Rare-earth based geometrically frustrated magnets represent a promising new platform of searching for enigmatic quantum states of matter. Here, entanglement of spin and orbital...

We propose a measurement of spin excitation in heavily underdoped Bi2201 at MERLIN with intent to elucidate an origin of "hourglass" excitation in hole-doped cuprates. Recent...

Compared to carbon nanotubes, metal-oxide imogolite nanotubes (INT), with nominal composition (OH)3Al2O3SixGe1-x(OH), have the peculiarity to have a perfectly defined diameter D...

Fluidised Catalytic Cracking (FCC) units are one of the major conversion units in modern petrochemical refineries. ZSM-5 additives are used in FCC units to convert gasoline...

The experiment is aimed to unravel the diffusion mechanism of hydrogen in Callovo-Oxfordian clays, which are candidates to be used as backfill material in long term geological...

Alkali intercalated fullerides represent a competitive alternative to complex metal hydrides for static and on-board hydrogen storage applications, thanks to their good...

Flexible functional materials are important candidates of current research, because of their potential applications in plastic electronics. Organic ferroelectrics and...

We propose to use OSIRIS to determine the magnetic structures of a series of cobalt oxysulfides containing Co in square planar coordination. Several compositions...

In this proposal, we would like to propose to perform neutron diffraction experiments on the powder samples of the frustrated antiferromagnets AFeO2 (A=Cu and Ag) using WISH. In...

The subjects of this proposal, Ho2+xTi2-xO7-x/2, are brand new materials1 related to Ho2Ti2O7, a spin ice2,3. They have the remarkable property of remaining disordered at very...

The heat capacity and neutron powder diffraction measurements of the double perovskites La2NaB′O6 (B = Ru5+, Os5+) with S=3/2 on the B¿ reveal an incommensurate magnetic...

The discovery of slow relaxation of the magnetization and quantum effects in the single-molecule magnet (SMM) Mn12-ac in 1993 has inspired both physicist and chemist alike. A...

We propose to perform a neutron diffraction experiment under magnetic fields using a single crystal sample of multiferroic alpha-NaFeO2 on WISH beamline. Recently, we have...

We request 4 days on HRPD with the IGAn apparatus to follow the structural changes of Me-ND4 11BD4 as a function of temperature. The high resolution of HRPD will allow us to...

Reflectin, so named because of its high refractive index, is a protein expressed exclusively in cephalopods and forms reflectors responsible for dynamic iridescence and...

Quantum spin liquids (QSL) are novel states of matter that display exotic ground states and fractionalized excitations. In two dimensions, the most promising model system is the...

Most of the one dimensional spin chain compounds are antiferromagnetic with a rich magnetic phase diagram due to the magnetic frustration. We have synthesized Ba3CrS5 and...

We propose to study by powder neutron diffraction the ordered magnetic state of the pyrochlore compound Y2Ir2O7. There is currently an increasing interest in the condensed...

Previous studies have pointed to a heavy-electron state in CePtSi with a strongly enhanced electronic specific heat. We have explored the heat capacity, susceptibility and...

The variant of the Hexagonal perovskite oxides are characterised by chains of trigonal prisms and octahedra, leading to a number of fascinating properties. Using resonant x-ray...
