The aims of this proposal are to explore the high-pressure, high-temperature behaviour of two insensitive energetic materials - Nitroguanidine (NQ) and N-guanylurea-dinitramide... -
Copy of: Field driven quantum phase transition in a Kitaev honeycomb magnet
The experimental realization of a Kitaev model on the honeycomb lattice has been a major topic in a condensed matter physics, because the model uniquely provides exactly... -
Quenched salt hydrates new ways of probing water clusters.
Very rapid quenching of liquids to form a glass, from which crystalline phases are subsequently obtained by devitrification, is a powerful technique for obtaining novel... -
VC-precipitation kinetics of C-Mn-V and C-Mn-V-Mo steels in austenite and fer...
Nano-steels are a new generation of Advanced High Strength Steels, extremely suitable for lightweight automotive applications. The ferrite phase, which provides ductility and... -
Characterisation of the gamma prime precipitate distribution in an advanced N...
The excellent high temperature properties of Ni-base superalloys are derived from the presence of fine precipitates of the intermetallic Ni3Al phase, termed gamma prime. The... -
Carrier recombination lifetime spectroscopy with photo-MuSR: Measuring bulk a...
Having established the carrier lifetime spectroscopy in intrinsic Si with the photo-MuSR method in our previous beam times, we recently found its sensitivity for both bulk and... -
Cation substitution in synthetic meridianiite (MgSO4.11D2O): phase behaviour ...
MgSO4.11H2O (MS11) is the most highly hydrated phase in the binary MgSO4¿H2O system. Whilst lower hydrates in this system have end-member analogues containing alternative... -

Multiscale studies of crystallisation in synthetic polymers
We will exploit the unique capability of NIMROD to bring new understanding to the way in which long chain polymers crystallise. There are three key length scales: the first... -
Thermal expansion of kyanite, andalusite and sillimanite
Al2SiO5 forms three naturally-occurring polymorphs, kyanite, andalusite and sillimanite. These minerals are produced by varying degrees of metamorphism of sedimentary rocks, the... -
Singlet fission materials as active quantum dot ligands for photon multipliers
Our research aims to develop plastic films that change the colour of the light that passes through them, not by absorbing certain wavelengths of light, as a simple colour filter... -
