Spin-Driven Multiferroics CdMn7O12 and SrMn7O12
We propose to perform neutron diffraction experiments on powder samples of possible spin-induced multiferroic materials, 114CdMn7O12 and SrMn7O12, at ambient pressure and low... -
Determination of the elemental composition in relation to the metal alloy usa...
We propose to obtain in elemental composition on Renaissance Bronzes related to the circle of the Sculpto Francois Duquesnoy. A recent attachment of a NRCA detector at INES will... -
Operando neutron reflectometry of of a crystalline silicon anode protected by...
Silicon electrodes for Li-batteries have a ten times higher gravimetric energy density than current electrodes. The major drawback is the big capacity fading associated with the... -
Single-Crystal Neutron Diffraction Study on [U(C5Me5)2(H)(mu¿H)]2
To our knowledge, the length of the U¿H single bond has never been accurately measured, at least not in a molecular compound by single-crystal neutron diffraction. We currently... -
Textured magnetic phases at a ferromagnetic quantum phase transition
Quantum critically is a unifying theme across correlated electron physics. Classical or thermal phase transitions occur at nonzero temperature and are driven by thermal... -
Alkylated Graphene nano-lubricant at the metal-oil interface
The lubrication of surfaces by oils is a key aspect of many academic and industrial problems with significant financial implications. 2-D graphene materials can provide... -
Magnetic Exciations in single crystalline Erbium Iron Garnet
Erbium iron garnet is a technologically important material with potential use in quantum computing. The predicted presence of a magnetic resonance and an optically active erbium... -
Adsorption of organics at the calcite/oil interface and the role of water
This proposal will exploit the unique ability of neutron reflection to characterise the adsorption of a key additive on the surface of calcite from a non-aqueous solvent and the... -
Bose-Einstein Condensation in solid helium confined in porous media
We propose measurements of the Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) fraction n0 of solid helium confined in porous media. A superfluid fraction in solid helium in Vycor, in aerogel... -
Time of Flight MISANS
MISANS is the combination of Modulation of Intensity Emerging from Zero Effort (MIEZE) and Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS). SANS is used to determine the microscopic... -
Magnetic phase diagram of single crystal multiferroic NaFeGe2O6
Multiferroics of spin origin, for which magnetic long-range order and electric polarization occur simultaneously, have attracted considerable interest. The strong coupling...
