Hard-Axis Ordering in Ferromagnetic CeAgSb2
We propose to study the low-energy spin fluctuations in ferromagnetic metal CeAgSb2. The ordered moment is oriented away from the direction favored by the lattice. Recent... -
A Time-Resolved SANS Study of the Gelation Mechanisms of Tetrapeptide Hydroge...
Time-resolved SANS will be used to investigate the mechanisms and kinetics of ordering of aseries of novel designed tetrapeptide-based hydrogelators. These inexpensive materials... -
Evaluating the effect of cyclic plasticity on creep using a novel crystal pla...
In power generation plants, many critical components are subjected to complex tension-compression cyclic loading followed by long-term creep dwells. While uniaxial creep... -
Internal phase strain evolution during high temperature deformation of model ...
Alpha-beta Ti and Zr alloys are an important class of high strength alloys used in aerospace and nuclear power generation. They are unique in that their mechanical properties... -
Magnetic excitations in mesoporous hematite
We have recently prepared mesoporous forms of various metals oxides. In some cases the imposition of a mesostructure changes other properties of the material significantly. One... -
Magnetic excitation in Sr2IrO4 : Establishing links to Cuprate superconductors
The strontium iridate Sr2IrO4 has recently received a special attention because of its closeresemblance to undoped high-Tc cuprate in terms of structural, electronic, and... -
Search for molecular quantization of spin and lattice excitations in the geom...
Geometric frustration is widely accepted as a paradigm to bring out a novel paramagnetic state. Quasielastic paramagnetic scattering has been studied by neutron scattering so... -
Effects of Chiral Components on the Structure of Deep Eutectic Solvents
Deep eutectic solvents (DES) are novel liquids composed of inexpensive components, and are non-flammable, with a low volatility. One problem with DES is frequently their... -
Temperature dependence of spin dynamics near quantum criticality in an Ising ...
This proposal is part of our research programme to explore the interplay of thermal and quantum fluctuations near zero-temperature quantum phase transitions. Here we apply for a...
