Determining the material time of an aging metallic glass - relation of dynami...
Glasses are off-equilibrium materials that slowly relax towards their meta-stable equilibrium state, which is referred to as physical aging. Physical aging is known to be a... -
Coupling oxidation state and catalyst stability during pulsed electrochemical...
Electrochemical CO2 reduction (eCO2R) is a promising pathway to convert detrimental CO2 emissions into sustainable chemicals. The use of gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs) fed by... -
In situ study of the reactivity of Calcium Carbonate polymorphs and aluminosi...
To pursue the 2050 global Net Neutrality goal, cement industry (producing the most used material worldwide but also emitting about 6% of the global CO2) has to find... -
Histatins: Saliva proteins with important functions for our innate immune system
This study will focus on the Histatins (Hst), a family of saliva proteins that act as a first line of defence of our innate immune system and possess... -
Life and death beneath the Ordovician seafloor: synchrotron light on the uniq...
The aim of the proposal is to carry out propagation phase contrast synchrotron microtomography to investigate a diversified association of fossils with the unique ‘Rokycany... -
Monitoring the effect of metal compositions on the short- and long-range dyna...
Structural dynamic in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has a dramatic impact on their CO2 adsorption properties. An understudied approach to induce this dynamic behavior is... -
Understanding irradiation assisted hydrogen embrittlement using in situ BCDI.
This proposal describes the use of BCDI at the ID01 beamline to understand the radiation-assisted hydrogen embrittlement (HE) mechanism in Fe and Fe-Cr model single crystals,... -
Following dislocation structures at a penetrable grain boundary during cyclic...
This proposal aims at investigating the 3D damage evolution during first stage fatigue near a penetrable grain boundary in micron-sized copper cantilevers. To do so, we will... -
Unveiling Copper Adaptation Mechanisms in Bacteria: Insights from Bufferin-Co...
A necessary metal that is toxic in excess, copper induces adaptive responses in bacteria. Bacterial resistance or tolerance to this agent has thus become a problem in healthcare... -
CombiMet : Combinatorial metallurgy : high throughput mapping in time and com...
The design space of alloys encompasses composition and processing parameters. Exploring the link between these and the microstructure, which control properties, allows feeding... -
Unveiling Charge Order Beyond Superconductivity: RIXS in Zn-doped YBCO
Charge density waves (CDW) and fluctuations (CDF), are diffusively present in cuprate high-Tc superconductors (HTS) and experimental evidence points toward their influence in... -
A combined XAS/XES investigation of photochemically-driven water capture and ...
Water scarcity is one of the key contemporary environmental issues. Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as unique materials for atmospheric water harvesting even at... -
RIXS study of spontaneously forming superstructures in the thiospinel CuIr2S4
The thiospinel CuIr2S4 is discussed as an outstanding example for the spontaneous formation of complex superstructures (octamers) below a metal-insulator transition. The... -
Monitoring dehydration reactions in natural serpentinite assemblages at subdu...
Deserpentinisation in subduction zones has potential implications regarding seismicity, contribution to arc volcanism or the coupling/decoupling transition between slab and... -
Redox state of magma ocean set by core-mantle equilibration
This proposal aims at constraining the redox state in quenched experiments representative for the Earth’s magma ocean using the Fe2+/Fe3+ ratio measured by synchrotron Mössbauer... -
Chemical HPHT route to Mg-C-BN nanocomposites by decomposition of magnesium c...
Magnesium carbides Mg2C3 and Mg2C are high pressure compounds that can be obtained from the mixtures of elements at HPHT conditions using large-volume multianvil apparatuses.... -
Photostrictive properties of ferroelectric GeTe epitaxial thin films with sub...
The possibility of using light to control complex systems on ultra-short timescales provides a powerful tool to probe fundamental phenomena in solid state physics and is... -
Unveiling the dynamic behavior of redox-active Cu/SrTiO3 catalysts for CO2 co...
The goal of this project is to pin down for the first time the type of sites on Cu/SrTiO3 formed during the catalyst(s) activation and their dynamics under conditions relevant... -
Investigating the interaction between SiC nanowhiskers and alpha-Mg dendrites...
SiC has long been the most widely recognised reinforcement for magnesium matrix composites (MgMC), yet the grain refinement mechanisms of SiC nanowhiskers (SiCnw) are still not... -
