Water dynamics in porous PTFE membranes for water purification
This is a resubmitted proposal in a new project on water purification by membrane distillation. With this technology liquid water is excluded from passing the separating... -
Lattice dynamics study of filled-skutterudite compounds: RPt4Ge12 (R=Ba, La a...
The appearance of non-dispersive Einstein (¿rattling¿) modes, known as the phonon-glass paradigm in filled-skutterudite compounds, has been postulated as an origin of the high... -
Thermal and spin currents: making them work for us
The spin Seebeck effect is a newly discovered phenomenon that if harnessed, could result in a significant improvement of the efficiency of thermoelectric energy generators. In... -
Tuning B-B exchange in the R2MnMn(Mn4-xTix)O12 quadruple perovskite manganites
For the RMn3O6 manganites, we have shown that tuning A-B exchange, by choice of A-site cation or by doping magnetic impurities, gives rise to dramatically different magnetic... -
Investigation of the singlet ground states in PrT2Ga8 (T=Fe, Co) compounds
We are interested in investigating the nature of the ground states in the two titled compounds. Based on theoretical predictions, no magnetic ordering is expected in these... -
Meta-orbital transition in CeRh2Si2
Magnetic quantum critical points (QCPs) in strongly correlated electron systems, i.e. continuous phase transitions at absolute zero temperature, considerably attract both... -
Intercalation of Ciprofloxacin into Lithium - Fluorohectorite at acid and bas...
Using quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) we will investigate the intercalation of Ciprofloxacin (CIPRO) into the synthetic clay Lithium Fluorohectorite (LiFh) to... -
Methyl iodide (CH3I) removal using high-surface area activated carbons: moist...
During the operation of nuclear plants, several fission products are released. Among them, radioiodine is considered one of the most important due to its tendency to form... -

Structural investigations of type-I clathrate compounds
This proposal concerns structural investigations on thermoelectric type-I clathrate compounds Ba8Ge43 and Cs8Sn44. Both compounds possess vacancies in their crystal structure... -
Inelastic neutron scattering investigation of Sr2CuTeO6
Isostructural Sr2CuBO6, B=W or Te, exhibit different magnetic structures k=[0 1/2 1/2] vs [1/2 1/2 0], leading to the suggestion of a reversal in the ratios of the nearest and... -
Cation reorientation dynamics in a metal formate perovskite
Hybrid metal-organic perovskites are promising functional materials, but the complex interactions between organic cations and the framework surrounding them are difficult to... -
