Hydrogenation of frustrated Lewis pairs in solution
It has been postulated that 'Frustrated Lewis Pairs' react after associating in an encounter complex held by dispersion forces, and that is it is this complex that interacts,... -
Electron polarisation of deep muonium states
Following recent experiments in which the shallow donor muon states in semiconductors are found to have significant electron polarisation at low temperatures and high fields, we... -
Specific ion effects in molecular non-aqueous electrolytes
Specific-ion (Hofmeister effects) are ubiquitous whenever ions are dissolved in solution and are important in many research fields from chemistry, to biology and in materials... -
Copy of: Pressure induced phase switching magnetic ordering in BiFeO3-PbTiO3
This experiment seeks to continue previous work on PEARL, whereby the phase is altered in the room temperature multiferroic BiFeO3 - PbTiO3 using hydrostatic pressure with the... -
Influence of temperature on the ferroelectric-antiferroelectric phase switchi...
The proposed experiment is concerned with the rhombohedral ferroelectric (FE) to orthorhombic antiferroelectric (AFE) phase transformation in PZT (lead zirconate titanate)... -
Hydrogenation of Benzene followed by Total Scattering and in situ 13C NMR
Catalysis is defined as the increase of the rate of the reaction or directing the reaction to one of the thermodynamically permitted pathways that lead to different products. It... -
pressure induced para-antiferromagnetic switching in the multiferroic BiFeO3 ...
We have shown using previous experiments that moderate hydrostatic pressures can be used to switch phase from tetragonal to rhombohedral in the material BiFeO3 - PbTiO3 at room... -
Local magnetism and magnetoeletric effect in TbMn0.98Fe0.02O3 studied by muon SR
TbMn0.98Fe0.02O3 is an interesting multiferroic material, as the partial substitution of the Jahn-Teller active Mn3+ cation by the non-Jahn-Teller active Fe3+ has remarkable... -
Understanding the molecular origin of cononsolvency
The term cononsolvency has been used to describe a situation in which a polymer is less soluble in a mixture of two cosolvents than it is in either one of the pure solvents. If... -
Skyrmions in applied electric fields
One of the most studied skyrmion-hosting materials is the magnetoelectric insulator Cu2OSeO3 which raises the exciting prospect of manipulating the skyrmion-phase through the...
