The structure of the metal guanadinium formates is analogous to perovskite; the Cu compound is of particular interest as a potential multiferroic. We have recently demonstrated...

Negative thermal expansion (NTE), the phenomenon of a material contracting upon heating, is a relatively unique occurrence with practical applications and fundamental structure...

The aim of this work is to understand the origin of the difference in the behaviour between the two doped manganites Sr0.65Pr0.35MnO3 and Sr0.70Ce0.30MnO3. The hypothesis we...

The Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules (QTAIM) is the quantum mechanical way of looking at molecular structures and bonding. Developed by Richard Bader, QTAIM is built on...

Thermoelectric (TE) materials are set to play an increasingly important role in the development of new energy efficient technologies by generating electrical current from waste...

In the current description of any molecular system based on the Schrodinger equation with a Hamiltonian accounting only for the electromagnetic forces, the structural properties...

The title compound, more succinctly referred to as HMT-hydrate, is a rare example of a water-framework zeolite structure with an organic guest molecule hydrogen bonded to the...

Cubic cadmium(II) cyanide shows the most pronounced isotropic NTE effect known, with behaviour more than twice as extreme as that of better known materials such as ZrW2O8. This...

The purpose of the experiment is to determine the effect of titanium doping on the structural and magnetic transitions of Ca3Ru2O7. The pure material undergoes a Néel transition...

Nanowires can be used for devices based on thermoelectrics and to convert the heat into electrical current. The material design challenge here is to create the materials where...

We request 3 days of beam-time on HRPD to identify the substitution mechanism of Ti3+ and Ti4+ in synthetic hibonites [CaAl12O19]. The experiment forms part of a larger...

The miscibility of polycarbonates (PC) with polystyrene (PS) appears to be closely related to chain dynamics. Among all polycarbonates, tetramethyl bisphenol-A polycarbonate...

We propose to use POLARIS to perform two related experiments. Firstly we will investigate the structures and compositions of derivatives of some layered Mn/Cu oxysulfides which...

Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) are intriguing states of matter in which magnetic frustration and strong quantum fluctuations prevent classical long-range magnetic order. To date,...

We propose to study the powder averaged spin fluctuations in a S=5/2 pryochlore - FeF3. Previous studies, corroborated by our own diffraction work on WISH, have measured that...

Magnetic and superconducting ground states have been proposed to coexist in a relatively narrow compositional range in the so-called 122 pnictide superconductors. We recently...

We will use MAPS to measure the complete spin excitation spectrum of the quasi-two-dimensional S=3/2 antiferromagnet La2CoO4. The measurement is motivated by recent observations...

The Mn+1AXn phases, crystalized in hexagonal P63/mmc, have attracted considerable interest for its metallic properties and mechanic properties. In 2013, Liu et al reported that...

Benzene is the parent compound of organic solids based on C-H...pi interactions that have been used in organic field effect transistors. Any change in the C-H...pi interactions...
