Measurement of surface diffusion on Raney nickel
Many catalysts work by adsorbing molecules onto their surface to from a more concentrated phase, which increases the likelihood of reactants colliding, and reacting to form a... -
Melting point dynamics of Confined fluids
This proposal aims to investigate the dynamics of the melting transition in H2O and CO2 when confined in a vycor (SiO2) matrix. The field of fluids in confined geometries is... -
Liquid-liquid immiscibility and glass transitions in aqueous solutions
The microscopic structure of a dilute solution of LiCl in water is determined at different thermodynamic states in both the liquid and glassy phases. This solution exhibits... -
Cs mixed cation lead perovskites
Organic-inorganic hybrid halide perovskites combine the optoelectronic properties commonly associated with high performance semiconductors with materials synthesis or processing... -
Well, well, well: the free energy landscape of hydrogenated La(Fe,Si)13?
Magnetic cooling promises efficiency savings at room temperature but requires rapid cycling of a magnetic refrigerant in a magnetic field. Refrigerants with first order... -
The nature of the Ferroelectric Phase in CdTiO3
The aim of the present proposal is to establish the structure of the ferroelectric phase of CdTiO3 and to determine the nature of the ferroelectric-paraelectric phase... -
Rattling modes in new thermoelectrics
NaxCoO2 has an exceptional combination of thermoelectric properties, including low thermal conductivity, and it is currently under consideration for use in power recovery and as...
