Probing the origin of low thermal conductivity in thermoelectric materials
Thermoelectric materials are increasingly attracting attention due to their potential for use in devices for waste heat energy recovery. Bismuth copper oxychalcogenides have... -
INS as a dual-probe of giant magnetic anisotropy and vibrational density of s...
Monometallic complexes of paramagnetic transition metal or lanthanide metal ions have found to exhibit single-molecule magnet (SMM) behaviour with an appreciably enhanced... -
Spin dynamics in the zig-zag ladder beta-CaCr2O4
We propose to investigate the spin dynamics in the frustrated antiferromagnet beta-CaCr2O4. Its structure consist in one dimensional chains of Cr+3 forming the legs of zig-zag... -
High Energy Spin Excitations in Overdoped Superconducting BaFe1.85Ni0.15As2
The recent discovered iron pnictide superconductor which shows a transition temperature up to 50K has drawn much attention in the community. There are indications that... -
Magnetic Excitations of Isolated and Pairs of Co Ions and in MgO
The magnetic excitations will be studied in a powdered sample of 3% CoO in 97% MgO in order to to study the excitations of isolated Co ions and of isolated pairs of Co ions.... -
Inelastic Neutron Scattering study on new tetragonal compound Ce2PdGe3
Cerium-based Kondo lattice compounds have received great attention, owing mostly to the variety of exotic ground states that they exhibit (e.g., unconventional... -
Spin excitations in RbFe2F6 ¿ A possible S=5/2 Kagome lattice?
We propose to investigate the spin fluctuations in a candidate S=5/2 Kagome lattice. Previous neutron diffraction has found that RbFe2F6 maybe a good realization of a Kagome... -
Spin excitations in RbFe2F6 and CsFe2F6 A possible S=5/2 Kagome lattice?
Geometrically frustrated spin systems are important owing to the fact that the geometry often suppresses conventional mean field ground states in favor of more unconventional... -
Spin gap and possible spin-dimer formation in Ce(Os1-xFex)2Al10 (X=0 to 1)
Our neutron study using MARI/MERLIN on Ce(Ru1-xFex) 2Al10 reveals very interesting magnetic excitations and a manuscript is ready to submit to PRB. In x=0 (TN=27 K) a... -
Spin excitations in La2O2Fe2OSe2 ¿ A Mott insulator candidate
We propose to map out the spin excitations in La2O2FeOSe2 using the MARI chopper spectrometer on a powder sample. Although the structure of La2O2FeOSe2 has some similarities to... -
Magnetic Excitations in Chromium
Chromium is unique amongst the d-band elemental metals in that it has a spin density wave ground state. The spin density wave is caused by Fermi surface nesting between electron... -
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... -
Neutron spectroscopy of a novel family of Ln2 dimers
Molecular nanomagnets containing 4f ions are attracting an increasing interest because of their large magnetic anisotropy and slow relaxation of magnetization originating from... -
Search for magnetic correlations in Fe phosphide superconductors
We propose to use inelastic neutron scattering to search for the existence of spin fluctuations in two iron phosphide superconductors, LaFePO and Sr2ScFePO3. The objective is to... -
The magnon density of states in NiPS3
NiPS3 is an example of a low-dimensional magnetic system. It is potentially a 'model' magnet, meaning that it might be a good material to search for new phenomena that have been... -
Ex situ Study of glass formation from ion-exchanged Zeolite by INS
This proposal is a continuation of Rapid Access experiment RB170007 done on MARI in September 2016, as recommended by MARI beam scientists. This experiment was done to establish...
