Crystallographic and Magnetic structures of PrMn7O12
The study of novel manganites, where the tailoring of the Mn formal valence state on the B site is done by the ordering of different cations on the A site of the ABO3 (B:Mn)... -
4f electronic states of the filled skutterudite compound PrFe4Sb12 synthesize...
Crystals of the filled skutterudite PrFe4Sb12 with the 73~87% Pr-site filling fractions prepared under ambient pressure show some magnetic ordering around 5 K and their... -
Cation substitution in synthetic meridianiite (MgSO4.11H2O): site distributio...
MgSO4.11H2O (MS11) is the most highly hydrated phase in the binary MgSO4¿H2O system. Whilst lower hydrates in this system have end-member analogues containing alternative... -
Designing polymer therapeutics to diffuse through mucin
Progress in the development of nano-sized hybrid therapeutics and nano-sized drug delivery systems - "nanomedicines" - over the last decade has been remarkable. One key... -
Muonium Defect Levels in 4H Silicon Carbide
We propose to obtain the temperature dependence of the diamagnetic spin-precession amplitudes up to 1100 K for the three electrical types of 4H-SiC in order to extract the Mu... -
Identification of Hidden Coins from an Egyptian site
The application of neutron based techniques in the field of archaeology is quite recent. In particular, the development of neutron tomography and its application on cultural... -
Structural Phase Characterisation of Iron Stone Objects from the Excavation s...
We propose to determine the mineral phase composition in 15 iron stone samples from the Tall Bazi excavation site in Syria. The results of this investigation will be compared... -
O/N-distribution in host lattices for rare-earth doped phosphors in light emi...
Nitridosilicates and oxonitridosilicates (sions) gain more and more importance as host lattices for rare-earth doped phosphors in light emitting diodes. By means of... -
Cation site disorder in KTiOPO4 isostructures
KTiOPO4 (KTP) is a well known non-linear optical material. Its crystal structure has highly asymmetric Ti-O bonds, a rigid TiO6-PO4 lattice and K cations trapped in cages. The...
