Magnetic frustration occurs when nearest-neighbor competing interactions cannot be simultaneously satisfied. Pyrochlores, whose crystalline lattices form corner-sharing...

Nanowires are increasingly being used in life science to interact with living cells, for example as nanometer probes. The interaction between the cell membrane, i.e. a lipid...

Many of the devices currently used for energy storage (e.g., batteries, solar cells) use liquid electrolytes that are known to pose a serious fire and safety risk. In recent...

The perovskite structure with general formula ABX3 describes many hundreds (if not thousands) of materials. Many have interesting and technologically important properties. The...

We are proposing 4 days of beamtime on GEM to conduct the experiment on 10 alloy nanoparticles; PdxRu1-x (x = 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, 1) and PdRuM (M = Rh, Pt, Ir). We have...

Materials that show fast oxide ion conduction have potential applications as electrolytes in devices such as solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), gas sensors and gas separation...

Ionic conductivity is a property where a material is able to conduct electricity through the movement of ions. Oxide ion conductors can be used in solid oxide fuel cells, which...

We aim to use the ENGIN-X facility to measure the residual field within an industrial scale (1 x 0.8 x 0.3 m), direct chill (DC) cast slab of a high strength, creep resistant...

It has recently been discovered than the rutile phase of zinc fluoride shows negative thermal expansion along all three crystallographic axes. What is highly unusual about this...
