We propose to examine the microscopic dynamic properties of a class of solid ion conductors known as ?plastic crystals?. The name ?plastic? reflect the ability of these...

When fluids are confined in pores with dimensions in the nanoscale, their properties differ from the bulk mainly due to the solid-fluid interactions and the finite pore size....

This application is concerned with the defect chemistry and stability of Pr2NiO4+d, a highly disordered energy material whose crystal structure is still subject to controversy....

Oxide-ion and proton-conducting materials attract considerable interest thanks to their application as electrolytes in solid-oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). We have recently...

We propose an investigation of the spin-waves in the recently discovered room-temperature skyrmion material Co8Zn8Mn4. The ground state of Co8Zn8Mn4 is a very long wavelength...

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...

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...

A new metamagnetic material CoSr2Nd1.1Ce0.9CuO9±d has been synthesised. At 2 K the metamagnetic transition occurs at a field of 0.1 T. We propose to measure the field dependence...

Creep in polycrystalline engineering alloys occurs differently along different crystalline orientations. This is because external loading distributes lattice strains...

Measurement results, obtained with a CAMECA IMS 7f-auto, of an as-deposited sample and a sample after 500°C thermal treatment.
