Understanding the Earth's Core-Mantle Boundary: Crystal and Magnetic Structur...
The physical properties of the post-perovskite phase of MgSiO3 control the dynamics of the lower thermal boundary layer of the Earth¿s mantle, but many of these properties... -
Critical evidence for/against FLPs in metal oxides: Does H2 split on In2O3 Na...
The critical evidence for/against FLPs in metal oxides is to establish wheter an adsorbed H2 molecule becomes dissociated across adjacent In and O sites on the surface. To probe... -
Spin Frustration in a Novel Molecular FeIII_7 Propeller
The hepta-nuclear Fe(III) title compound Fe7 exhibits a unique antiferromagnetic exchange topology reminiscent of a three-bladed propeller, giving rise to spin frustration, also... -
Hydrogen diffusion in novel porous carbon materials for fuel cells
The performance of polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEMFC) is strongly dependent on the diffusion rate of hydrogen and the electron mobility, which in turn is strongly influenced... -
QENS studies of the interaction of propene with ZSM-5
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... -
Correlation of structure and magnetic ordering with composition in layered co...
We propose to use OSIRIS to determine the magnetic structures of a series of cobalt oxysulfides containing Co in square planar coordination. Several compositions... -
