Ordered double perovskites (also known as elpasolites) have the general formula A2BB’O6 where A is generally a rare earth metal or alkaline earth metal and where B and B’ are...

The physics behind the evolution of exchange bias in systems with uniaxial magnetic anisotropy is of high scientific and technological importance. We show unexpected behaviour...

We use inorganic nanoparticles grafted with polymers as membranes for gas separation. These membranes show remarkable enhancement in permeability as compared to the bulk...

The proposed experiment addresses the dynamics of surfactants in amphiphile/water systems during the topological transition, with a focus on the membrane with non-lamellae...

Human hair has been studied by x-ray diffraction and electron microscopy for many years, however a complete picture of its structure is still missing. Hair is a weakly...

Solar cells based on a layer of halide perovskite have recently seen rapid increases in efficiency, with certified values in excess of 20%. The prototypical material of this...

Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is an anionic surfactant, extensively employed in cosmetics and personal care, as well as in pharmaceuticals and food products. Surfactants are...

Zaccai et al. proposed to build up a neutron Dynamics Data Bank which would be populated with dynamical data of biological macromolecules measured with different techniques,...

The mechanism of high temperature superconductivity (HTSC) remains unresolved. Of particular interest is the origin of the mysterious pseudogap (PG, a partial gap in the...

Water supports vital biochemical processes in living organisms, namely through maintenance of the three-dimensional architecture of biopolymers by a tight interplay with their...

We propose to measure the neutron diffraction pattern of a single crystal sample of SrEr2O4, using the WISH diffractometer. As the magnetic Er ions in this compound are linked...

The proposed experiment will focus on determining the level of texture memory and variant selection on both heating and cooling for steel and titanium and zirconium alloys with...

This proposal aims to exploit the superior flux on the upgraded HRPD coupled with the intrinsic high resolution to examine the differences between a sample of Sr2CoO2Cu1.85S2...

Cupric(II) oxide (CuO) has recently found to be both antiferromagnetic and ferroelectric in temperature region from 213 K to 230 K. This high temperature multiferroic material...

The structure and dynamics of water molecules in the presence of non-trivial confinement in porous systems has always created a lot of interest, both from an experimental and...

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...

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...

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...
