PDF Analysis of a new oxide ion conductor
Preliminary investigations have shown that Sr1.8Na0.2MgSi2O7-d, belonging to the melilite family of oxide, is a potential new oxide ion conductor. The aim of this experiment is... -
Muon study of a Tb polyoxometallate single ion magnet with 5-fold symmetry
The magnetic properties of a Terbium single ion magnetic system will be studied using implanted muons. The system is based on a polyoxometallate ion that provides good isolation... -
Diffusive behavior in garnet-type Li ion conductor under electric field
This proposal describes a muSR experiment on a garnet-type Li ionic conductor, Li6.75La3Zr1.75Nb0.25O12 under electric field (E) in order to study a diffusive behavior under a... -
Transition metal carbides via novel, ultrafast microwave synthesis; Reaction ...
We are investigating the ultra-rapid synthesis of transition metal carbides using microwave (MW) irradiation. Currently we are establishing an understanding of these reactions... -

Spin-phonon coupling in heavy fermion CeAuAl3 and CeCuAl3 compounds
To understand this novel ground state of CeCuAl3, we have carried out low and high-energies inelastic neutron scattering (INS) measurements using the IRIS and HET spectrometers.... -
Probing lateral solvent and ion distributions in patterned pH swellable gels ...
Patterned, swellable hydrogels are finding increasing applications as sensing, optical focussing and actuation elements in Lab-on-a-chip structures because of their property... -
Local structural disorder in the ion conducting complex oxide CeNbO4+d
Complex oxides within the family CeNbO4 have been shown by single crystal x-ray studies to have superstructured average structures, but little detail has been obtained about the...
