One fundamental issue in the iron-based superconductors is whether the conventional local moment Heisenberg model is sufficient to describe magnetism in these materials, or...

A detailed study of the temperature and compositional variation of defect structure in doped bismuth tantalates is proposed. Tantalum doping into Bi2O3 can achieve d-phase...

Neutron spin resonance mode is a common feature in different classes of magnetic superconductors; nonetheless, the microscopic origin of the mode is still unclear. In general,...

The recent discovered iron pnictide superconductor which shows a transition temperature up to 50K has drawn much attention in the community. There are indications that...

There has been significant interest in the oxide ion conducting material La2Mo2O9 as a new electrolyte after initial reports of conductivity as high as that of YSZ at lower...

The stability regime of the oxide ion conductor delta-Bi2O3 is limited to a narrow temperature range just below its melting point. Substitution of Bi3+ by a variety of isovalent...

Multiferroics are promising candidates for faster and cooler electronics. Due to the intrinsic incompatibility between the ferromagnetic (FM) and ferroelectric (FE) phases, it...

Hollow nanoparticles (HNP) have been successfully used for encapsulation and controlled release of biochemicals such as drugs, DNA, and dyes. However no in-situ method has been...

Titanium Matrix Composites have received intensive attentions in the past decade because of their high specific stiffness and strength and resistance to high temperature....

Aliphatic polyesters are the most attractive candidates for biodegradable polymers. To improve their physical properties while maintaining biodegradability, incorporating...

We propose to study the spin wave excitations of nonsuperconducting single crystal Pr0.88LaCe0.12CuO4 (PLCCO). Previous experiments on superconducting PLCCO have shown that spin...

In this work we will study a novel block copolymers consisting of a linear cationic block and uncharged bottle-brush block having 45 units long poly(ethylene oxide) side chains....

Neutron spin resonance mode is a common feature in different classes of magnetic superconductors; nonetheless, the microscopic origin of the mode is still unclear. In general,...

Stabilised bismuth oxides are of interest as intermediate temperature solid electrolytes for a variety of electrochemical device applications. Lead doping into bismuth yttrate...

There has been recent interest in the use of cermets based on stabilised delta bismuth oxide based solid electrolytes as cathodes in solid oxide fuel cells. It has been shown...

We ask for 3 days of beam time on Inter/SURF to study the adsorption and adlayer characteristics of avidin on Ti surfaces, relevant for biomedical applications, such as...

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...

Since the discovery of high transition temperature (high Tc) copper oxide, many efforts have been made on the understanding of its electronic and magnetic properties. Although...

Metallic materials are widely used in industry. It is now classical to develop numerical simulation for their manufacturing processes in finite transformation and this is...
