Neutron powder diffraction will be used to determine hydrogen position in Zintl phase hydrides and hydride oxide of the lanthanides. Zintl phase hydrides exhibit fascinating...

We intend to determine the nature of ionic conductivity and the pathways of thermally-induced diffusion in the inverse cubic perovskites BaLiX3 (X = H, D, F). To this end,...

The natural mineral linarite PbCuSO_4(OH)_2 has been characterized as a frustrated quantum spin chain system, with a nearest-neighbor ferromagnetic coupling J_1~100K along a...

Perovskite TbMO3 (M=Fe, Mn) have shown many interesting magnetic properties, e.g., multiferroics in TbMnO3, spin soliton lattice in TbFeO3. Their solid solution TbMn1-xFexO3...

The goal of the proposed experiment is to study the local structural changes in metal-organic frameworks (class CAU) during and after hydrogen sorption processes. MOFs are known...

In the system Ni1-xCuxCr2O4 competing Jahn-Teller distortions combined with geometrical frustration give rise to a rich phase diagram as a function of x(Cu) and temperature. Now...

The search for new thermoelectric (TE) oxides has been driven by the discovery of high figures of merit ZT in complex layered cobaltates such as Na(x)CoO2 or Ca3Co4O9. Relying...

PrMnO3 is an C-type antiferromagnet, where the Mn sublattice orders into a muMn = (Cx, Fy ,0) magnetic structure below TN = 95.9(3) K. PrFeO3 is a ferromagnet in which the Fe...

The ternary semimetal CuMnAs is a half-Heusler alloy with antiferromagnetic order [1, 2] and it crystallizes orthorhombically in the space group Pnma (No. 62) Antiferromagnetic...

BaCd(VO)(PO4)2 is an ideal system to study the interplay between geometric frustration and quantum magnetism on a square lattice. It is suggested that BaCd(VO)(PO4)2 hosts a...

Nanostructured materials are very promising for technological applications such as sensors, magnetic recording technology and magnetic liquids for drug delivery, hence driving...

CsO2 is the most interesting of the alkali superoxides. It shows a remarkable variation in the magnetic exchange coupling J(T) of over 50%. An orbital ordering transition occurs...

Recently, our group reported, for the first time, the in situ nucleation and growth of Ag NPs on the surface of some silver compounds, such as Ag2WO4, Ag2MoO4 and Ag3PO4, driven...

Cu2ZnGeSe4 (CZGSe) and Cu2ZnGeS4 (CZGS), which contain only earth abundant elements, are promising materials for thin film solar cell devices with efficiencies of 8.4 % (CZGSe)....

We suggest to study the field-induced magnetic phases in MnWO4 single crystal in fields along the easy magnetization direction (approximately along the [2 0 1]). This system...

The formation of the empty clathrate-hydrate structure is of prime interest in gas hydrate research. This phase can be obtained by pumping out the small guest molecules from the...

The rich physics of 5d iridates unveiled in recent years (especially kitaev magnetism, weyl semimetals, and metal-insulator transitions assisted by strong spin-orbit coupling)...

In this proposal we suggest to study the field dependence of two inelastic signals observed in the pure URu2Si2 at the antiferromagnetic zone center Q0 = (1 0 0) and at...

It has recently been suggested that in addition to the widely accepted order-by-disorder mechanism, the psi_2 state observed in Er2Ti2O7 is influenced by virtual fluctuations of...
