Understanding Chemical Expansion in Perovskite Oxides: Impact of Long-Range D...
"Chemical expansion" occurs when some ceramics expand upon releasing oxygen. Their ability to effectively "breathe" oxygen makes them of use in sustainable energy... -
Condensation of supercritical hydrogen in nanoporous hydrogen storage materia...
This proposal builds on the success of our last INS experiment (RB1210041), which used TOSCA's new low energy capabilities to access and track the elastic line as well as the... -
Influence of the electric dipole moment of gas molecules on the gate-opening ...
The aim of this proposal is to study the condensation transitions of polar gas molecules in nanoporous flexible materials by means of wide Q-range neutron diffraction. An... -
Elastic Neutron Diffraction Studies of Polycrystalline Co-doped CeCu2Ge2
A systematic study of physical properties on Ce(Cu1-xCox)2Ge2 reveals that the AFM ground state of CeCu2Ge2 can be continuously suppressed by Co doping and NFL type of behavior... -
Magnetic structure of new manganite TlMnO3
Recently synthesized new perovskite TlMnO3 is distinct in respect of crystal structure (space group) and orbital ordering from those of the previously known trivalent perovskite... -
Gas condensation and fluid behaviour in nanoporous ZIF-8 materials upon gate...
This proposal aims to study condensation transitions in nanoporous flexible materials by means of wide Q-range neutron diffraction. We plan to perform an in-situ gas... -
Study of structural and phase transitions of carbon dioxide confined in the n...
The properties of fluids confined in nanopores differ from the bulk mainly due to the solid-fluid interactions and the finite pore size. Such phenomena are of fundamental... -
Density-driven structural transformations in calcium silicate glass
The density-driven structural transformations in the calcium silicate glass CaSiO3 will be investigated at pressures increasing to 17.5 GPa. This glass is one of a family of... -
Understanding anaesthetics: Ethanol partitioning into lipid membranes, effect...
Ethanol plays an important role in the human metabolism. It is in particular known to act as a drug enhancer by increasing trans-membrane permeability, and as an anesthetic.... -
Low-energy spin dynamics of a quantum analogue of ice
Quantum spin liquids are exotic states of magnetic matter in which conventional magnetic ordering is suppressed. Magnetic analogues of ice are good candidates to observe this... -
Magnetic nanostructures of Fe-Ag and Fe-Au granular thin films
Nanogranular thin films of FexM100-x (M=Au,Ag; x=7,20,39) are an excellent system to study the magnetism of nanoparticles in diamagnetic matrices coupled by direct, RKKY and... -
Nature of guest-host interactions in novel porous carbon materials
The goal of this proposal is to investigate the nature of the guest-host interactions in novel porous carbide-derived carbon (CDC) using TOSCA. The advantage of porous carbons... -
Study of a spin gap and CEF excitations in the caged compounds CeT2Al10 (T=Fe...
This proposal was submitted on MERLIN (RB1010206) and beam time was allocated on MARI. We have carried out low energy measurements on MARI and found a clear evidence of the spin... -
Determination of the on-top vibrational mode of the surface hydride in PdH.
Finely divided supported palladium particles are used as catalysts in many technical processes. Using MAPS we have recently investigated the interaction of hydrogen with the... -
Carbon dioxide dynamics in a zeolitic imidazolate framework
Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are three-dimensional networks consisting of metal cations/clusters linked through bridging organic ligands. Containing pores and cavities, such... -
Phonon dynamics in liquid gallium
We propose to measure the inelastic scattering S(Q,E) maps from gallium in its liquid phases across a wide range of temperatures. This proposal is based on a new prediction for... -
