The aim of the present proposal is to complete a systematic study on the effects of isotopic and chemical substitution on the thermal expansion and vibrational properties of...

We have recently carried out an inelastic neutron scattering experiment at LET in order to investigate the excitations in the quantum spin ice Yb2Ti2O7. The single crystal...

The family of hybrid Prussian blue analogues includes many electroactive materials, where organic cations moving within the pores of the cyanide framework cause unusual and...

Molybdenum based-oxides have recently attracted interest for use as electrolyte and electrode materials in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells. This proposal requests 5 days of beamtime on...

We propose to study the phase diagram of a lead-free piezoelectric material consisting of a tricritical triple point where anomalous enhancement of the physical properties have...

Relaxor ferroelectrics are a class of locally disordered crystals possessing peculiar structure and electrical properties. The solid solution of a relaxor perovskite and PbTiO3...

The purpose of this project work is to establish a broader understanding of the magnetic proximity effect observed in a magnetic amorphous multilayer. This will be achieved by...

The research on new anode materials for solid oxide fuel cell is extremely important for its potential to overcome the drawbacks of current state of the art anodes. In this...

The structure of the phosphate materials Na_{1+x}Ge_{2-x}Al_x(PO_4)_3 with x = 0, 0.4 and 0.8 will be investigated using high real-space resolution neutron diffraction. In the...

The hydroxides Me(OH)2 of the bivalent transition metals Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Cd and Zn play critical roles as sorbents, catalysts or reductants in many environmental and...

The Earth¿s climate is strongly influenced by atmospheric aerosols. Organic surfactant films on these aerosols influences their size, optical properties and ability to act as...

Abstract: Apatites (general formula Ca5(PO4)3(OH,F,Cl)) are suitable materials for nuclear waste remediation and storage because they can incorporate actinides in their...

Pyrolysis is considered as a sustainable way to generate energy from bio-oil, however, biochar – a solid residue by-product– is inevitably produced in the production line. We...

Although microemulsions have been widely investigated as potential drug delivery vehicles, relatively little work has been performed establishing the detailed molecular...

We propose to use a pulsed magnet system tried and tested at several neutron and synchrotron facilities in conjunction with the new high flux diffractometer WISH to perform the...

Ionic conductivity is a property where a material is able to conduct electricity through the movement of ions. Oxide ion conductors can be used in solid oxide fuel cells, which...

Oxidation of urban aromatic atmospheric aerosol can produce cloud condensation nuclei capable of changing the reflectivity and lifetime of clouds. The oxidation of organic film...

The accurate determination of the defect structure of rare earth (RE) doped ceria solid electrolytes is fundamental for the comprehension of oxygen diffusion and charge...

Metal-organic perovskites offer many of the advantages of their ceramic analogues, with a range of exploitable functionality including ferroelectricity. Understanding the...

In this proposal we request 3 days of beam time on HRPD to study the structures (both atomic and magnetic) of a variety of oxychalcogenide phases: La2O2Se2Fe2O, Ce2O2Se2Mn and...
