BiFeO3 attracts considerable attention because of its multiferroic and ferroelectric properties. Nd-substitutions in antiferromagnetic BiFeO3 induce a significant ferromagnetic...

In condensed matter physics, a little frustration can make materials interesting. This is because that the presence of competing forces, which cannot be simultaneously...

Manganese oxides have attracted great interest in solid-state physics research owing to the diverse range of electronic ordering phenomena. Pb3Mn7O15 is a relatively...

Bacterial and fungal infections of cereal crops pose a considerable risk to global food security. Typically plant pathogens are controlled through the use of chemical agents...

A major problem in physics is the identification of the mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity. Many theories purport to explain the high-Tc phenomenon. In most...

We have been focusing on two component gel networks. Here, both components can individually form gels. In a mixed system, the LMWG can either co-assemble or self-sort. In a...

Bilayer lipid membranes and their interactions with the integral or peripheral proteins serve as one of the key mechanism in various cellular functions like communication, cell...

N-acyl amino acids are surfactants with attractive applications in different technological fields. They are referred to as mild surfactants because they are commonly considered...

We will investigate a series of aluminophosphate systems, in particular related to small pore materials and determine the short and medium range order structures and more...

Hydrogen stands out as a promising alternative to fossil fuels, being able to yield clean energy when combined with oxygen, with an efficiency that is about three times higher...

Inelastic neutron scattering has been used to study adsorbed species on catalysts for more than 30 years. All of this work has one feature in common: they are all ¿snapshots¿ of...

Abstract. In experiments at LLB and ILL we have measured low-resolution INS spectra and elastic scans for H2O- and D2O-hydrated samples of a 15-residue oligopeptide between 30...

Plastic bags are used as containers for storage of donated blood. These bags are typically made out of PVC plasticized with dialkylphthalates (e.g. DEHP), which migrates into...

This proposal is concerned with determining variations in the high pressure structure of LaCoO3 and observing changes within this as the material undergoes some well...

We wish to determine the effect of various stabilisers on anisotropic pigment particles that are being developed for use in liquid crystal composites. We will investigate the...

The three Al-silicate polymorphs, kyanite, andalusite and sillimanite, are well-known geological markers used to determine the extent of P- and T-induced metamorphism...

KTiOPO4 (KTP) is a well known non-linear optical material. Its crystal structure has highly asymmetric Ti-O bonds, a rigid TiO6-PO4 lattice and K cations trapped in cages. The...

Aluminosilicate glasses are highly important in the glass manufacturing industry where they are used to make products that include the touch screens for cell phones and tablets....

N-acyl amino acids are surfactants with attractive applications in different technological fields. They are referred to as mild surfactants because they are commonly considered...

In this work, we will examine the Li distribution in cubic and tetragonal La3Zr2Li7O12, tetragonal LaSr2Sb2Li7O12, as well as the variation in the distribution with temperature....
