Probing the mechanism of thermoelectric enhancement in Kondo insulator YbB12 ...
We propose to study the evolution of the spectral features in the dynamical magnetic response in series Yb_{1-x}Tm_{x}B_{12} (x=0.15, 0.6, 0.8). Tm doping results in non-trivial... -
Spin excitations in an alternating quantum spin chain
We propose to measure the magnetic excitations in malachite, a mineral that contains S=1/2 alternating chains with an alternation parameter of J'/J=0.5, just in the middle... -
The dynamics of the calcium-ammonia-graphite decomposition with hydrogen
Graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) have potential as hydrogen storage materials, from direct physisorption of H2 or as a high surface area nanostructured host for metal... -
INS on a 2D quantum spin liquid candidate material without structural disorder.
The ordered double perovskite Sr2CuWO6 is a quasi-two dimensional J1/J2 frustrated square lattice model antiferromagnet. The divalent Cu carries S = 1/2 while the W (VI) is 4d0.... -
Determination of the crystal-electric field in geometrically frustrated pyroc...
Geometrically frustrated systems such as pyrochlore compounds receive much attention since they display exotic magnetic states. The explanation lies on the large degeneracy of... -
Study of the protein denaturation in glassy matrices
The proposed experiment is addressed to use the MARI spectrometer to study the thermal denaturation process of the psychrophile enzyme alpha-amylase in presence of bioprotectant... -
Giant magneto-elastic interactions and changes in the phonon spectrum of CoMnSi
Neutrons are almost never used to examine the role of phonons in materials with large magnetocaloric effects, despite the large magneto-elastic coupling often exhibited by them.... -
Persistent geometrical frustration in the distorted spinel lattice
The corner-shared network of tetrahedra is the most well-known lattice exhibiting geometrical frustation of AFM exchanges under cubic symmetry. Even when the lattice symmetry is...
