This proposal is a continuation of RB1000003 and RB1110113. The aim of the present experiment is to gain further insight into the mechanism of benzyl alcohol oxidation using... -
Spin excitations in frustrated rare-earth tripod Kagome magnets
Exotic ordering phenomena resulting from magnetic frustration continue to attract attention as newtypes of frustrated compounds emerge. A very recent development in this field... -
Violation of the Gaussian approximation in the incoherent spectrum of hydroge...
A well-known approach to the self-dynamics of liquids is based on the Gaussian approximation, where it is assumed that the motion of a molecule is fully determined by a unique... -

Spin dynamics of non-collinear magnetic structures can exhibit the rare phenomena which go beyond the linear spin wave theory. Our previous studies on non-collinear... -
Meta-orbital transition in CeRh2Si2
Magnetic quantum critical points (QCPs) in strongly correlated electron systems, i.e. continuous phase transitions at absolute zero temperature, considerably attract both... -
Inelastic Neutron Scattering study on new tetragonal compound Ce2PdGe3
Cerium-based Kondo lattice compounds have received great attention, owing mostly to the variety of exotic ground states that they exhibit (e.g., unconventional... -
Temperature Dependence of the Magnetic Excitations in Ni-doped NaFeAs
In a recent work by Jun Zhao's group [Nature Communications 7, 12182 (2016)], they show that FeSe exhibits both stripe (1,0) and Néel (1,1) antiferromagnetic order, with the... -
