Temperature evolution of crystallographic parameters in tetragonal tungsten b...
A large group of materials are known to crystallize in the tetragonal tungsten bronze (TTB) structure, having the general formula A12A24C4B12B28O30. Depending on the chemistry... -
Local order and phonon dynamics in olivine at high temperatures
We aim to study temperature dependent local order phenomena and their influence on the phonon diffuse scattering in the mineral olivine. Olivine forms a solid solution series... -
The connectome of a living fossil: Amphioxus as a window to vertebrate brain ...
The structure of a neural circuit tightly constrains its function. Obtaining synaptic level connectomes is the first step towards understanding their physical implementation.... -
Multi-channel Kondo effect in graphene
We propose to perform X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) measurements on Mn-doped graphene, as an extreme model case of multi-channel Kondo effect, which in turn is one of... -
Adsorbate-induced phenomena at Pt- and Ru-based catalysts in liquid phase
The aim of this proposal is to investigate H2 and CO-induced phenomena occurring at Pt- and Ru-based catalysts by time-resolved XAS experiments in the liquid-phase. Previous... -
