The aim of the experiment is to investigate the temperature evolution of the crystal structure for two transition metal oxides with low lattice thermal conductivities. This will...

Nickel-based superalloys have excellent high-temperature properties due to the dispersion of stronger precipitates in matrix. The properties are significantly affected by the...

In this proposal we aim to study low temperature structure of hydrogen in the interlayer region of partially hydrated pillared clays. There are linked dual motivations for this...

LaSrCoFeO6 is a rhombohedral perovskite, and can be reduced to the orthorhombic brownmillerite LaSrCoFeO5 in reducing atmospheres at around 600 deg C. This material is air...

Nd2Zr2O7 is a new candidate for quantum spin ice proposed theoretically. It has a well-isolated dipolar-octupolar doublet with Ising anisotropy as the crystal field ground state...

In a number of recent experiments on the pure CeB6 compound, we have revealed strong quasielastic inten-sity in the normal (paramagnetic) state with a rich momentum-space...

We seek to develop new MOFs for sensing and removal of toxic gases (e.g., SO2) and request 4 days on POLARIS to study the structural binding details and dielectric data...

Here we propose to study the Janus character of self-assembled amphiphilic nanoparticles. For that amphiphilic core-shell nanoparticles will be synthesized with a surface...

Glass Ionomer Cements (GICs) have found numerous applications as bone fillers, replacements and adhesives, particularly in dentistry due to their tooth like appearance and...

Polymers and surfactants are key components in detergency. Understanding their interactions is essential to formulate smartly. Detergent formulations usually contain a mixture...

Th S = ½ AF spin ladder is one of the most important models in quantum magnetism. While its properties throughout the (H,T)-phase diagram may be considered to be well understood...

The yeast Candida glabrata is becoming an increasing cause of infections. We have developed RNA interference tools that allow us to study the virulence and resistance mechanisms...

YbNiSn is an Ising ferromagnet with non-colinear spins that undergoes a first order magnetic transition in low magnetic field (0.9 T). The transition is associated with strong...

The formation of multilayer structures at surfaces and interfaces from self-assembly in mixed surfactant and in polymer / surfactant mixtures has been recently reported, and...

We have constructed a novel microwave frequency resonator that can sit within the GEM and POLARIS diffractometers and will allow us to simultaneously collect diffraction and...

Ammonia is seen as a key part of the transition to a sustainable energy economy, but needs decomposition catalysts to release its stored hydrogen. Lithium nitride-hydride...

The recent discovery of skyrmions and skyrmion lattices in materials with no inversion symmetry and their corresponding potential applications of Skyrmions in magnetic...

Our previous INS studies of ¿dry¿/hydrated apoferritin show that the hydrated protein undergoes a dynamical transition, Td, at 200K. Such behavior, first modeled by Doster et al...

The R&D activity on neutron detectors is strategic and instrumental for the development of reliable application of the neutron techniques. We propose to use two equal...

We request 3 days’ beam time on POLARIS for in-situ powder diffraction studies of the reactions of lithium amide or lithium imide with manganese(IV) oxide under flowing argon or...
