Magnetic structure of noncentrosymmetric CeZnAl3
The Ce-based materials CeTX3 (T=transition metal, X= Si, Ge, Al) crystallizing in the noncentrosymmetric BaNiSn3-type structure, have been found to display a wealth of novel... -
Determination of the relative magnitudes of static and dynamic displacements ...
The width of a peak in a pair distribution function (PDF) provides a measure of the variation in the distance between a pair of atoms. This results from a combination of thermal... -
Simultaneous Microwave Dielectric Spectroscopy and Neutron Diffraction Measur...
Ammonia has been proposed as a high density chemical energy-storage media, which can be safely and reversible stored within low cost saline halides. Here we propose to extend... -
Magnetic excitations in CrB2
CrB2, like MnB2, are transition metal diborides that have magnetically ordered ground states. Preliminary neutron (TAS) work and in house lab indicated that the dispersion has... -
Warm Polar Cloud Chemistry: Can the Halogen "explosion" effect cloud droplet ...
The oxidative processing of pollutants in Polar clouds affects droplet size and optical properties. Polar clouds contain naturally occurring organic lipids forming organic films... -
Neutron Diffraction study of Highly Frustrated SrEr2O4
We propose to measure the neutron diffraction pattern of a single crystal sample of SrEr2O4, using the WISH diffractometer. As the magnetic Er ions in this compound are linked... -
Probing lateral solvent and ion distributions in patterned pH swellable gels ...
Patterned, swellable hydrogels are finding increasing applications as sensing, optical focussing and actuation elements in Lab-on-a-chip structures because of their property... -
