This proposal is a continuation of RB1000003. The aim of the present experiment is to gain further insight into the mechanism of benzyl alcohol oxidation using supported Au-Pd...

The use of the J 0-to-1 rotational transition of dihydrogen has been extensively used to characterise the state if hydrogen in and on materials. The disadvantage of studying the...

We request 2 days on MAPS (or 3 days on MARI) to determine the extent of solvent segregation in a liquid-liquid phase-separated metal-amine: The Li-NH3-MeNH2 system. Recently we...

This proposal is about understanding the atomic-scale structure of complex oxides that contain water or protons and that are used as electrocatalyts for water splitting. Such...

Test of the NIMS low temperature pressure cell on WISH.

Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG) is a material with extremely wide ranging applications. It is a ferrimagnetic spinel with the narrowest ferromagnetic resonance linewidth of any known...

Hydrogen Storage still remains the technology bottleneck for a more widespread use of hydrogen. Solid complex hydrides such as amides, alanates and borohydrides have been...

We propose to study the spin wave excitations of nonsuperconducting single crystal Pr0.88LaCe0.12CuO4 (PLCCO). Previous experiments on superconducting PLCCO have shown that spin...

Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG) is a material with extremely wide ranging applications, having the narrowest ferromagnetic resonance linewidth of any known material. Despite decades...

We propose inelastic neutron scattering (INS) experiment on single crystal of the prototype topological insulator (TI), Bi2Se3, at MAPS to measure q-dependent joint-DOS, based...

SrCuO2 is a prototypical S = 1/2 antiferromagnetic (AF) Heisenberg 1D spin chain system. High-resolution neutron scattering studies has already successfully revealed the gapless...

The colossal magnetoresistance effect in manganites arises from a competition between delocalisation, which favours a ferromagnetic metallic phase, and localisation of electons...

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...

Though NaFeAs shares the same crystallographic structure with LiFeAs, there are many different aspects between them. We would like to compare the magnetic excitation in it with...

Oxides containing heavy transition-metal ions with four d electrons (d^4) surrounded by an octahedron of oxygen ions have recently been predicted to display a novel type of...

Heusler compounds are of great interest for various applications, since they are predicted to be half-metallic materials with full spin polarization of ~6.0 μB. However,...

Recently, our neutron scattering experiments on electron doped BaFe2-xNixAs2 and hole doped Ba1-xKxFe2As2 suggest that the presence of both high-energy spin excitations giving...

We have recently shown that acid washing of a carbon support prior to metal (Au, Pd) deposition enhances the activity of the resulting catalysts for the direct synthesis of...

The newly discovered AxFe2-ySe2 (A=K,Rb,Cs) compounds have attracted great interests because of their parent compounds are insulators instead of being metallic [2-6]....

The aim of the present proposal is to investigate the mechanism of CO oxidation over hydrous palladium oxide, both directly and indirectly. For the direct route, the sample will...
