Dextran based "smart" microgels for controlled drug delivery
Controlled drug delivery must be supported by specialized multi-task devices for addressing a predetermined therapeutic dose in controlled physiological conditions. Combining... -
Is the anisotropic resistivity in Sr3Ru2O7 due to imbalanced antiferromagneti...
Many novel electronic ground states form in close proximity to quantum critical points (QCPs), that is, the point where a continuous phase transition occurs at zero temperature.... -
Magnetic structure of the new chiral magnetoelectric Sb2MnO6
Magnetoelectric multiferroics have been recently the focus of a significant research effort. The experiment that we propose explores a new class of "magnetochiral" systems,... -
Magnetic excitations and quasi-1D to 3D crossover in the metal-organic framew...
The metal-organic framework (MOF) guanadinium copper formate is of interest in the quest towards rational design of multiferroic MOFs. It exhibits cooperative Jahn-Teller... -
Weyl Points in the Magnetic Excitations of Er2Ti2O7
In the condensed matter community the last ten years have seen a revolution in our understanding of how topology influences the properties of solids. A famous example from the... -
Magnetic structure of a new quantum magnet
SrCuTe2O6 is a quantum magnet featuring spin-1/2 magnetic ions that are coupled intoantiferromagnetic chains with frustrated interchain coupling. An ideal... -
Investigation of Jahn-Teller assisted polaron collapse beyond the percolation...
Polaron-mediated colossal magneto-resistance (CMR) was predicted decades ago but never been experimentally established unambigously, despite the 'universal' existence of... -
Probing the magnetic structure of transition metal pyrovanadates M2V2O7 (M = ...
Transition metal pyrovanadate M2V2O7 (M = Ni, Co, Mn) exist with a great variety of crystal structures, which are reflected in the richness of their physical properties.... -
Proton dynamics in novel organic ferroelectric materials
The vast majority of known ferroelectrics are inorganic compounds such as barium titanate and potassium dihydrogen phosphate. Contrary to naïve expectation, ferroelectricity in... -
Structure and cation ordering in A2Sn3Q7-type phases (A=In, Cr; Q= S, Se)
We wish to exploit the contrast afforded by neutrons to study the ordering of In and Sn cations in indium tin chalcogenides. Cation ordering has been inferred from spectroscopic... -
Negative thermal expansion in the rutile phase of ZnF2
It has recently been discovered than the rutile phase of zinc fluoride shows negative thermal expansion along all three crystallographic axes. What is highly unusual about this... -
Temperature Dependent Neutron Diffraction Studies on the Phase Transition in ...
Eu2AuGe3 was synthesized by metal flux method. Room temperature single crystal XRD data shows that this compound crystallizes within the orthorhombic Ca2AgSi3 type structure....
