Polymeric films thinner than a 100 nm exhibits a variation of the glass transition temperature of a few tens of degrees and can brake up into discrete islands when heated near...

We have recently carried out an inelastic neutron scattering experiment at LET in order to investigate the excitations in the quantum spin ice Yb2Ti2O7. The single crystal...

The aim of the present proposal is to complete a systematic study on the effects of isotopic and chemical substitution on the thermal expansion and vibrational properties of...

For energy storage applications, high energy density is an important material characteristic when searching for new types of suitable materials. LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO) is an...

Ordered double perovskites (also known as elpasolites) have the general formula A2BB’O6 where A is generally a rare earth metal or alkaline earth metal and where B and B’ are...

This proposal is part of a research programme which is focused on nano-fibres prepared by electrospinning. The programme is centered on developing an understanding of the...

We propose to study the kinetics and thermodynamics of polymer:fullerene composite association to provide insight into engineering increased efficiency organic photovoltaics....

Zeolites are microporous materials that are used as heterogeneous acid catalysts in reactions. It is important to study reactive intermediates in zeolites in order to understand...

SQUID magnetometry is the first and most trivial step when studying magnetic systems. However reliable conclusions can only be made in cases of very simple systems. When the...
