Improved detection limit of hydrogen in materials using VESUVIO
The detection of hydrogen content in bulk media is a challenging task. Several techniques aiming at measuring the amount of hydrogen require disruption or erosion of the sample.... -
On the behavior of light water cross section with temperature
Water is the most widely used moderator in neutron sources and nuclear reactors. Despite this fact, thermalization in water is still computed with models that are based on and... -
Direct measurement of the nuclear momentum distribution in a switchable diele...
The family of hybrid Prussian blue analogues includes many electroactive materials, where organic cations moving within the pores of the cyanide framework cause unusual and... -
Neutron Compton Scattering - augmented Muon Spin Rotation: from proton moment...
This proposal seeks to pave the way towards establishing a reliable benchmarking protocol for the PIMD-based predictions of magnetic muSR observables. Inspired by the PIMD study... -
Auger recombination in low temperature silicon measured by photo-MuSR technique
We measure electron-hole recombination rate in low-temperature pure silicon using the photo-MuSR technique. The previous works have measured the recombination rate down to -30... -
Neutron Compton scattering investigation of hydrogen defects in Al2O3/Al hydr...
The need for structural materials that can resist hydrogen assisted degradation becomes critical for the continuation of the development of the hydrogen economy. Understanding... -

We measure electron-hole recombination rate in low-temperature pure silicon using the photo-MuSR technique. The previous works have measured the recombination rate down to -30... -
Combined Neutron Resonance Spectroscopy and Deep Inelastic Neutron Scattering...
We request 5 days on VESUVIO in order to examine the sensitivity of 87Sr (n,) resonances and DINS to the metal-insulator and liquid-solid transitions in the Sr-NH3... -
The effect of electron-phonon coupling on the nuclear dynamics of MgB2
We propose a spectroscopic experiment to characterise the effect of electron-phonon coupling on the nuclear dynamics of Mg and B in the the MgB2 superconductor. The... -
Spectroscopy of muon centres in n-type silicon carbide
We propose to continue laser spectroscopy measurements of the muonium (Mu-) centres in n-type doped silicon carbide. Scanning a wide wavelength range, and changing the relative... -
Cross section measurements for the characterization of nuclear-grade graphites
The present proposal seeks to establish a characterization procedure of grahites, by exploring the pyrolytic and amorphous phases as references to be properly characterized.... -
Gamma Dopplerimetry to Determine the Environment of Iodine in Halogen Bonded ...
Molecular self-assembly directed by non-covalent interactions presents a unique opportunity to create precisely engineered functional materials. Halogen bonding is a widely... -
Energy dependent, sample transmission correction for time-of-flight diffracti...
Diffraction from hydrogenous materials is complicated by the large incoherent scattering contribution from hydrogen. For many materials the solution is to deuterate before...
