Though showing peculiarities already in the bulk configuration, water subject to ultra-confinement in a non-polar cavity is susceptible to offer a significant amount of dynamic...

Imogolite nanotubes (INT) with the general formula (OH)3Al2O3SixGe1-x(OH) are formed by a curved gibbsite Al(OH)3 layer whose vacancies are bonded at the upright by isolated...

Conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) are a new class of materials within the molecular electronic materials family that are promising for solar energy conversion applications,...

Water in hydrophobic confinement is of general interest for industrial applications as well as the understanding of biological matter and more generally in the field of soft...

We propose an experimental plan to quantitatively characterize the in situ anisotropic pore structure evolution of coal and shale. For each sample, we will prepare two kinds of...

Discotic liquid crystals (DLC) are soft-matter materials which organize into columns that further assemble into two-dimensional arrays with a hexagonal mesophase. Highly ordered...

Known structural and dynamic peculiarities of bulk water get even enhanced when this substance is confined within geometries that make the H-bond network undergo severe...

Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) is a precursor to a wide range of biominerals. It is found highly hydrated in calcified tissues of marine organisms, and computational...

The phase diagram of confined water below 273 K is not only influenced by the confinement, but also by the presence of solutes or ions, the surface chemistry or the confining...

We propose a QENS study of the interfacial melting of the ice phases Ih, III, V, and VI at hydrostatic pressures up to 7 kbar. The thickness of the liquid-like interfacial layer...

We propose the first neutron diffraction measurements on AlPO4-54•xH2O at low temperature, in the temperature range of 10-300 K. AlPO4-54xH2O (hexagonal VFI structure,...

In this experiment we intend to study the magnetic excitation spectra of a series of Lanthanide based dimeric Single Molecule Magnets (SMMs). These complexes will be the first...

Within the large class of cooordination nanoparticles, particularly interesting for the development of molecular based bi-stable compounds, the prussian blue analogs (PBA) are...

We propose to perform complete low-spin spectroscopy of 64Ni by thermal neutron capture on a radioactive 63Ni target, a measurement never carried out before. According to Monte...

Complete low-spin spectroscopy of 62Ni by thermal neutron capture on a 61Ni target is proposed. State-of-the-art Monte Carlo Shell model calculations predict that the 62Ni...

We propose to identify the presence of double-octupole states in medium mass nuclei by measuring the decay pattern of the low-lying states in 150,152Sm populated in the...

The region of A=100 is a place where one can study experimentally the evolution of nuclear deformation in detail. We propose to study emergence and evolution of gamma...

In the present proposal, we aim to study the structure of the yrast excited states of neutron-rich nuclei in the vicinity of 78Ni. The focus is to study the states resulting...

We propose to investigate the shape coexistence and the Pygmy Quadrupole Resonance in the neutron-rich 118,120Sn nuclei through a high-statistics (n,g) measurement on enriched...

We propose to perform gamma-ray spectroscopy studies of 43-44-45Ca isotopes, populated via the 42-43-44Ca(n,gamma) thermal-neutron-capture reactions with the FIPPS instruments...
