Structural study of the higher oxidation states of the nickel positive electrode
Although the first patents involving the nickel positive electrode are more than 100 years old, our understanding of the phases involved in this system is still not complete. As... -
Study of non collinear magnetic states in GdCo/Si/Co/Si multilayers
We propose to study polarised neutron reflectivity from a GdCo/Si/Co/Si multilayers. Magnetic rare earth/transition metal (RE/TM) multilayers have been subject of considerable... -
Non-equilibrium kinetics in highly interacting polymer mixtures
We seek to investigate the non-equilibrium phenomena of a model polymer mixture by time-solved SANS and temperature jump experiments within (a) one-phase region and (b) one to... -
Surface layers in organosols
This research project addresses an overlooked, but fundamental issue of colloid science: surfactant adsorption dynamics at nanoparticle-organosolvent interfaces. Adsorption of... -
Neutron Powder Diffraction Experiments on Ternary Alkali Metal Palladium and ...
Na2PdC2 and Na2PtC2 are the first examples of ternary alkali metal transition metal acetylides. They were synthesized and structurally characterised by our group in 2001 based... -
Vibrational density of states in ammonium hexachlorometallates.
The piloting VESUVIO experiments RB820478, RB610497 on (NH4)2PdCl6 and (NH4)2TeCl6 and RB 10067 on (ND4)2PdCl6 have shown that: (i) the H/D dynamics in NH4+/ND4+ is largely... -
Muon states and diffusion in alkali halides
The diamagnetic states formed by muon implantation in alkali halides are to be characterised, and their diffusion studied, by means of RF final-state analysis. The 90° pulse... -
RF decoupling of the F-mu-F state
NMR has become an extremely sophisticated experimental technique because of the use of pulse sequences which allow the control and manipulation of a nuclear spin system or... -
Neutron reflection from 3He layer adsorbed on liquid 4He surface
More than four decades ago A. F. Andreev predicted theoretically the existence of quantum states of 3He atoms on free surface of liquid 4He . In other words, at low... -
Probing the products of free radical reactions in ionic liquids
Many room temperature ionic liquids (salts with melting points near room temperature that hereafter will be referred to as ionic liquids) are ¿green solvents¿ for chemical... -
Arrested states of clay-water suspensions
The unprecedented simultaneous accessibility of the low and high Q region available on NIMROD allows to tackle the issue of ageing of colloidal systems from the point of view of... -
Study of canted magnetic states in GdCo/Si/Co/Si multilayers
Magnetic rare earth/transition metal (RE/TM) multilayers have been a subject of considerableinterest in recent years, given the antiferromagnetic exchange coupling between RE... -
High frequency optic-like mode and vibrational density of states in ionic liq...
We propose a comparative study of the high-frequency optic-like mode and Boson peak modes observed in the vibrational density of states (DOS) in the glass phase of the two model... -
Structural distortions and magnetism in the layered oxide sulfide Sr2MnO2Cu1.5S2
This proposal aims to exploit the superior flux on the upgraded HRPD coupled with the intrinsic high resolution to correlate the magnetic structure and the crystal structure of... -
Investigation of short range magnetic correlations in CeIr3Si2 using SR
CeIr3Si2 reveals highly anisotropic bulk properties with two magnetic transitions at TN1 ~ 3.9 K and TN2 ~ 3.1 K. The overall crystal electric field (CEF) splitting of the J=5/2... -
Structure of beta-Mo2N in the normal and superconducting states; an in-situ r...
A recent experiment (RB820171) unexpectedly revealed that a sample of beta-Mo2N exhibited a number of extra reflections at 4 K; a temperature below the superconducting critical... -
The partial dynamical structure factors and vibrational density of states in ...
The object of this proposal is to measure the partial dynamical structure factors and the partial vibrational density of states (VDOS) for the archetypal network forming glass... -
High pressure evolution of magnetic state and crystal structure of Pr1-xCaxMn...
Recently insulator-metal transition in Pr0.7Ca0.3MnO3 was observed at P = 0.5 GPa, implying a change in magnetic ground state, which was initially a pseudo-CE AFM one. In later... -
Magnetic excitations in CrB2
CrB2, like MnB2, are transition metal diborides that have magnetically ordered ground states. Preliminary neutron (TAS) work and in house lab indicated that the dispersion has... -
