Influence of the cation disorder on the magnetic properties of underdoped cup...
We want to isolate the effects of doping, charge localization and local distortion on the transition from insulating antiferromagnet to superconducting metal in YBCO. We choose... -
Characterisation of superalloys strengthened by Co3Ti
One method by which the efficiency of gas turbine engines may be improved is by increasing the gas stream temperature on entry to the turbine. Currently this temperature is... -
Structural Investigation of Co-polymer and Comb-polymer Solid State Electroly...
This proposal regards studies of the structure and morphology of polymer electrolytes which can be used in Li-batteries. These electrolytes are effectively used in electric... -
Universal dynamics in liquid metals?
The dynamics of liquid aluminium will be measured at the structure factor maximum up to twice the melting temperature. We are searching for changes in dynamics which should... -
Elucidating sodium diffusion mechanisms in layered sodium transition metal ox...
Affordable large-scale energy storage systems with improved capacity are crucial to a sustainable energy future, and the great availability of Na in sea water makes Na-ion... -
Dynamics of an antimicrobial oligopeptide
Abstract. In experiments at LLB and ILL we have measured low-resolution INS spectra and elastic scans for H2O- and D2O-hydrated samples of a 15-residue oligopeptide between 30... -
Mechanical twinning in quartz rocks: in situ experiments at stress and during...
Previous experiments at ENGIN-X (Wenk et al. 2007) established that quartz rocks undergo mechanical twinning if stressed above 100 MPa. The amount of twinning is highly... -
Arctic Cloud Chemistry: Can the Halogen "explosion" oxidize material at air-w...
The Arctic climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in Arctic clouds affects droplet size and optical properties, important climatic... -
Non-destructive characterization of lunar and martian meteorites
The aim of the present work is to place the meteorites found on Earth back onto the Moon or planets from where it is assumed they come. In this context, to approach the above... -

Systematic Investigation of Magnetically Doped Toplogical Insulators
Topological insulators (TIs) are of inherent interest as they are conducting on the surface whilst insulating on the bulk. We would like to investigate magnetically doped... -
The mechanism of Oxygen Absorption/Desorption in YBaCo4O7+d (Y114) studied by...
An uncommon oxygen absorption/desorption behavior for cobalt oxide YBaCo4O7+d was found[Karppinen et al. Chem Mater 18 2006 490]. Y114 absorbs and desorbs oxygen up to d = 1.5... -
Multilayer surfactant adsorption onto cellulose surfaces
Studying surfactant and mixed surfactant adsorption on model solid surfaces, which mimic real surfaces such as fabrics, hair and skin, is starting to provide a real insight into... -
Phase-object approximation in neutron reflectometry
Recently De Haan et al. described the phase-object approximation for small angle neutron scattering. This method can be extended towards neutron reflectometry. Prelimenary... -
Kondo temperature of YbInCu4 as function of pressure and substitution
Via chi¿¿(Q,E) we aim to investigate the dependence of the Kondo temperature TK of YbInCu4 on external pressure and substitution. YbInCu4 undergoes a first-order isostructural... -
Non invasive characterization through time of flight neutron diffraction of t...
In order to extend our level of knowledge towards Oriental Arms and Armour, we have selected five samples specifically smelted, forged, characterized, and traded by Hitachi... -
Crystallographic determination of the minting of coins in Tudor Britain : an ...
King Henry VIII's flagship, the Mary Rose, offers a unique insight into Tudor life. As well as her value as one of the first purpose built warships of the modern period,... -
Investigation of excitonic physics in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules
The MuSES project currently ongoing in the HiFi spectrometer gives unique opportunity in the field of photochemistry and photophysics of organic molecules. After two successful... -
Tunneling effect of hydrogen and deuterium in alpha-Mn
DINS is capable of observing coherent tunneling of protons in a double well potential through the effects of the tunneling on the momentum distribution of the protons. In our... -
Study of the multi-gap phenomena in SrTiO$_3$
We intend to perform the magnetic field penetration depth \lambda measurements on theoxygen reduced and Nb-doped SrTiO_3 -- the first oxide superconductors where two-gap...
