The Heisenberg antiferromagnet is a well-known model used to describe the magnetic properties of layered and metal-organic Mott insulators which have been explored both...

Metal and metal oxide nanostructures can be prepared in much different morphology (nanowires, nanobelts, nanofibres etc.) which are known to exhibit better adjustable properties...

The physisorptive capacity of graphite-based nanomaterials for hydrogen is strongly dependent on their internal surface areas and pore dimensions. We have made electrospun...

Mn2V2O7 exhibits reversible structural transition from the high temperature monoclinic phase (C2/m) to low temperature triclinic phase (P-1) near room temperature where Mn2+...

Bi1.7V8O16 is a member of the Hollandite family and its structure is base upon two sets of V4+ (S = 1/2) and V3+ (S = 1) chains. Bi1.7V8O16 undergoes a Metal-Insulator...

Developing recombinant protein pharmaceuticals has proved to be very challenging because of both the complexity of protein production and purification, and the limited physical...

The magnetic ground state in geometrically frustrated lanthanide oxides is determined by the interplay between different magnetic interactions and crystal electric field (CEF)...

Zaccai et al. proposed to build up a neutron Dynamics Data Bank which would be populated with dynamical data of biological macromolecules measured with different techniques,...

Na2PdC2 and Na2PtC2 are the first examples of ternary alkali metal transition metal acetylides. They were synthesized and structurally characterised by our group in 2001 based...

In this application we will conduct the first detailed study of the structure of glassy metal-ammonia systems ? so-called Ogg glasses, named after the person who first proposed...

The discovery of unconventional superconductivity (SC) in several heavy fermion (HF) compounds has attracted considerable attention. Recently we have investigated CeTSi3 (T=Rh...

The frustrated magnetism of pyrochlores makes them candidates for applications in magnetic cooling and scientific instrumentation, and the proposal that they can be used to...

The mechanism of high temperature superconductivity (HTSC) remains unresolved. Of particular interest is the origin of the mysterious pseudogap (PG, a partial gap in the...

We ask for 4 days on NIMROD to study the atomic- and intermediate-range order of ammonia-borane (AB) intercalated into mesoporous MCM-41. Ammonia borane is one of the leading...

Of all the stable elements hydrogen(deuterium) is the least well studied from a structural point of view. Not one of its crystal structures has been fully charecterised. This...

Water supports vital biochemical processes in living organisms, namely through maintenance of the three-dimensional architecture of biopolymers by a tight interplay with their...

This experiment seeks to resolve an ambiguity surrounding the structure of a prototypical relaxor ferroelectric Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 (PMN). Relaxors have been studied extensively...

One-dimensional (1D) S = 1/2 spin chains are a subject of long-standing interest, because conventional long-range ordering can be prevented and novel Luttinger-liquid phase may...

This proposal addresses issues related to understanding drug diffusion in supramoleculargels with view at fundamental pharmacological questions for drug delivery. Preliminary...

Heavy fermion compounds with a small energy gap opening in the strongly hybridised 4f-band at EF are currently under intensive investigations. Recently some of us have...
