SXD. In previous experiments we identified the... -
Proton migration in chromic materials as seen by in-situ simultaneous Neutron...
As part of a facility project aimed at developing a new sample environment allowing simultaneous in-situ neutron diffraction and Raman spectroscopy, we propose to study the... -
Divacancy superstructures and enhanced thermopower in NaxCayCoO2
Replacing Na ions in NaxCoO2 with divalent Ca ions results in the formation of ordered arrays of divacancy clusters, rather than the trivacancy clusters found for the pure... -
Magnetic order of multiferroic candidate: the frustrated honeycomb antiferrom...
Magnetic materials with strong spin-orbit interactions are drawing strong attention as candidates to show unusual magnetism such as quantum spin liquid stabilised by highly... -
Defects and monopole dynamics in spin ice
We have determined the defect structure of oxygen-depleted Y2Ti2O7 using diffuse neutron scattering, and we find that these oxygen vacancies are also the dominant defects in... -
Determining the magnetic moments of Co and Mn ions in the Ca3CoMnO6 unique mu...
Ca3Co1.05Mn0.95O6 is a rather unique multiferroic being the only known system with displaying collinear magnetic order that breaks inversion symmetry. To date it was not... -

[Rh(PiBu3)2(H3BNMe3)]BArF4 is a rare example of a structurally characterised model compound for the sigma-complex intermediate in the transition metal catalysed amine-borane... -
High temperature superstructures in thermoelectric oxides
Sodium cobalate has emerged as one of the best thermoelectric materials. Our previous neutron Laue diffraction studies on SXD have found ordered arrays of multivacancy clusters,... -
Investigation of the nuclear and magnetic structures of GaV4S8-ySey materials
Skyrmions, nano-sized topological objects, have recently been found in GaV4S8 and GaV4Se8 materials. In the search of new Skyrmion hosting materials, we have synthesised the... -
Chemical effect on elastic properties in hexa-alogenated-benzenes
Benzene is the parent compound of organic solids based on C-H...pi interactions that have been used in organic field effect transistors. Any change in the C-H...pi interactions... -
Investigation of the low temperature magnetic order in azurite.
Both a natural mineral and quantum magnet, azurite is a candidate model of the so-called Distorted Diamond Chain system. Such a system should theoretically exhibit spin-1/3... -
Magnetism and structural diffuse scattering in α-CoV3O8:
We propose to measure the magnetic structure and diffuse scattering in a Vanadium Bronze material α-CoV3O8. These materials are of interest due to possible applications for... -
Pressure Effects on Proton Migration 3,5-pyridinedicarboxylic Acid
Hydrogen bonds are ubiquitous in materials across the chemical spectrum, from inorganic to biological. They influence the structure, the functionality, and therefore the... -
Anomalous magnetism in oxygen-deficient scandium-doped spin ice
Our previous diffuse neutron scattering experiment on SXD showed that oxygen vacancies are the dominant defects in spin ice. The substitution of tetravalent titanium by... -
Understanding enhanced thermoelectric properties of sodium cobaltate doped by...
The thermoelectric power factor for (Na1-y¿My¿)0.8CoO2 is dramatically increased when M = Sr, but it is essentally unchanged from the pure compound when M = Ca. Our previous SXD... -
The effect of H/D isotopic replacement on the topology of the electron densit...
The Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules (QTAIM) is the quantum mechanical way of looking at molecular structures and bonding. Developed by Richard Bader, QTAIM is built on... -
Charge disproportionation and structural modulation in multiferroic CaMn7O12
Multiferroic materials in which strongly coupled magnetic and ferroelectric order parameters coexist attract considerable interest. Below 90 K, CaMn7O12 possesses the largest...
