Rattling modes in new thermoelectrics
NaxCoO2 has an exceptional combination of thermoelectric properties, including low thermal conductivity, and it is currently under consideration for use in power recovery and as... -
Magnetic excitations in single-crystals of LaFeAsO
We aim to determine the magnetic excitation spectrum in single-crystals of the parent LaFeAsO compound and thereby address some basic issues concerning the nature of the... -
High-energy spin excitations in the optimally doped Ba0.67K0.33Fe2As2
From our previous data on BaFe2As2 and BaFe1.9Ni0.1As2, one may assume that the superconductivity only affects the low energy excitations. But for Ba0.67K0.33Fe2As2, the doping... -
Doping Dependence of the Resonant Spin Excitation in Ba1-xKxFe2As2
We recently observed a resonant spin excitation in Ba0.6K0.4Fe2As2, one of the newly discovered iron arsenide superconductors with Tc=38K, on MERLIN. This demonstrates that the... -
Magnetic excitations at the critical pseudogap point, p=0.19, in La2-xSrxCuO4
We propose to measure the spin excitation spectrum in cuprate superconductor, La2-xSrxCuO4 (LSCO) at x=0.19. Our aim is to resolve the doping dependence of the 18 meV spin... -
Search for magnetic fluctuations and a spin resonance in FeSe intercalated wi...
Very recently, bulk superconductivity has been found at Tc = 43 K in the layered compound FeSe intercalated with Li ions and amide and ammonia molecular groups. We propose to... -
Role of interstitial oxygen ordering on the spin excitation of Pr2-xSrxNiO4+d
Dynamics of charge and spin stripe in 214-type nickelets (La2-xSrxNiO4+d) have been investigated intensively in last two decades as similar electronic ordering was found in... -
Inelastic neutron scattering of non-Fermi-liquid behaviour in Ce2PdIn8
For non-Fermi liquid compounds, the dynamical susceptibility, as determined from inelastic neutron scattering, is particularly interesting as it exhibits universal energy... -
The application of INS to examine a Fischer-Tropsch-to-Olefin catalyst that h...
In conjunction with an industrial partner (Sasol Technology UK), the applicants have previously used INS measurements performed on the MAPS spectrometer to characterize a series... -
Effect of Anelasticity on Creep Behaviour
Nuclear power generation plants undergo start-up/shut-down load-temperature cycles during service operation. Components operating at temperatures in the creep regime can exhibit... -
To measure full three-dimensional spin wave of BiFeO3 single crystal
Of all multiferroic materials, BiFeO3 stands out particularly with its both magnetic and ferroelectric transition temperatures above room temperatures, and more interestingly... -
High Energy Spin Excitations in Electron Overdoped NaFe0.7Ni0.3As
The interplay between magnetism and superconductivity in iron-based high-temperature superconductors are of great interest in condensed matter physics research. These two... -
Incommensurate magnetic fluctuation in KFe2As2 at high energy
We clearly observed incommensurate (IC) magnetic excitation in KFe2As2 above Tc with Ei=80 mev on ARCS at ORNL. Though we got beam time at LET, we wish to see how the IC changes... -
Finite temperature intraband magnon scattering in the Haldane chain compound ...
The spin-1 antiferromagnetic chain (or Haldane chain) is a model system which was predicted by Duncan Haldane to have gapped magnon excitations due to an underlying topological... -
Resolving the crystal field scheme for Dy3+ in DyNiAl4
The intermetallic series RNiAl4 (R = rare earth) exhibit interesting low temperature magnetic behaviour including a variety of (in)commensurate magnetic phases and metamagnetic... -
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of lemongrass, garlic, guava and lemon
The volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the test plants were analysed using coupled gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) on an Agilent Technologies 7890A GC linked to a...
