In this continuation proposal we again plan to collect flipping ratios in order to obtain magnetization densities. The two compounds that we focus on this time are structurally...

A bilayer system of two immiscible polymers of certain thickness is destabilised by the van der Waals forces at the interface via spinodal dewetting. We observed that during the...

The formation of a nonmagnetic singlet ground state due to spin dimerization is an extremely rare phenomenon in 4f -electron systems. This phenomenon has been recently observed...

Magnetite (Fe3O4) is a predicted half-metallic (100% spin polarised) ferromagnet with a high Curie temperature of ~858 K. These properties make it well suited to use in...

Study of the temperature evolution of the structure factor S(q) (and dynamical properties) of Tellurium based materials that show a negative thermal expansion (NTE) and a...

First studied by Fruchart et.al, Mn2TeO6 was synthesized using solid state reaction and was reported as inverse trirutile structure. During the development and optimization of...

We propose to study the vibrational dynamics and the anharmonicity effects of the orthorhombic ZnSb by time of flight spectroscopy. ZnSb is a promising thermoelectric material...

The context of the study is to design Nanocomposites with well defined and controlled polymer/particle interfaces to understand more deeply the interfacial contributions on the...

The zircon-type GdVO4 is an interesting compound for magnetic refrigeration at low temperature, similarly to the previously studied monazite-type GdPO4. For the phosphate,...

A carbon-free renewable energy future requires that next generation electrochemical energy storage systems be developed. Even as successful as the present lithium batteries have...

First of all, we would like to address directly two points from reviewers’ comments on our last submission. First, the panel queried the chemical structure of the...

We propose the improvement of a device able to perform in situ neutron powder diffraction studies of solid state reactions promoted by microwave (MW) heating. This development...

This experiment aims to study the microstructures of crustal rocks that inherited crystallographic traces of their deep flow within the Earth mantle. Such microstructures are...

Sr2RuO4 is an unconventional superconductor. While this is generally believed to have triplet pairing, this conclusion have recently been questioned [K. Machida and M. Ichioka,...

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

Impact of chain architecture on the kinetics of chain collapse in thin hydrogel films:Recently, we have investigated the kinetics of chain collapse of PMDEGA films (see...

The recent observation of multiferroic behaviour in the compound (NH4)2[FeCl5(H2O)] has stimulated the interest in the study of the mechanisms governing the magnetic...

We will obtain phonon spectra on a series of new one-dimensional chain compounds of the form (AxB1-x)CN (A, B = Cu, Ag, Au) as a function of temperature and compare them with...

B-site ordered double perovksites comprise a potentially large class of frustrated magnets but have, until recently, been relatively little studied. Diffuse magnetic scattering...

This proposal aims to explore aggregation behavior of common surfactants in magnetic ionic liquids (MILs) and to investigate the effect of magnetic field on aggregate size,...
