Neutron scattering study of a triangular-lattice NaYbO2: a quantum spin liqui...
The Quantum spin liquid (QSL) state continues to fascinate the condensed matter community. This is because the spins in a QSL are highly entangled and fluctuate strongly down to... -
Magnetic interactions in honeycomb iridates Na2IrO3
We propose to study the magnetic excitation spectrum of Na2IrO3 with inelastic neutron scattering. Na2IrO3 is a promising candidate to realize Kitaev interaction. By mapping out... -
Deep inelastic scattering probes the amorphous structure of glasses
Borosilicate glasses are suitable materials for the immobilization of high-level nuclear waste. One of the main questions is the structural changes of B-O network. We perform... -
Single-Crystal Neutron Diffraction Study on [U(C5Me5)2(H)(mu¿H)]2
To our knowledge, the length of the U¿H single bond has never been accurately measured, at least not in a molecular compound by single-crystal neutron diffraction. We currently... -
High-pressure and variable-temperature studies of RDX
Previous studies have suggested that a high-pressure form of the widely used secondary explosive RDX can be obtained above ~4 GPa and 488 K. This phase is reported to be... -
Tracking cementation in portland and geopolymer cements.
Two millenia after the Romans invented opus caementicium (cement), it is the most commonly used material worldwide. With annual production of >10 billion tonnes, Portland... -
