Super proton conductors are in the focus of interest because of their use in low temperature fuel cells. In this project we try to obtain information on proton mobility,... -
Phonon Dispersion in the Organic Ferroelectric Croconic Acid
Organic ferroelectrics are important materials because of their technological applications in low-cost non-volatile memory elements. Single-crystal croconic acid (C5O5H2) is the... -
Diffuse scattering studies of squaric acid in an applied electric field
Organic ferroelectric compounds such as KH2PO4 and squaric acid, have attracted much interest in the past due to their potential in applications [1]. This interest has been... -
Proton mobility in Solid Super Proton Conductor CsHSO4
As a natural continuation of RB1010524, we propose to perform NCS measurements on CsHSO4 around the super protonic phase transition at 414 K. Our methodology to compute atomic... -
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... -
QENS studies of nanostructured hydrides
The search for a light, high-capacity hydrogen store continues. Ammonia borane (AB) is a complex hydride with excellent hydrogen capacity, of which half desorbs at moderate... -
Proton Delocalization in Liquid Hydrogen Chloride
