The need for structural materials that can resist hydrogen assisted degradation becomes critical for the continuation of the development of the hydrogen economy. A new neutron...

Pseudoelastic CoNiGa high-temperature shape memory alloys (HT-SMAs) show a wide range of tunable transformation temperatures and lower processing costs than conventional Ni-Ti-X...

The aim of this experiment is to gain knowledge on the two forging methods applied to make the Japanese swords under investigation. The purpose of the experiment is to correlate...

Thermal barrier materials are used in modern turbines to enable them to run above the melting temperature of the turbine blades. However, to go to higher temperatures (and...

Every new triangular lattice (TL) antiferromagnet attracts considerable attention since they usually display rich physics due to the inherent frustration and degenerate ground...

We want to investigate and Rietveld-refine the crystal structures of a number of lithium titanates and niobates of interest as battery anode materials. Some of these phases have...

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...

It is well known that water is the medium in which the overwhelming majority of biological processes take place. In cell membranes water molecules are thought to be essential to...

The triangular Heisenberg antiferromagnet is the classic example of the frustrated magnet, here the ground state forms a non-collinear 120° structure. A number of different...

Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs) are emerging as low-cost and environment-friendly solvents for industrial process. DESs are formed by the association of a hydrogen bond-capable...

Nanoporous membranes fabricated by polymerization around soluble templates have found many applications in (bio)sensors, charge storage devices, filtration and catalysis....

We aim to determine the magnetic excitation spectrum in single-crystals of the parent LaFeAsO compound and thereby address some basic issues concerning the nature of the...

This proposal will explore the effect of elevated pressure on the 3,4,5-Trinitropyrazole (TNP). TNP releases a large amount of dinitrogen gas as a detonation product which is...

Topological insulators are one of the most important recent discoveries in condensed matter physics. The topological surface state can become gapped when ferromagnetic order is...

20 years ago, Anderson proposed that the thermoelastic properties of the dominant (mantle) phase within the Earth, MgSiO3 perovskite, could be described as a simple Debye solid....

It has been known for some time that the CuO bond-stretching phonon in the high-temperature superconductor La2-xSrxCuO4 (LSCO) exhibits anomalies is its dispersion and damping....

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

Carbonates and phosphates are highly important in biomineralization. They are found as hydroxyapatite (Ca5(PO4)3OH) in bone or calcite/aragonite(CaCO3) in seashells and...

We request 5 days on Sandals to study the interactions of the neurotransmitters dopamine, L-dihydroxyphenylalanine and norepinephrine in aqueous solution. The interactions of...

The main purpose of the experiment is to analyze structural properties and composition of different series of Celtic drachmas (mainly from Torino Antiquities Museums). We would...
