The need for structural materials that can resist hydrogen assisted degradation becomes critical for the continuation of the development of the hydrogen economy. A new neutron...

We propose to investigate the evolution of the exchange spring (ES) in NdCo5/Fe and SmCo5/Fe with temperature and magnetic fields using polarized neutron reflectometry. The...

LiFePO4 (LFP) is a commercially used Li ion battery material for high power applications. Particle shape and surface play an important role in the Li diffusion and thus the...

In westernised societies, atherosclerosis and its clinical consequences such as heart disease and stroke constitute the leading cause of death. Thus, the prevention or...

The main target of the proposal is to determine the magnetic phase diagram of multi-ferroic compound TbMnO3 in extremely high magnetic fields around 30 T by using a pulsed...

FeNbSb-related compounds are a group of promising thermoelectric materials. Suppressing the lattice thermal conductivity through different phonon scattering mechanisms could...

This proposal requests 3 days on Maps to investigate the nature of local structure and proton sites in the proton conducting brownmillerite system Ba2In1.85M0.15O6H2 (M = In,...

The present scientific case concerns a glass-forming system with even less degrees of freedom, namely the occupational disorder of high-temperature phase (I, P21/c) of...

We propose to measure phonon density of states in LixFePO4 (x = 0.3, 0.6 and 1.0; three sample) from 300 to 1000 K to understand the role of lithium disorder with change in x...

We would measure vibrational spectra for Li2Si2O5 and Na2Si2O5, as well as quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) spectra for Na2SiO5. The measurement of phonon spectra over...

This proposal seeks to gain an understanding of the adsorption and desorption behaviour of a redox membrane protein, cytochrome c, in electrochemical cells using different anode...

Protein adsorption at solid-liquid interfaces plays a key role in biomedical technologies such as biosensors or biomaterials for medical implants. Despite considerable progress...

The high ionic conducting delta-phase of Bi2O3 can be stabilized at ambient temperature in a range of compositions, viz., (Bi1-xYx)2O3 (x=0.1 -0.5). We would measure inelastic...

We would measure vibrational spectra as well as quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) spectra for beta- alumina (11Al2O3-Na2O) and Na2Ti3O7. The measurement of phonon spectra...

We propose to measure the inelastic scattering S(Q,E) maps from gallium in its liquid phases across a wide range of temperatures. This proposal is based on a new prediction for...

Microwave (MW) assisted chemical reactions are of interest as a green, energy efficient alternative to conventional thermal heating for chemical processes. MW irradiation...

Despite the importance of the LiFeO2 phases as cathode materials in lithium ion batteries, little is known about their crystal structures. In the frame of our research project...

The present scientific case concerns a glass-forming system with even less degrees of freedom, namely the occupational disorder of high-temperature phase (I, P21/c) of...

The newly discovered AxFe2-ySe2 (A=K,Rb,Cs) compounds have attracted great interests because of their parent compounds are insulators instead of being metallic [2-6]....

The Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) compounds An+1BnO3n+1 exhibit a broad range of technologically interesting properties such as high-Tc superconductivity, colossal magnetoresistance,...
