High entropy alloys, as a new approach for alloy design, have attracted significant research efforts recently. One of the most promising candidates are CrMnFeCoNi and its... -
Magnetic and Structural Studies on Oxychalcogenides
In this proposal we request 3 days of beam time on HRPD to study the structures (both atomic and magnetic) of a variety of oxychalcogenide phases: La2O2Se2Fe2O, Ce2O2Se2Mn and... -
Local ordering in the pressure-induced order-disorder transition in ammonium ...
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... -
Martensite variant evolution of aged Co-Ni-Ga shape memory alloys
Pseudoelastic CoNiGa high-temperature shape memory alloys (HT-SMAs) show a wide range of tunable transformation temperatures and lower processing costs than conventional Ni-Ti-X... -
Structural Disorder in the Quantum Spin Liquid Candidate YbMgGaO4
Quantum spin liquids are novel magnetic states in which quantum entanglement suppresses conventional magnetic order. Understanding the effects that stabilise such states is an... -
Neutron diffraction and µSR investigation on YbPd
YbPd crystallizes in the cubic CsCl-type structure and reported to have magnetically ordered ground state with the mixed valence of the Yb ion. Further, it under goes through... -
The origin of ultra-low thermal conductivity in the thermal barrier material ...
Thermal barrier materials are used in modern turbines to enable them to run above the melting temperature of the turbine blades. However, to go to higher temperatures (and... -
High pressure charge transitions in PbCoO3
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... -

The structure dependence of BaCe0.8Y0.2O3-d (BCY-20), a leading proton conducting material, will be studied as a function of temperature and, critically, controlled atmosphere... -
Correlation of structural parameters with electrocaloric performance in (Ba,S...
Kay objectives: measurements of Ti-O bond lengths and Ti-O-Ti angles in a series of (Ba,Sr,Ca)TiO3 perovskites and correlate with the observed variation of Tcs of the FE-PE... -
Multiferroic (Ferroelastic/Magnetic) Phase Transitions in KMnF3
KMnF3 perovskite undergoes 3 structural, and two magnetic phase transitions on cooling from 300 K to 2 K. Above 185 K the compound is in the aristotype structure, on cooling... -
Solvation dynamics of the phosopholipid 1,2-dipropanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoc...
It is well known that water is the medium in which the overwhelming majority of biological processes take place. In cell membranes water molecules are thought to be essential to... -
Magnetic excitation in triangular latticce antiferromagnet alpha-CaCr2O4
The triangular Heisenberg antiferromagnet is the classic example of the frustrated magnet, here the ground state forms a non-collinear 120° structure. A number of different... -
INS Study of Deep Eutectic Solvents
Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs) are emerging as low-cost and environment-friendly solvents for industrial process. DESs are formed by the association of a hydrogen bond-capable... -

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... -
A High-Pressure investigation on 3,4,5-Trinitropyrazole
This proposal will explore the effect of elevated pressure on the 3,4,5-Trinitropyrazole (TNP). TNP releases a large amount of dinitrogen gas as a detonation product which is... -
Magnetic interactions in ferromagnetic topological insulator multilayer struc...
Topological insulators are one of the most important recent discoveries in condensed matter physics. The topological surface state can become gapped when ferromagnetic order is... -
