Magnetic excitation of Ca2RuO4 in pressure induced ferromagnetic phase
Recently, a novel type of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of spin-orbit excitons has been proposed in Mott insulator Ca2RuO4. In the recent INS study, we have observed... -
Polymorphism of phenytoin at low temperature
Phenytoin is a simple organic pharmaceutical material that exhibits a phase transition at low temperature to a new phase. The high temperature form exhibits some unusual... -
Oxidative stress and lipid membrane disruption in bilayers containing polyuns...
Oxidation of lipid membranes is widely known to play a crucial role in many cellular processes and pathological conditions such as apoptosis, inflammation, infection, or sepsis,... -
Further analysis of Indo-Persian sword blades from the Wallace Collection
Our long-term aim is a detailed study of the Oriental Arms & Armour in the Wallace Collection, London, which contains nearly one thousand items and is one of the most... -
Reduction of Residual Stress in Aluminium Additive Manufacturing by Rolling
After the successful strain measurements at ENGING-X of 3D-printed and cold-rolled Ti-6Al-4V parts, which have shown that this mechanical treatment can eliminate residual stress... -
Recovery and characterisation of high-pressure phases in the systems H2O ¿ NH...
The objective of this experiment is to characterise four particular high-pressure polymorphs of various hydrates discovered by us in recent years during work carried out using... -
Q dependence of the low energy magnetic fluctuations in Intermediate Valence ...
A strong Q-dependence of the magnetic response at characteristic energy of EK~kBTK (TK is a Kondo temperature) has been observed in recent inelastic neutron scattering studies... -
Magnetic ordering in new multi-anion solids: Sr2Fe3Se2O3 and Sr2Cr3As2O2
We have identified new multi-anion solids with transition metals in unusual coordination environments and with apparently complex magnetic ordering. This experiment proposed for... -
Unidentified Phase Transition in Polar Lanthanum Tantalate (LaTaO4)
The family of crystals with formula ABX4 represent a very interesting class of ferroelectrics that are extremely two-dimensional. Fluorides have been extensively researched but... -
Local structure of bulk and nanocrystalline Chromium
We plan to study the coupling between magnetic properties and local structure of polycrystalline and nanocrystalline chromium. Chromium undergoes a magnetic ordering transition... -
Inelastic Neutron Scattering Analysis of hydration layers on SnO2 and CoO Nan...
INS provides an ideal probe to determine the vibrational density of states of water confined on the surface of metal-oxide nanoparticles from which the thermodynamic properties... -
Non-local electrodynamics effect in an ¿extreme¿ low-k superconductor
We intend to perform accurate measurements of the magnetic field profile in the Meissner state of an ¿extreme¿ low-k superconductor (In, k = 0.06, k is the Ginzburg-Landau... -
Investigation of the excitation spectrum in the 1D distorted diamond chain Az...
We propose to investigate the excitation spectrum of azurite in both zero field and applied fields up to 7T. Using inelastic neutrons on OSIRIS we hope to clearly resolve the... -
