The Mn+1AXn phases, crystalized in hexagonal P63/mmc, have attracted considerable interest for its metallic properties and mechanic properties. In 2013, Liu et al reported that...

Dimensionality plays an important role in determining the anomalous non-Fermi liquid properties in heavy fermion systems. So far most heavy fermion compounds are...

Here we propose to study the local structure of sodium in standard organic carbonate electrolytes for sodium ion batteries. Three different electrolytes are chosen to study; a...

Asphaltenes are the heaviest end of crude oil and are responsible for a multitude of engineering challenges. They can precipitate from the oil, depositing, blocking pipelines...

The spin-chain systems with general formula A¿3ABO6, crystallizing in the K4CdCl6 type structure has attracted a lot attention in recent years due to geometrical frustration...

The recent discovery of superconductivity in a series of iron pnictide materials has provided impetus to the field of new materials discovery. Like in the cuprate...

Ethylene glycol is an industrially important alcohol used as anti-freeze. The presence of intra and inter-molecular hydrogen bonding in its liquid and solid state form makes the...

We propose to study the temperature evolution of the spontaneous strain, crystal and magnetic structure of the charge ordered, mixed valence iron silicate ilvaite. In addition,...

We request 4 days on IRIS to study the temperature dependance of the structural dynamics in amorphous sodium-ammonia (Na-NH3). This will be the first investigation of the...

Water is important in many scientific and technological areas, yet our understanding of this remarkable liquid remains very incomplete. In may cases, it is the properties of...

YbAgGe has an enhanced electronic specific heat coefficient and two magnetic phase transitions at TM1=0.8K and TM2=0.65K. We have grown a series of TbxYb1-xAgGe and YbAgGe...

This is part of a larger experiment which will investigate three related systems which contain copper deficient anti-fluorite-type copper sulfide layers. The overall aim is to...

We will use the high resolution of HRPD and the excellent long d-spacing data available on OSIRIS to investigate the phase transitions in Sr1-xNaxFe2As2 which are associated...

Ionic liquids are of interest to chemistry and material sciences because of their designer properties. The protic ionic liquids are excellent proton carriers in fuel cell...

Catalysis is defined as the increase of the rate of the reaction or directing the reaction to one of the thermodynamically permitted pathways that lead to different products. It...

This proposal regards studies of the structure and morphology of polymer electrolytes which can be used in Li-batteries. These electrolytes are effectively used in electric...

We request 4 days on IRIS to study the temperature dependance of the structural dynamics in amorphous sodium-ammonia (Na-NH3). This will be the first investigation of the...

We propose to use OSIRIS to determine the magnetic structures of a series of cobalt oxysulfides containing Co in square planar coordination. Several compositions...

YbAgGe has an enhanced electronic specific heat coefficient and two magnetic phase transitions at TM1=0.8K and TM2=0.65K. We have grown a series of TbxYb1-xAgGe and YbAgGe...

We propose to conduct inelastic neutron scattering (INS) measurements on deuterated polycrystalline samples of the magnetic molecule {Mo214V30}, to determine the low-lying...
