Perovskite oxynitrides represent an emerging class of materials suitable for novel applications in the fields of energy conversion, storage and so on. Nitrogen substitution for... -
Investigation of Ca10Cr7O28 - Quantum spin liquid based on a novel frustratio...
We wish to continue our investigation of the quantum magnet Ca10Cr7O28. This material consists of distorted kagome bilayers of spin-1/2 Cr5+ ions where ferromagnetic and... -
Reinvestigation of hydrogen bonds using perdeuterated cellulose Iβ
The hydrogen bonding of cellulose I structure will be revisited using perdeuterated samples. Previously we proposed a hydrogen bond disorder in native cellulose based on neutron... -
Pressure-induced demicellization of PNIPAM-based micelles
We are interested in the pressure dependence of micelles in aqueous solution based on poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide). Linear precipitated PNIPAM-based chains showed a... -
Polyelectrolytes chain conformation under confinement: electrostatic effects ...
The conformation of polyelectrolytes in confined geometries is expected to be perturbated by the existence of charges inside the pore at the wall surface. Here we propose to... -
Minuscule ligand-field perturbations in lanthanide single-ion magnets
This project aims ultimately at understanding the properties of magnetic molecules adsorbed on surfaces. However, due to lack of structural information on surface adsorbed... -
Optimization of pressure-cell for polarization analysis on D7
The XYZ polarization analysis is suitable to study the possible presence of short range antiferromagnetic correlations on a sample. If these correlations appear under high... -
Measurement of the Proton Asymmetry C in Neutron Beta Decay
Within the Standard Model of particle physics only two parameters, the first element of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix Vud and the ratio of coupling constants lambda are... -
Nanostructured ionic block copolymers as a promising alternative to Nafion me...
We propose to investigate the nanostructure of a new class of polymer electrolyte membranes for fuel cells. We have synthesized ionic block copolymers as an alternative to the... -
Toward real-space studies of magnetic correlations
We have recently derived the foundational equations for magnetic pair distribution function (mPDF) analysis, a novel approach to studying short-range magnetic correlations by... -
Molecular Interaction of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) inside Silica and ...
Silica and hybrid silica xerogels with synthesis of vapochromic complexes are used as fiber-optic sensors (FOS) to analyze volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Most of the FOS are... -
Small Ag-PA Aggregates in Re-entrant Phase
Cations interacting specifically with anionic polyacrylates (PA) typically cause precipitation thresholds at stoichiometric amounts of cations per anionic residue. Contrary to... -
Investigation of the low energy correlated state of SrDy2O4
We propose to measure the diffuse scattering the in the novel quantum magnet SrDy2O7 on D7. Neutron powder scattering and inelastic measurements indicate that the system has 1D... -
Surface Morphology Transitions of Pluronic P85
We propose to use the new GI-SANS set-up on FIGARO to complete surface morphology diagram of the liquid/air interface of Pluronic P85 with temperature. P85 forms a variety of... -
Microscopic diffusion of hydrogen molecules in ice clathrate under high pressure
Hydrogen hydrate is a non-stoichiometric inclusion compound encaging H2 molecules in a framework of hydrogen bonded water molecules. It has attracted considerable attention over... -
A SANS Study of the Shear-Induced Orientational Order of the Nematic Phase of...
SANS will be used to investigate the shear-induced alignment of the nematic phase of amyloid fibrils formed by designed octapeptides. The octapeptides will included sequenced... -
Interconnecting charged microemulsion droplets via oppositely charged polyele...
By adding oppositely charged polyelectrolyte to ionic oil-in-water (O/W) microemulsions a network of microemulsion droplets is formed that is interconnected by electrostatic... -
