The piloting experiments RB820478, RB610497 and RB 10067 on VESUVIO on (NH4)2PdCl6 and (NH4)2TeCl6 have shown that: (i) at 300 K, the dynamics of NH4+ and PdCl6- and TeCl6- is... -
Neutron scattering study on the honeycomb Heisenberg-Kitaev magnet alpha-RuCl3
The experimental realization of a Heisenberg-Kitaev model on the honeycomb lattice has been a major topic in a condensed matter physics, because the model predict a novel... -
Metastable Water Ice and Nitric Acid ¿ observing the phase changes
The IPCC report 2007 underlines the particular importance of aerosol particles for the water cycle and the radiation balance, and thus for the global climate. In Cirrus clouds... -
Multiferroic (Ferroelastic/Magnetic) Phase Transitions in KMnF3
KMnF3 perovskite undergoes 3 structural, and two magnetic phase transitions on cooling from 300 K to 2 K. Above 185 K the compound is in the aristotype structure, on cooling... -
