The material Cu(1,3-benzenedicarboxylate) (C8H4CuO4) features structurally perfect kagome lattice planes of spin-1/2 copper2+ ions, with the separated by organic linkers. High...

The nature of the ground state of the spin-1/2 kagome lattice antiferromagnet remains an important question. Cu(1,3-bdc) is a hybrid organometallic compound featuring S=1/2 Cu2+...

Our continuous proposal work will focus mainly on the influence of dislocation dominated deformation modes on fatigue-crack-growth in order to fully complete our proposed...

Organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells have the potential to be the basis of a renewable energy source that is inexpensive and portable. Current state-of-the-art solution-processed...

The recent experimental verification of the unique odd-frequency spin triplet superconductivity in artificial thin film ferromagnetic-superconducting structures is likely to...

We wish to determine a structure we have observed in a dodecane/surfactant/water system. Initial experimentation has suggested the possibility of spontaneous formation of a...

A previous CRISP measurement allows us to show for the first time using PNR a change in the response due to superconductivity in an Fe/Pb/Fe tri-layer sample. This type of...

In the current world political climate, technology that offers accurate, real-time and selective sensing of explosive compounds is increasingly important. Whether it is for use...

The aim of this proposal is to determine the thickness of a water layer surrounding colloidal particles dispersed in oil with changes in ionic strength. Recent work by our group...

We propose to conduct an inelastic scattering study on NaVS2 and NaVSe2 in zero magnetic field on the MARI spectrometer. These compounds form triangular lattices which are...

ZnV2O4 possesses coupled spins, lattice and orbital degrees of freedom. A number of models of orbital ordering have been proposed for the tetragonal phase, these are real...

Recently, new type of frustrated magnets, BaV10O15 and SrV10O15, were found to exhibit interesting phenomena due to mixed valence ions forming a modified triangular lattice....

RMnAsO (R = Ce and La) are isostructural compounds with Fe-based oxypnictides, but has a unique properties as Mott insulator unlike the nonsuperconducting parent compounds of...

An investigation of the elastic and plastic anisotropy of polycrystal in the vicinity of the fatigue-crack tip is of both scientific and practical significance to promote a...

Hollow nanoparticles (HNP) have been successfully used for encapsulation and controlled release of biochemicals such as drugs, DNA, and dyes. However no in-situ method has been...

Conjugated organic semiconductors form an exciting class of materials that can be used in a variety of cutting edge technologies including organic light-emitting diodes (OLED),...

Fullerenes often produce very dramatic improvements to polymer properties, but their limited miscibility with polymers is often a severe restriction to the general utility. We...

We have recently used a combination of PNR and low energy muon spin rotation (LEM) to detect the coexistence of an induced SDW and superconductivity in the superconducting layer...

Organic Solar Cells (OSCs) have attracted substantial commercial and scientific interest as they provide a pathway to realizing a renewable energy source that is portable...

The research is to study the fundamental issues and the key factors in controlling the interfacial bonding of dissimilar metallic alloys made by spraying deposition; and the...
