Relaxation dynamics of a Dy-based single molecule magnet
Single-molecule magnets (SMM) exhibiting slow magnetic relaxation have attracted increasing interest, both from a fundamental point of view, and for the potential practical... -
Examining the properties of a water channel in an organic matrix - TOSCA
The objectives are to study the interaction of water molecules held in a channel in an organic matrix. We have structurally characterised a water tetramethylpiperididine complex... -
Spin dynamics in the zig-zag ladder beta-CaCr2O4
We propose to investigate the spin dynamics in the frustrated antiferromagnet beta-CaCr2O4. Its structure consist in one dimensional chains of Cr+3 forming the legs of zig-zag... -
Local structure of deuterated perovskite methylammonium lead iodide CD3ND3PbI3
Methylammonium lead iodide has recently been recognised as an excellent photovoltaic material, with energy conversion efficient of up to 15% with the prospect of gaining higher... -
Which is it? ¿ Neutrons distinguish monolayers xrays can¿t.
We have obtained the monolayer structure diffraction patterns from several iodoalkanes adsorbed on graphite, of interest in the study of non-covalent bonding. However, it is... -
Magnetic Excitations on the Frustrated Triangular Lattice of UAu2
Nature abhors disorder and degeneracy at low temperature. Designing materials that confront this requirement can therefore lead to new states in which the degeneracy is lifted.... -
How Encapsulated is a Sodide? Li+Na--EtNH2 vs Li+e--EtNH2
We have recently begun to look at how large, polarisable alkalides (group 1 metal anions) are solvated in solution. This proposal aims to determine how ethylamine is able to... -
In Situ neutron diffraction of liquid gallium at elevated pressure
Gallium has a low melting point and forms a liquid just above room temperature. The melting curve has a negative slope and when pressure is applied room pressure phases will... -
Unravelling the ageing mechanims of dry seeds: molecular mobility within biol...
Faster-than-expected ageing is observed in some seeds (e.g. orchids, coffee, citrus, willows) stored dry at -20°C, the standard temperatures of seed banks. This ageing has been... -
Molecular and framework dynamics in CH3NH3PbBr3 - a high resolution experimen...
Organic-inorganic perovskites have recently been shown to be potentially efficient and inexpensive photovoltaics. These materials undergo a series of structural transitions and... -
Structural relaxation in LiCl 6D2O
We propose to measure the structural relaxation in this prototype glass former. The structural ralaxation time will be obtained at the structure factor maximum. We suppose that... -
Crystalline electric field excitations in the triangular-lattice rare-earth s...
The rare-earth compound KYbSe2 provides a new chance for the study of frustrated magnets with strong SOC. It resembles YbMgGaO4 in many ways. Our susceptibility and specific... -
Inelastic neutron scattering investigations to study Ru-trimer and molecular ...
The orthorhombic compound Ba4Ru3O10 having Ru3O12 timers coupled via corner-shared oxygens in the crystal structure exhibits very interesting magnetic and transport properties.... -
Magnetic excitations in spin ladders
We wish to measure the magnetic excitations and subgap states in a doped (x=0.06) spin ladder using MERLIN. The purpose of the measurements is to ascertain the relationship... -
Dynamical characterization of a new multicomponent membrane (gCN/PTI mixed wi...
Proton exchange membranes are essential components of devices where is required to transport H+ while blocking the flow of other ions and molecules used as reactants. The most... -

Interlayer Dynamics in Graphite Intercalation Compounds
Alkali metals are well-known to form regularly-layered graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) which exhibit a number of novel and practically important structural and... -
Magnetic structure determinenation in the antiferroelectric - antiferromagnet...
This proposal seeks to explore a multiferroic material new to science, that of the antiferroelectric ¿ antiferromagnetic ceramic Bi0.8Nd0.2FeO3. This new class of material is of... -
Catalytic Hydrodeoxygenation of a Lignin Model Compound - TOSCA
Bio-oil can be obtained from the pyrolysis of biomass and maintains a closed carbon cycle with no net increase in atmospheric CO2 level, making the environment cleaner. However,... -
QENS to study the hydration behavior of two types of Calcium caseinate powder...
Producing meat analogue instead of real meat is one effective way to reduce carbon emissions and improve animal welfare. Calcium caseinate (CaCas) is a prominent candidate for...
