Our report of a novel cationic dipalladium(I) hydride in (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2010, 49, 6315) shows a linear Pd-Pd-H core with H-ligand dynamics (solution NMR). Ab-initio MD... -
Electronically-driven structural transition in Ti-doped Ca3Ru2O7
The purpose of the experiment is to determine the effect of titanium doping on the structural and magnetic transitions of Ca3Ru2O7. The pure material undergoes a Néel transition... -
Total Scattering Study of the Defect Structure of Gamma Glycine
Our picture of the structure of organic solids is derived almost exclusively on ?conventional? crystal structures based on Bragg scattering. Though it is hard to overstate the... -
INS Study of Bio-oil on a Hydrodeoxygenation Catalyst
The Indonesian government has passed a new policy regarding a mandatory regulation for all gas stations nationwide to replace existing diesel fuel to B-20 biofuel. Bio-oil is a... -
Completing the Magnetic Ordering-Crystal Structure Phase Diagram of Supercond...
The key objective is to measure three samples of composition Fe(1.05)Te, Fe(1.12)Te, and Fe(1.14)Te as a function of temperature (base to 80 K) through their magnetic ordering... -
Temperature Effects in YIG Films Probed by PNR
Yttrium iron garnet Fe3Y5O12 (YIG) is the material of choice for spin Hall related effects, magnonics, inter alia and has been used in microwave applications for many years.... -
The effect of redox on the substitution mechanism of Ti in meteoritic hibonite
We request 3 days of beam-time on HRPD to identify the substitution mechanism of Ti3+ and Ti4+ in synthetic hibonites [CaAl12O19]. The experiment forms part of a larger... -
Crystal structures of Na2MoO4.10H2O, Na2WO4.10H2O and Na2MnO4.10H2O.
Chemical substitution is a valuable technique for probing the behaviour of materials since this exerts a stress comparable in many respects to changes in pressure or... -
Polycarbonate and tetramethyl bisphenol A polycarbonate
The miscibility of polycarbonates (PC) with polystyrene (PS) appears to be closely related to chain dynamics. Among all polycarbonates, tetramethyl bisphenol-A polycarbonate... -
Doping Effects on Electronic Phase Separation in CaFe3O5
Our recent study of CaFe3O5 revealed a remarkable discovery of electronic phase separation, similar to examples widely reported in manganite perovskites. Electronic phase... -
Origin of high-temperature magnetoelectricity in CuO
We propose to measure the spin excitation spectrum of single-crystal CuO throughout the Brillouin zone. The motivation for the experiment is to gain an understanding of the... -
Short range spin ice type correlations of HoAgGe by diffuse neutron scattering
Spin ices are exotic phases of matter characterized by frustrated spins obeying local ice rules that minimize the number of spatially isolated magnetic monopoles, in analogy... -
Neutron scattering investigation of spin-dynamics in the S= 1/2 trimer chain ...
Spin-trimer chain systems are of current interest due to unconventional properties arising from the strong quantum fluctuations and topology, such as, quantum phenomenon of... -
