Magnetic skyrmions are topologically protected spin structures with potential uses in low power devices. Cu2OSeO3 is a cubic material containing both skyrmions and other spin...

Materials with large caloric effects offer the opportunity to replace current refrigeration technologies that require the compression of hazardous gases. Barocaloric materials...

fac-tris[2-phenylpyridinato-C2,N]iridium(III) (tris-(2-phenylpyridine) iridium, [Ir(ppy)3]), is a heavy metal complex that is the most frequently used precursor molecule for the...

The dipeptides are a class of organic molecules that form hexagonal crystalline structures (space group P61) with one-dimensional chiral channels of tunable pore diameters in...

The A2B¿B¿¿O6 double perovskites consist of an ordered rocksalt arrangement of the B site ions and exhibit a range of different electronic and magnetic properties. Materials...

A process known as ‘molecular surgery’ enables the synthesis of the fullerene C60 enclosing a small molecule such as H2, H2O, HF and CH4. The caged molecules in these ‘molecular...

With the discovery of almost 3000 exo-planets it is clear that planet formation is a by-product of star formation, yet in the micron ? cm size range, where relative velocities...

This proposal forms part of an exploratory study of new mixed anion coordination compounds. We have prepared a family of oxalate-fluorides, which are anticipated to have...

We propose to investigate the spin dynamics in the frustrated antiferromagnet beta-CaCr2O4. Its structure consist in one dimensional chains of Cr+3 forming the legs of zig-zag...

We have obtained the monolayer structure diffraction patterns from several iodoalkanes adsorbed on graphite, of interest in the study of non-covalent bonding. However, it is...

The mixed-valence sesquioxides A4O6 (A = alkali metal) are particularly intriguing magneticmaterials comprising of non-magnetic (O2)2- and magnetic (O2)- anions. Recent...

We have recently succeeded in measuring the excitation spectrum of charge doped cuprate chains with a 90 degree Cu-O-Cu bonding geometry. This study resolved a long standing...

High sorption capacities and enhanced interaction strengths are the two most fundamental prerequisites for the deployment of carbon-based materials as hydrogen-storage media. In...

Alkali metals are well-known to form regularly-layered graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) which exhibit a number of novel and practically important structural and...

Amorphous molecular magnetic materials Ni2(OA) (OA:organic acceptor) were reported to exhibit ferromagnetism with Curie temperatures >400K. This work is controversial as it...

This experiment seeks to characterise the monolayer composition and structure of binary mixtures of fatty acid and amine. This represents a key additive system used commercially...

Modulation occurs when there is ordering on two (or more) length scales. When the ratio of these is an integer, the modulation is said to be commensurate, i.e. one ordering is...

We investigated the influence of sulfur on a well-known methanation catalyst, nickel on alumina/silica, so as to gain more information about sulfur poisoning. By different...

The search for a light, high-capacity hydrogen store continues. Ammonia borane (AB) is a complex hydride with excellent hydrogen capacity, of which half desorbs at moderate...

The mobility of beta-blocker and angina/hypertension drug atenolol in zeolites FAU and BEA will be probed using QENS to understand the importance of fundamental...
