We propose elastic neutron powder diffraction experiments on new perovskite antimonates (Ba,K)SbO3. Recently, we confirmed that heavily K doped antimonates become... -
Interactions of native vs. modified protamines with Gram-negative model biome...
Protamines are cationic antimicrobial peptides found commonly in the sperm cells of fish such as herring and salmon that are particularly active against food-borne Gram-negative... -
Magnetic Phase Separation in a Frustrated Antiferromagnet
Frustrated magnetic materials are interesting because they show unusual behaviour arising from a near-degeneracy of ground states. The magnetic order of MgCr2O4 - apparently... -
New apparatus for neutron diffraction under uniaxial pressure.
We propose to test new apparatus for the magnetic neutron diffraction under uniaxial pressure on WISH diffractometer. The main feature of our apparatus is that the sample is not... -
