Structures and magnetism of layered cobalt oxide selenide tellurides
This proposal aims to exploit the high resolution of HRPD and OSIRIS to probe the structures of the solid solution Ba2CoO2Cu2(Te1-xSex)2. The compound Ba2CoO2Cu2Te2 shows... -
Spin orientation in natural nanoscale intergrowths and the origin of giant ex...
The orientation of spins in a natural sample of Ti-bearing hematite (Fe2O3) has been measured previously from 2-300K using neutron powder diffraction. It was shown that spins... -
Li-ion diffusion in the solid electrolyte LLT
The high voltage and energy density has made lithium-ion batteries ubiquitous in portable electronics, such as iPods, laptops and mobile phones. At present, they are typically... -
Thermoelastic properties and high-pressure decomposition of MgSO4.11D2O (synt...
The undecahydrate of magnesium sulfate (meridianiite) is likely to occur a major rock-forming mineral in the interiors of large icy satellites such as Ganymede, Callisto and... -
Spin Frustration in a Novel Molecular FeIII_7 Propeller
The hepta-nuclear Fe(III) title compound Fe7 exhibits a unique antiferromagnetic exchange topology reminiscent of a three-bladed propeller, giving rise to spin frustration, also... -
QENS studies of improved hydrogen release in nanostructured ammonia borane fi...
Increasing the density of hydrogen storage is critical for the commercial introduction of hydrogen vehicles. Our nanostructured electrospun ammonia borane (AB)-polystyrene (PS)... -
The icy-moon analogue of MgSiO3-perovskite: MgSO4.9H2O a high-pressure study
Mg-sulfate 11-hydrate (meridianiite) is decomposed by pressure to form Mg-sulfate 9-hydrate + ice, a process that will occur in the mantles of large icy planetary bodies and... -
Experimental evidence for quadrupolar order in the heavy fermion compound Ce3...
This proposal aims to probe the quadrupolar order believed to exist in the heavy fermion compound Ce3Pd20Si6 (CPS). Two phase transitions have been uncovered (in zero applied... -
The Effects of Zeolite Expansion on Molecular Diffusion
Zeolites are porous materials that can absorb other molecules, which makes them useful in a number of fields. When they absorb molecules, they change size, either shrinking or... -
In-Situ Quasi-Elastic Neutron Scattering Study of a Gas Loaded Indium-Carboxy...
We request 8 days on IRIS to study the diffusion of adsorbed H2 gas and C2-hydrocarbons molecules within a gated indium-based porous metal-organic framework (MOF) as a function... -
Equations of state of D2O ice III and ice V
The high-pressure forms of ice, phases III and V, are the equilibrium solids in contact with liquid water at pressures between 2.5 - 5.5 kbar. Consequently, their properties are... -
Molecular dynamics and melting in CH3NH3PbCl3:
The organic-inorganic perovskites (CH3NH3Pb(Br,Cl,I)3) have been identified as efficient photovoltaic materials. Theoretical calculations have suggested that the low energy... -
Structures and magnetism of chemical and electrochemical deintercalates of la...
We propose to use OSIRIS to investigate the changes in magnetic ordering which occur when a series of layered oxysulfides with mixed-valent Mn ions in their oxide layers are... -
Tracking membrane dynamics during the topological phase transitions in amphip...
The proposed experiment addresses the dynamics of surfactants in amphiphile/water systems during the topological transition, with a focus on the membrane with non-lamellae... -
