Magnetic excitation in O2 supercrystal realized in nanoporous compound
We propose to perform neutron scattering experiment in a new field of science, magnetic O2 molecule supercrystal realized in nanoporous compound. In our previous work on... -
Aza-crown-stabilized Alkali-Alkalide Systems: Solvent and metal effects on di...
We request 4 days on IRIS to investigate the diffusional and rotational dynamics of the alkalide forming, fully methylated aza-crown hexamethyl-hexacyclen (HMHC) in... -
Multiferroic (Ferroelastic/Magnetic) Phase Transitions in KMnF3
KMnF3 perovskite undergoes 3 structural, and two magnetic phase transitions on cooling from 300 K to 2 K. Above 185 K the compound is in the aristotype structure, on cooling... -
Order-disorder and phase transitions in the LiFeO2 cathode materials
Despite the importance of the LiFeO2 phases as cathode materials in lithium ion batteries, little is known about their crystal structures, except that they should be based on... -
Anomalous spin diffusion in 2D percolating magnet
This proposal is to observe single-spin diffusive motion on a two-dimensional (2D) percolating network having a fractal geometry. The random walker¿s travel times on a... -
Molecular dynamics and melting in CH3NH3PbCl3:
The organic-inorganic perovskites (CH3NH3Pb(Br,Cl,I)3) have been identified as efficient photovoltaic materials. Theoretical calculations have suggested that the low energy... -
Proton dynamics in novel organic ferroelectric materials
The vast majority of known ferroelectrics are inorganic compounds such as barium titanate and potassium dihydrogen phosphate. Contrary to naïve expectation, ferroelectricity in... -
Negative thermal expansion in the rutile phase of ZnF2
It has recently been discovered than the rutile phase of zinc fluoride shows negative thermal expansion along all three crystallographic axes. What is highly unusual about this...
