Structural and magnetic studies of the alkali sesquioxides Rb4O6 and Cs4O6
The mixed-valence sesquioxides A4O6 (A = alkali metal) are particularly intriguing magneticmaterials comprising of non-magnetic (O2)2- and magnetic (O2)- anions. Recent... -
Local structure study of Cr-Fe alloys with enhanced magnetovolume effect
Negative thermal expansion (NTE) materials, the volume of a material abnormally contract with the increase of temperature, is closed related to the magnetovolume effect in... -
Hydrogen Release Systems: MX2.(NH3)n (M=Mg, X=Cl) with LiH and MgH2
The applicants seek 3 days of beam time on POLARIS to study hydrogen release systems comprising M(NH3)6X2 (M=Mg, X=Cl) coupled with LiH and MgH. Mg(NH3)6Cl2 is an important... -
Quantum-Critical Dynamics of a 3-dimensional Antiferromagnet
We have recently discovered a pressure-induced quantum phase transition (QPT) at 4.3 kbar in the gapped quantum magnet piperazinium hexachlorodicuprate (PHCC) by means of... -
Deammoniation Investigations of the ammines MX2.nNH3 (M= Mg, X= I,Cl,Br)- pot...
The applicants seek 4 days of beam time on POLARIS to study the deammoniation process of synthesised M(NH3)6X2 (M=Mg, X=I, Cl, Br) which are an important class of materials for... -
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... -
CO2 adsorption selectivity in microporous MOF's based on Cu2 paddle-wheels
Metal-organic framework (MOF) materials are a kind of inorganic-organic hybrid materials with a open modular molecular architecture. Such a modularity opens a plethora of...
