Na-Dynamics in Solid Ionic Conductors: 11Al2O3-Na2O and Na2Ti3O7
We propose to measure the quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) spectra to study the diffusion dynamics in beta- alumina (11Al2O3-Na2O) and Na2Ti3O7. The measurement of QENS... -
Towards the development of carbonitrides as novel two-stage regenerable reage...
We are examining a number of cobalt-molybdenum carbonitrides as possible catalysts for reactions that produce nitrogen-containing organic molecules. There is good evidence that... -
Q-dependence of the single particle motion in a molten alkali halide
An inelastic X-ray investigation on the collective inelastic dynamics of molten NaCl revealed the remarkable result that the acoustic-like dynamics is similar to the dispersion... -
