Zircaloy-2 and its almost identical sister alloy Zr-4 are used extensively as fuel cladding, as well as other components in nuclear power reactors where it operates at 250-350C...

The bilayer ruthenate Sr3Ru2O7 is the first material found to have a quantum critical end-point and is believed to display ¿nematic electronic order¿. We have previously studied...

We request 4 days on HRPD with the IGAn apparatus to follow the structural changes of Me-ND4 11BD4 as a function of temperature. The high resolution of HRPD will allow us to...

Lapis Lazuli is one of the oldest precious stone, being used for glyptic as early as 7000 years ago. Only few sources of Lapis Lazuli exist in the world due to the low...

Fast segmental dynamics of surfactants in rod-like assemblies and their correlation with microstructure is not very well understood although the structure and macroscopic...

Spin echo small-angle neutron scattering (SESANS) beamtime is requested to study the growth of polymer nanolatices in novel microemulsion systems. The natural incompatibility of...

We propose to investigate the spin dynamics in the Ortho-II order YBCO6.5 superconductor at energies above 100 meV. This study will be aimed at searching for the broadening of...

Previous studies have pointed to a heavy-electron state in CePtSi with a strongly enhanced electronic specific heat. We have explored the heat capacity, susceptibility and...

Tellurite glasses exhibit strong non-linear properties which are related to the asymmetric environment of the Te atom. The non-linear optical effects are strongest when the Te...

The aim of the experiment is investigate some nucleid acids to provide us with information about the size and shape when is dispersed in a solvent, so in a future studies to be...

Noncentrosymmetric superconductors have been identified as good candidates for unconventional superconductivity. In particular there is the possibility of Cooper pairs with...

Our previous HRPD experiment on the Pd-D2 system resolved the long-standing controversy over the occupation of T interstitial sites by D, showing that T sites are occupied owing...

The main objective of the present work is to gain an understanding of the interaction of the cationic protein, cyt c with anionic lipid membranes. This objective will be...

Neutron reflection will be used to investigate the normal composition profile in thin films of blends of electron-donor poly(alkyl thiophene) and the electron-acceptor...

Hydrogen storage is one of the most important technological issues to be resolved in the move towards a future sustainable hydrogen-based economy. We would like to gain further...

More than 6 million tonnes of carbon black per year are produced worldwide. The major part is used as reinforcing filler material in tyres and mechanical rubber goods. For...

Recently we have investigated three new ternary intermetallic compounds PrTSi3 (T = Ir, Rh and Ru) which form in BaNiSn3-type tetragonal structure. The susceptibility exhibits...

During the course of a PhD project funded by CCLRC's CMPC, we have developed a cell that allows electrical transport property measurements to be made simultaneously with the...

The 'non-magnetic' ground state of a Kondo ion is generally believed to consist of the localised spin surrounded by a compensating cloud of conduction electrons coupled...

Pseudogap phenomena, which are associated with the reduction in the density of states at EF, have been intensively investigated in HTSC, as well in heavy fermion systems through...
