Magnetic structures of antiferromagnetic heavy fermion CeAuAl3 and CeCuAl3 co...
CeAuAl3 and CeCuAl3 compounds crystallize in the tetragonal I4mm, BaNiSn3-type and display interesting bulk properties. Here we propose to investigate the magnetic structures of... -
Insulator to metal transition in TiOCl at high pressures
We propose to study the high temperature structure of TiOCl where a pressure induced metal to insulator transition has been reported recently by Kuntscher et al.Due to our... -
Investigation of the impact of mechanical twinning on the thermal expansion b...
We request three days of beam-time on POLARIS to investigate the influence of thermally-induced twinning on the thermal expansion behaviour of polycrystalline calcite.... -
Short range magnetic order in the compositionally modulated Bi2Cr4/3Ni2/3O6 p...
It is particularly challenging to synthesize a novel multiferroic material as it seems that the mechanisms that allow ferromagnets and ferroelectrics to work are mutually... -
Short range order in triglycine sulphate above the phase transition temperature
We want to better understand the intermolecular interactions in deuterated triglycine sulphate (DTGS). DTGS is a hydrogen bonded ferroelectric with a second-order, order... -
A study of the induced magnetism in Pd-Ni nanoparticles
Induced magnetic order in nominally non-magnetic materials due to the effect of proximity to magnetically ordered materials is a subject of great interest. There has been quite... -
BELLO: A post-processing tool for the local-order analysis of disordered systems
The characterization of the atomic structure of disordered systems, such as amorphous, glasses and (bio)molecule in solution, is a fundamental step for most theoretical...
