Correlated local structure distortions in the family of high-temperature supe...
This proposal follows from a short previous test experiment (RB 920345) aimed at understanding the nature of local structure distortions in YBa2Cu3O6.9 and their possible role... -
Local magnetic structures of YBCO high-Tc superconductors from neutron total ...
Understanding high-temperature superconductivity is a major aim of condensed-matter science, which is of fundamental importance and may ultimately allow the design of materials... -
Spin excitations in the pseudogap region of YBCO6.5 Ortho-II Superconductor
We propose to investigate the spin dynamics in the Ortho-II order YBCO6.5 superconductor at energies above 100 meV. This study will be aimed at searching for the broadening of... -
The mechanism of cuprate superconductivity investigated in CLBLCO single crys...
Although high quality single crystals of cuprate superconductors have been available for quite some time, comparing the properties of different crystals often raised more... -
Charge ordering in Ortho-VIII YBCO
The relationship between spin and charge correlations (stripes) continues to be one of the major issues in high temperature (cuprate) superconductivity. Under some circumstances... -
Local structure / electronic-structure relationships in functional materials
This proposal is a low-cost/high-gain first step in an ambitious project: namely, to develop a combined neutron scattering and electronic structure calculation approach as a... -
MuSR search for fluctuating loop currents in cuprates
The origin of the pseudogap region below a temperature T* is at the heart of the mysteries of high-Tc cuprate superconductors.The proposed broken time-reversal and inversion... -

Internal stresses in superconducting bulk magnets studied by in situ neutron ...
Bulk high temperature superconductors are useful for permanent magnet applications because they can generate much stronger magnetic fields than ferromagnets and are more compact... -
Structure and dynamics of quartz-like metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)
As part of an ongoing effort to understand the underlying physics of MOFs, we propose to study the local structure and dynamics in two quartz-like systems: indium deuterium... -
