Ammonium bromide undergoes a pressure-induced order-disorder transition, where the disordered (plastic) phase is thought to consist of a random distribution of ammonium cations...

Thermal, magnetic, neutron and muSR measurements all point towards a gapless or almost gapless spin liquid ground state for the triangular lattice spin system of S=1/2 Mo3...

NdMnO3 exhibits A-type antiferromagnetism with TN =73 K. At 15 K, Nd sublattice orders with a (0, -Fy, 0) type ferromagnetic arrangement. Mn spin reorientation from (Ax, Fy, 0)...

Human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) is an integral membrane protein found in mitochondria involved in the biosynthesis of pyrimidines. DHODH oxidizes dihydroorotate with...

Studying bosonic analogues of fermions in topological electron systems is one of the hottest areas. They are featured by linear band crossing points at finite energy in the...

In this proposal we request 3 days of beam time on HRPD to study the structures (both atomic and magnetic) of a variety of oxychalcogenide phases: La2O2Se2Fe2O, Ce2O2Se2Mn and...

Extreme muon quantum effects will be studied in the simple organic molecule acetone in deuterated and undeuterated forms using ALC spectroscopy to determine the quantum averaged...

Ionic conductivity is a property where a material is able to conduct electricity through the movement of ions. Oxide ion conductors can be used in solid oxide fuel cells, which...

We wish to investigate the magnetic structure of a series of magnetic multilayers using a new technique we have successfully implemented called Spin Echo Modulated Small Angle...

Zwitterionics (here, alkyldimethylammonium carboxybetaines) are widely used in applications which require "mildness", e g cosmetics and isolation of membrane proteins, although...

We propose to use a pulsed magnet system tried and tested at several neutron and synchrotron facilities in conjunction with the new high flux diffractometer WISH to perform the...

Materials with helical and double helical structure motifs are prone to display fascinating spring-type behaviour, i.e. a shallow energy surface along the spring-axis in which...

Although microemulsions have been widely investigated as potential drug delivery vehicles, relatively little work has been performed establishing the detailed molecular...

Pyrolysis is considered as a sustainable way to generate energy from bio-oil, however, biochar – a solid residue by-product– is inevitably produced in the production line. We...

Bismuth niobate (BiNbO4) is widely used in multilayer RF and microwave components such as capacitors and chip layer capacitors. This compound exhibits two main structural forms...

Rare-earth tri-tellurides (RETe3, RE = Sc, Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm) are materials with 2D electronic character and have a charge-density wave (CDW) phase...

Doxil® is a marketed liposomal formulation containing the anticancer drug doxorubicin. Recently, SAXS measurements have evidenced a crystalline fibrillar structure for the...

We will study the temperature dependence of carbon nanotubes in solutions using small angle neutron scattering, to investigate in particular the rebundling when the free energy...

The family of hybrid Prussian blue analogues includes many electroactive materials, where organic cations moving within the pores of the cyanide framework cause unusual and...

The quality of ancient silver coinage is often seen as a comment on the fiscal health of the issuing states. This is nowhere more apparent than with Roman coinages, which...
