The proposing team is interested in exploring the rotational and translational dynamics of molecular hydrogen trapped in water-based cages (clathrate hydrates). These systems...

This proposal is part of our research programme on spin and orbital order in frustrated systems. AgNiO2 has a layered crystal structure with Jahn-Teller active Ni3+ ions forming...

The study of novel manganites, where the tailoring of the Mn formal valence state on the B site is done by the ordering of different cations on the A site of the ABO3 (B:Mn)...

Silica glass is one of the most widely studies amorphous materials. It is the archetypal glass former, comprising a network of corner-shared SiO4 tetrahedra. Recently a lot of...

This proposal follows on from our successful experiment on ENGIN-X lin 2006, where we measured the development of strains in the aluminium and silicon phases of a common casting...

We intend to perform the magnetic field penetration depth \lambda measurements on theoxygen reduced and Nb-doped SrTiO_3 -- the first oxide superconductors where two-gap...

We have recently used a combination of PNR and low energy muon spin rotation (LEM) to detect the coexistence of an induced SDW and superconductivity in the superconducting layer...

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...

We request one day of beam-time on POLARIS to collect Neutron Diffraction (ND) data from three novel 12H-type hexagonal perovskites that exhibit higher than expected...

The aim of this experiment is to determine high quality structural models for pyrochlore and zirconolite phases in the Y2Ti2-2xFexNbxO7 and Y2-xCexTi2-xFexO7 solid solutions,...

Summary: Titanium implants are surgically important and require a hydrophilic polymer coating to prevent biofouling in situ. Bioadhesive proteins can be covalently tethered to...

Some of the most important chemical reactions involve Brønsted acids and bases where the solvation structure and transport dynamics of charged defects in hydrogen-bonded...

Ho2-xYxSn2O7 is characterized by degenerate magnetic ground-states, which involve the magnetic structure for x->0 (Spin-Ice phase) and the two-fold degeneracy of the...

In recent incoherent inelastic neutron scattering experiments we have shown that the anharmonic single-particle dynamics of H2 can be measured with high precision in quantum...

The aim of this experiment is to determine accurately the crystal structures of phases in the (1-x)BiScO3-xPbTiO3 (BST-PT) perovskite phase diagram, particularly in the vicinity...

Three MOFs samples with high hydrogen storage capacities at 77K, and high surface area, are willing to be analyzed. In order to investigate hydrogen interactions within the...

In this proposal we wish to continue our current work on mesostructured inorganic films in largely ethanolic solutions, containing limited amounts of water. Transition metal...

This proposal is a continuation of our recent proposal RB 610004 where this partcurrent measurements) was not completed due to the reduced beam intensity. Currents experiment...

Neutron scattering and in particular SESANS is able to give us excellent ensemble averaging of the optical properties of materials which exhibit structural colour. We plan to...
