The corner-shared network of tetrahedra is the most well-known lattice exhibiting geometrical frustation of AFM exchanges under cubic symmetry. Even when the lattice symmetry is...

We propose to study the effect of pressure and temperature on the crystal structure and the elastic properties of lead selenide, an important material for conversion of waste...

The use of nanoparticles for environmental remediation is an emerging technology. Pioneering the field is the use of nanoscale zerovalent iron (nZVI) to cleanup ground waters...

Hydrogen is an efficient energy carrier that can be produced from renewable sources and stored in alloys in solid-state for long period enabling the transition towards CO2-free...

Thermal batteries find use in applications such as emergency power systems and ejector seats in aircraft. They operate at elevated temperatures of around 400-500 °C, where the...

Water ice displays a remarkably complex phase diagram containing pairs of hydrogen-ordered / disordered phases. Ice XII is a hydrogen-disordered phase and ice XIV is its...

We are studying asphaltene behavior in multiple solvent environments to investigate the key motives behind polyaromatic hydrocarbon self-aggregation. We have found that 1-...

Using an enzyme mediated conjugation method we have prepared well-designed protein-polymer conjugates using a model protein, green fluorescent protein (GFP) with...

In this proposal we request 3 days of beam time on HRPD to study the structures (both atomic and magnetic) of a variety of oxychalcogenide phases: La2O2Se2Fe2O, Ce2O2Se2Mn and...

Ionic conductivity is a property where a material is able to conduct electricity through the movement of ions. Oxide ion conductors can be used in solid oxide fuel cells, which...

We have recently carried out an inelastic neutron scattering experiment at LET in order to investigate the excitations in the quantum spin ice Yb2Ti2O7. The single crystal...

For energy storage applications, high energy density is an important material characteristic when searching for new types of suitable materials. LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO) is an...

Ordered double perovskites (also known as elpasolites) have the general formula A2BB’O6 where A is generally a rare earth metal or alkaline earth metal and where B and B’ are...
