Probing the mechanism of thermoelectric enhancement in Kondo insulator YbB12 ...
We propose to study the evolution of the spectral features in the dynamical magnetic response in series Yb_{1-x}Tm_{x}B_{12} (x=0.15, 0.6, 0.8). Tm doping results in non-trivial... -
Neutron diffraction and inelastic neutron scattering study on NdT2Al10 (T= Ru...
We have investigated the magnetic structure and crystal field excitations (CEF) of CeT2Al10 (T=Os and Ru). The observed magnetic moment along the c-axis does not agree with that... -
Magnetic excitations in mesoporous hematite
We have recently prepared mesoporous forms of various metals oxides. In some cases the imposition of a mesostructure changes other properties of the material significantly. One... -
Effect of Q on the INS spectrum of coordinated small molecules in frameworks:...
We request 3 days on MARI to investigate the effect of Q on the previously determined partial phonon density of states of a zeolite framework with a low concentration of... -
Melting point dynamics of Confined fluids
This proposal aims to investigate the dynamics of the melting transition in H2O and CO2 when confined in a vycor (SiO2) matrix. The field of fluids in confined geometries is... -
Spin excitations in an alternating quantum spin chain
We propose to measure the magnetic excitations in malachite, a mineral that contains S=1/2 alternating chains with an alternation parameter of J'/J=0.5, just in the middle... -
Crystal Field Splitting in Dysprosium Double Decker Single Molecule Magnets
We aim to elucidate the low-energy electronic structure of two distinct dysprosium bisphthalocyanine single-molecule magnets by direct observation of crystal field excitations... -
Can a magnetic transition recently discovered on iron-based Fischer-Tropsch c...
The applicants have used a recent EPSRC award to develop protocols by which INS can be used to investigate methane reforming catalysts. That work is now complete and we have... -
Neutron scattering studies of hydrogen rotational transitions in Ni-MOF-74
We propose to use MARI to look at the full rotational spectrum of H2 in Ni-MOF-74 obtaining the full momentum distribution for H2 only at the Ni metal site and one with partial... -
STUDY OF HYBRIDIZATION GAP IN THE FILLED SKUTTERUDITE COMPOUND: CeOs4As12
We have recently investigated a hybridization gap in Kondo systems using HET and several papers along with a review have been published. Our study shows a universal scaling... -
INS on a 2D quantum spin liquid candidate material without structural disorder.
The ordered double perovskite Sr2CuWO6 is a quasi-two dimensional J1/J2 frustrated square lattice model antiferromagnet. The divalent Cu carries S = 1/2 while the W (VI) is 4d0.... -
Determination of the crystal-electric field in geometrically frustrated pyroc...
Geometrically frustrated systems such as pyrochlore compounds receive much attention since they display exotic magnetic states. The explanation lies on the large degeneracy of... -
Inelastic neutron scatteing studies of KTCNQ
TCNQ salts have also seen extensive research within magnetic systems where there have been a large number of metal-organic compounds synthesised that show interesting... -
Study of the protein denaturation in glassy matrices
The proposed experiment is addressed to use the MARI spectrometer to study the thermal denaturation process of the psychrophile enzyme alpha-amylase in presence of bioprotectant...
