Here we propose to measure the phonon density of states in nanocrystalline samples of YAG:Cr. Our parallel luminscence measurements have revealed dramatic changes in the phonon...

The appearance of non-dispersive Einstein (¿rattling¿) modes, known as the phonon-glass paradigm in filled-skutterudite compounds, has been postulated as an origin of the high...

The proposed quasi elastic neutron scattering experiment at ISIS aims at the characterization of the dynamical properties of the series of coordination complexes Pr(BH4)3·nNH3,...

Water is crucial for the functioning of proteins. There has been substantial work to study the effect of water on protein dynamics, structure and function. However, how protein...

Several non-centrosymmetric heavy-fermion compounds have been reported to exhibit unconventional superconductivity (SC). For example, both CeRhSi3 and CeIrSi3 order...

Rare earth pyrochlores R2T2O7 have attracted attention because of the wide range of interesting and unusual magnetic behavior they present, in particular the observation of...

Isostructural Sr2CuBO6, B=W or Te, exhibit different magnetic structures k=[0 1/2 1/2] vs [1/2 1/2 0], leading to the suggestion of a reversal in the ratios of the nearest and...

Hybrid metal-organic perovskites are promising functional materials, but the complex interactions between organic cations and the framework surrounding them are difficult to...

In solids, spins and orbitals are usually not coupled to each other. This may be not true any more in the rocksalt ordered double perovskites having spin-orbit coupling....

Dynamics of charge and spin stripe in 214-type nickelets (La2-xSrxNiO4+d) have been investigated intensively in last two decades as similar electronic ordering was found in...

We propose continued study of the muonium emission from silica aerogel using Muonium Spin Rotation (MuSR) following success of the proof-of-principle measurement. This time, we...

Water plays a critical role in determining the structure and function of biological system. A hydration level, h~0.2 g water/g protein, is often found to be the minimum...

The myelin sheath is a multilayered membrane wrapped around axons in the vertebrate nervous system; it enables the rapid transmission of nerve impulses. It contains a set of...

Pb2FeMO6 phases are of interest as potential multiferroics. We have prepared a new non-centrosymmetric pyrochlore-derived structure containing anion vacancy ordering...

The intermetallic Mo3Sb7 compound exhibits superconductivity at Tc=2 K and exhibits interesting physical properties in the magnetic susceptibility, electrical resistivity and...

La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 (LCMO) and La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSMO) are two oxide ferromagnetic materials. They will be grown on single crystal SrTiO3 substrate. This allows a highly textured...

This proposal seeks to establish the importance of orbital ordering on the stability of the tetragonal phase in Cu doped SrRiuO3. Orbital ordering is believed to be a...

Via chi¿¿(Q,E) we aim to investigate the dependence of the Kondo temperature TK of YbInCu4 on external pressure and substitution. YbInCu4 undergoes a first-order isostructural...

FeSe (Tc = 9 K) being structurally the simplest iron based superconductor shows some exotic properties. For instance, it only undergoes a tetragonal-to-orthorhombic structural...

Topological state of matter remains one of the central topics in condensed matter physics since decades ago. Take graphene as an example, the electron bands are linear and...
