Recently we have investigated the cubic compound PrRhSn3 using the dc and ac susceptibilities and the heat capacity. We found an evidence for the cluster-glass behavior with a...

Fischer-Tropsch (FT) catalysts offer a route to the production of fuels and chemicals from synthesis gas, which has a number of sources. This reaction is likely to play a key...

CeFe2Al10 belongs to the CeT2Al10 family (T: Ru, Os, Fe), which exhibits Kondo-insulator properties, with an unusual competition of strongly anisotropic crystal-field and...

The spin-chain systems with general formula A¿3ABO6, crystallizing in the K4CdCl6 type structure has attracted a lot attention in recent years due to geometrical frustration...

This is a resubmitted proposal in a new project on water purification by membrane distillation. With this technology liquid water is excluded from passing the separating...

A new material, Ba2LuMoO6, has been proposed to be an example of a valence bond glass. It bears numerous similarities in bulk measurements to Ba2YMoO6, which was the first...

The appearance of non-dispersive Einstein (¿rattling¿) modes, known as the phonon-glass paradigm in filled-skutterudite compounds, has been postulated as an origin of the high...

The proposed quasi elastic neutron scattering experiment at ISIS aims at the characterization of the dynamical properties of the series of coordination complexes Pr(BH4)3·nNH3,...

Water is crucial for the functioning of proteins. There has been substantial work to study the effect of water on protein dynamics, structure and function. However, how protein...

We wish to measure the partial dynamical structure factors and the partial vibrational density of states (VDOS) for the archetypal network forming glass GeSe2 by using the...

Neutron scattering is one of the few experimental techniques that can directly determine the state of confined H2 molecules in microporous solids. In this proposal, we seek to...

We propose to investigate the magnetic excitation spectra of tetravalent uranium ions in two isostructural, one-dimesional chains made up by aligned UM2 units, with M = Pt and...

With this experiment we aim to investigate the role of spin orbit coupling (SOC) in 4d transition metal oxides.In previous inelastic neutron scattering experiments on the parent...

Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) are new and exotic states of matter characterised by fractionalised excitations and macroscopically degenerate ground states. The S=1/2 kagome...

Several non-centrosymmetric heavy-fermion compounds have been reported to exhibit unconventional superconductivity (SC). For example, both CeRhSi3 and CeIrSi3 order...

The need to decarbon the energy economy is one of the greatest technological challenges mankind has ever faced. Gas hydrates offer new clean potential materials for hydrogen...

Cerium-based Kondo lattice compounds have received great attention, owing mostly to the variety of exotic ground states that they exhibit (e.g., unconventional...

Hybrid metal-organic perovskites are promising functional materials, but the complex interactions between organic cations and the framework surrounding them are difficult to...

In recent years there has been a large interest in geometrically frustrated magnetic systems, especially those with spins interacting on two-dimensional triangular lattices...

Organic-inorganic perovskites have recently been shown to be potentially efficient and inexpensive photovoltaics. These materials undergo a series of structural transitions and...
