The search for new porous materials is increasingly driven by a socio-economic pressure to diversify our energy supply and minimize environmental impact. Carbon-based...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), a wide class of organic molecules with multiply fusedaromatic rings, are ubiquitous in the interstellar medium. In the condensed phase...

One of the main goals of the research in Molecular Magnetism is to increase the blocking temperature TB of Single-Molecule Magnets (SMMs). A significant breakthrough was...

SrTb2O4 belongs to the family of rare-earth RE strontium oxides, SrRE2O4. These compounds, consisting of hexagons and triangles, are affected by geometrical frustration and...

The Indonesian government has recently passed a new policy regarding a mandatory regulation for all gas stations nationwide to replace existing diesel fuel to B-20 biofuel....

The use of deuteration to overcome the difficulties associated with the incoherent scattering from hydrogen, is a well established technique. However, there are increasing...

We have obtained the monolayer structure diffraction patterns from several iodoalkanes adsorbed on graphite, of interest in the study of non-covalent bonding. However, it is...

We have recently been studying a series of rhenium-cobalt oxide phases, based on the cation deficient perovskite phase Ba4Re2CoO12. Lithium can be inserted into the vacant sites...

Spin-trimer chain systems are of current interest due to unconventional properties arising from the strong quantum fluctuations and topology, such as the occurrence of the...

This proposal is for time to search for predicted gas hydrates at high pressure. The results will provide insight into the factors governing the stability of the H-bonded...

To determine the crystal fields of hexagonal RRh3 (R=Pr, Nd) compounds showing ferromagnetic transitions at TC=3 and 6 K, respectively, we plan to perform inelastic neutron...

The A2B2O7 pyrochlore family, where A is a rare earth ion and B=Ti, Sn, is one of the most prolific series of compounds presenting magnetic frustration. The geometric Fd-3m...

Superconductivity (SC) in unconventional superconductors is believed to be related to magnetism. However, in AyFe1.6+xSe2 (A = K, Rb, Cs) system discovered in late 2010, the SC...

Highly oxidized transition metal cations in oxides tend to display unusual electronic and magnetic behavior due to the highly covalent nature of the M-O interactions. Iron is of...

The development of new porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is receiving considerable attention worldwide owing to their potential for gas storage, separation, and...

Cooling is at the heart of modern technology, from storing and transporting food and medicine to computing. Yet current refrigeration technologies rely heavily on...

We propose to perform neutron diffraction experiments on powder samples of possible spin-induced multiferroic materials, 114CdMn7O12 and SrMn7O12, at ambient pressure and low...

The technology of organic electronics unlocks new ways to create semiconductor devices which are impossible using more conventional materials. The organic semiconductors at...

Our recent work using fluoro- starting materials in fluoro-media in combination with framework forming species such as T(O,F, OH)n (T = Si, P, B and other tetrahedral-forming...

Recent thereotical determinations on the Wittig reaction point to low energy (terahertz) vibrations in the ~15-50 meV region being responsible for selectivity of this industrial...
