We intent to characterize the Single Event Effects produced by muons in state-of-the-art systems. We will focus on FPGAs, measuring the induced error rate on both the SRAM...

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) are promising candidates for building integrated photovoltaics. The use of multiple dyes simultaneously, co-sensitization, promises improved...

Greases used in harsh radioactive environments are showing microstructural damages. These defects cause changes in the physical and chemical properties of materials, which in...

We are studying asphaltene behavior in multiple solvent environments to investigate the key motives behind polyaromatic hydrocarbon self-aggregation. We have found that 1-...

Small-sized metal nanoparticles (NPs) are of long standing interest to both magnetism and heterogeneous catalysis. Recent µSR studies of bare Au NPs encapsulated in mesoporous...

Ammonium bromide undergoes a pressure-induced order-disorder transition, where the disordered (plastic) phase is thought to consist of a random distribution of ammonium cations...

The spin Seebeck effect is a newly discovered phenomenon that if harnessed, could result in a significant improvement of the efficiency of thermoelectric energy generators. Spin...

Mg-sulfate 11-hydrate (meridianiite) is decomposed by pressure to form Mg-sulfate 9-hydrate + ice, a process that will occur in the mantles of large icy planetary bodies and...

We propose to measure the neutron diffraction pattern of a single crystal sample of SrEr2O4, using the WISH diffractometer. As the magnetic Er ions in this compound are linked...

The structures of two binary metal carbonyls containing a metal-metal bond Mn2(CO)10 and Re2(CO)10 will be studied as a function of pressure. Both these molecules undergo a...

PbCoO3 used to be the “missing link” in the PbMO3 perovskite series. PbCoO3 was recently synthesized by the Azuma group using high-pressure synthesis at 12 GPa. NPD at JPARC...

Hydroxyl radicals may be used as disinfection agent in the advanced oxidation processes or tertiary treatment of waste and occasionally drinking water. In this exploratory work,...

The Earth¿s climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and optical properties, important climatic effects....

We propose to study the effect of pressure and temperature on the crystal structure and the elasticproperties of lead selenide, an important material for conversion of waste...

We have developed a method to measure carrier recombination lifetime in crystalline silicon with the photo-muSR technique. The key of the method is to measure the dependence of...

Ionic liquids are of interest to chemistry and material sciences because of their designerproperties. The protic ionic liquids are excellent proton carriers in fuel cell...

Oxidation of atmospheric aerosol can produce cloud condensation nuclei capable of changing the reflectivity and lifetime of clouds. The oxidation of organic film on atmospheric...

ALC is the best technique to characterize muoniated radicals, that are produced by muonium bonding to unsaturated bonds in molecules. Good agreement between data from ALC and...

Ionic liquids are of interest to chemistry and material sciences because of their designer properties. The protic ionic liquids are excellent proton carriers in fuel cell...

In orbitally degenerated triangular system it is predicted that orbital ordering and associated local magnetic trimerization to remove frustration. In BaV10O15 lattice...
