Thermoelectric devices are capable of converting thermal energy directly into electrical energy. The efficiency of a device is related to the characteristics of the materials of...

We have discovered a novel type of quantum spin liquid in a hexagonal lattice of Ru5+ dimers in Ba3ZnRu2O9, where any traces of the Curie tail or glassy behavior have not been...

Hydrogen spillover involves dissociation of molecular hydrogen at the surface of metals, particularly transition metals, followed by migration of the hydrogen atoms across the...

The family of guanadinium metal formates (M=Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu) are isostructural with the perovskites and are therefore of interest for potential applications: in particular,...

Hybrid lead perovskites have received much attention over the past decade since they have potential applications in optoelectronic devices and solar cells. Although most devices...

There are very few genuine claims of materials that are ferroelectric and ferromagnetic at room temperature. In This proposal we will study both textured and non texture BaTiO3...

We propose continued study of the muonium emission from silica aerogel using Muonium Spin Rotation (MuSR) following success of the proof-of-principle measurement. This time, we...

The family of centropolyindanes are created by edge-wise fusing of the cyclopentane ring of several indane units (D. Kuck, Chemical Reviews 2006, 106, 4885-4925)....

We have initiated a new research programme that seeks to correlate features of the crystal structures of energetic materials (explosives, propellants) with their sensitivities...

The discovery of unconventional superconductivity (SC) in several heavy fermion (HF) compounds has attracted considerable attention. Recently we have investigated CeTSi3 (T=Rh...

We propose to perform neutron diffraction experiments on single crystals, 3R-AgFeO2 and 2H-AgFeO2 on WISH. Recently, we have studied magnetic orderings and ferroelectricity of...

We propose to perform neutron diffraction experiment under high pressure condition, using a single crystal of CuO on WISH beamline. This monoxide is known as a multiferroic...

The development of high energy density and high efficiency hydrogen storage materials is widely considered to be one of the most challenging barriers to the adoption of fuel...

We are unravelling the solution structures of the Fab and Fc fragments in the IgA antibody family important in mucosal immunology. Having completed the structures for IgA...

During the operation of nuclear plants, several fission products are released. Among them, radioiodine is considered one of the most important due to its tendency to form...

The ammonia hydrates are important systems for the understanding of the hydrogen bond and for models of the outer solar system. This proposal is for beamtime to explore the...

The Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine (1998) was awarded for the finding that nitric oxide (NO) is a ubiquitous signalling molecule in the cardiovascular system. Its...

The single band Hubbard model is considerably the simplest effective model that includes both the delocalizing/hopping energy and the on-site interaction for describing strongly...

We plan to investigate by means of zero-field muSR the doping dependence of the sublatticemagnetization in La2Cu1-xZnxO4 and in La2Cu1-xMgxO4. In both systems Cu2+ S=1/2 spins...

Using high-temperature high-pressure synthetic methods we have recently prepared the new quadruple perovskite CaFe3Ti4O12. Curie-Weiss magnetic susceptibility and Mossbauer data...
