The coupling of spin and charge correlations in La2-xSrxCuO4
Charge density wave (CDW) order has recently been established as a generic feature of high-temperature cuprate superconductors. It occurs near 1/8 doping and has been observed... -
Pressure effect on stable and metastable structural phases in geometrically f...
Geometrically frustrated antiferromagnet LuBaCo4O7 exhibits unusual competition between two low-temperature phases with orthorhombic and monoclinic symmetry. Depending on... -
Temperature induced structural phase transitions in BaPrO3 and acceptor doped...
The sequence of structural phase transitions that occur in distorted ABO3 perovskites as a function of temperature is of intrinsic interest for better understanding of the... -
Interlayer and Interparticle Water in Clays
Clay barriers are routinely used in nuclear waste repositories to isolate radionuclides from the biosphere. Such barriers have to be carefully designed to remain effective for... -
Surface structures of polycations in confined geometries
A second-generation surface force style apparatus has been developed to probe the inter-surface and near-surface structures under compressive forces. Systems of current academic... -
The effect of an applied electric field on the adsorption and desorption of s...
A major influence on particles and amphiphile adsorption, particularly for charged materials is the surface potential. Recent experiments have shown that this can be manipulated... -
Temperature dependence on mangetic excitations from the high Tc cuprate BSCCO
We plan to continue inelastic neutron scattering measurements on the high Tc cuprate superconductor BSCCO with optimum doping. In the proposed experiment, we will have about 40... -
Simultaneous INS and Raman spectra of centropolyindanes.
The family of centropolyindanes are created by edge-wise fusing of the cyclopentane ring of several indane units (D. Kuck, Chemical Reviews 2006, 106, 4885-4925).... -
Phase behaviour of nano-sized ion-inserted compounds
Insertion reactions are of key importance for Li-ion and Hydrogen storage materials and energy storage devices. Nano-sizing the electrode materials has emerged as a promising... -
The structure of pharmaceuticals in aqueous solution: towards better drug sol...
The pharmaceutical industry has been described as being 'in a period of crisis' as the number of drug approvals relative to most major pharmaceutical companies Research and... -
Insulator to metal transition in TiOCl at high pressures
We propose to study the high temperature structure of TiOCl where a pressure induced metal to insulator transition has been reported recently by Kuntscher et al.Due to our... -
Detailed structures of surfactant micelles
Measurements are required for Sans2d resolution checks and also the overlap of the two Sans2d detectors. Proposal submitted to panel and they deemed it should be done as...
