The present proposal is part of a larger EPSRC project advancing the vibrational spectroscopy of silicate glasses. The project involves the techniques of IR and Raman... -
Doping-induced energy gap in a quantum spin chain
SrCuO2 is a prototypical S = 1/2 antiferromagnetic (AF) Heisenberg 1D spin chain system. High-resolution neutron scattering studies has already successfully revealed the gapless... -

In our previous experiment, RB1120106 (see the experimental report in the database), we have successfully isolated the oxygen Compton profile in heavy water. The kinetic energy... -
Auger recombination in low temperature silicon measured by photo-MuSR technique
We measure electron-hole recombination rate in low-temperature pure silicon using the photo-MuSR technique. The previous works have measured the recombination rate down to -30... -
Incommensurate magnetic fluctuation in KFe2As2 at high energy
We clearly observed incommensurate (IC) magnetic excitation in KFe2As2 above Tc with Ei=80 mev on ARCS at ORNL. Though we got beam time at LET, we wish to see how the IC changes... -

We propose measurements of the elementary phonon-roton (p-r) excitations of liquid 4He confined in porous MCM-41 (45 Å pore diameter) at wave vectors Q ¿ beyond the roton¿, 2.4... -
Stochastic vs. Intermolecular Motions in Strongly Associated Liquids: The Cas...
Neutron scattering is a powerful technique to study stochastic motions in liquids but it requires an energy resolution well below the meV range. As a consequence, quasielastic... -

Crystals of the filled skutterudite PrFe4Sb12 with the 73~87% Pr-site filling fractions prepared under ambient pressure show some magnetic ordering around 5 K and their... -
Coexistence of Superconductivity and Magnetism in Thin Films
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... -
High energy spin excitation in superconducting Rb0.8Fe1.68Se2
Superconductivity (SC) in unconventional superconductors is believed to be related to magnetism. However, in AyFe1.6+xSe2 (A = K, Rb, Cs) system discovered in late 2010, the SC... -
A wide-range energy and wave-vector transfer instrument for pulsed sources
Neutron scattering is a powerful technique to reveal structure and dynamics in condensed matter, espacially in hydrogen containing materials. For these systems, the experimental... -
