Neutron Diffraction study of Highly Frustrated SrEr2O4
We propose to measure the neutron diffraction pattern of a single crystal sample of SrEr2O4, using the WISH diffractometer. As the magnetic Er ions in this compound are linked... -
Probing the spin dynamics in the pseudo-quaternary Y1-xErxNi2B2C compounds
Our uSR measurements on superconducting Y1-xErxNi2B2C shows a slowing of the Er spin dynamics upon cooling to 2.5 K, but the depolarisation rate does not critically diverge and... -
In-situ tension and compression tests in plane strain
This proposal forms part of our larger study into the mechanics of nickel based alloys. In particular we are attempting to correlate the intergranular stress development in... -
Coating dependance of the phonon density of states in LiFePO4 nanoparticles
LiFePO4 (LFP) is a commercially used Li ion battery material for high power applications. Particle shape and surface play an important role in the Li diffusion and thus the...
