Special attention has been devoted to the honeycomb iridates (Na, Li)2IrO3, in which SOC, intrinsic geometric frustration, and other competing interactions favor a highly...

We propose LF muSR experiments on single crystals of Yb2Ti2O7 at magnetic fields H applied along both [111] and [001] directions, for the first observations of magnetic...

Observation of both ferromagnetic ordering and Kondo/heavy fermion behavior in a system is not so common. Recently we have discovered the Kondo effect/heavy fermion behavior in...

Small-sized metal nanoparticles (NPs) are of long standing interest to both magnetism and heterogeneous catalysis. Recent muSR studies of Au NPs encapsulated in mesoporous...

Supported palladium particles are used as catalysts in many processes. In the course of investigation of Pd-based catalysts used for the selective hydrogenation of nitro-arenes...

We propose to use MARI to (1) compare the properties of the crystal field (CF) scheme between Yb2GaSbO7 (YGSO) and its parent compound Yb2Ti2O7, in hopes of elucidating the...

Iridium oxide compounds have gathered much interest in recent years due to the novel topo- logical phases that they are predicted to host, including topologically insulating and...

Superconductivity in iron-based materials occurs in close proximity to a long-range ordered magnetic phase. In the iron pnictides, uniaxial pressure shifts the magnetic ordering...

Given the challenges in providing efficient and non-harmful refrigeration, it is timely to study barocaloric systems, which offer cooling power via the application of pressure,...

BslA is a globular protein that has recently been shown to play an important role in developing the morphology and hydrophobic properties of Bacillus subtilis biofilms. A...

The search for new hydrogen storage materials is of considerable importance given the need to develop a carbon-free energy economy. This proposal is to investigate the urea-...

Entanglement refers to the phenomenon of two quantum mechanical objects correlated with each other at large distances and proposed to affect quantum criticality, the critical...

We propose muSR experiments to study topological superconductivity in the low-carrier-density superconductor Sn1-xinxTe and Rashba-type non-centrosymmetric superconductor...

The global shortage of 3He for neutron detection purposes triggered an intense research and development activity to find out effective solutions. Different approaches have been...

The Payne effect, whereby filled polymers experience a loss of modulus under applied strain is responsible for much of the energy loss of vehicle tyres in everyday use. It has...

The aim of this experiment is to understand the structure of two widely used polar organic solvents, N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF) and N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), in cylindrical...

Ammonia borane (AB) is arguably the most promising hydrogen storage material for use in clean, green fuel applications. Simple heating of AB produces hydrogen that can be used...

The Sr(4-x)Ca(x)Mn2CoO9 compounds are geometrically frustrated transition metal (TM) oxide, which present a variety of interrelated magnetic behavior. The (Mn,Co) TM form a...

Cubic A2B2O7 oxides with A standing for a rare-earth element and B for a transition or main block metal have been systematically studied for their frequently exotic...

Molten chocolate is a dense suspension of solids (mainly sugar) in oil, to which surfactants have been added to improve the flow properties, either during manufacture or in the...
