Magnetic excitations in mesoporous hematite
We have recently prepared mesoporous forms of various metals oxides. In some cases the imposition of a mesostructure changes other properties of the material significantly. One... -
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... -
Inelastic neutron scattering measurements on ErMn2D6
Hydrogen absorption in RMn2 Laves phases compounds lead either to RMn2Hx (where x < 4.5) interstitial hydrides under a moderate H2 pressure or to RMn2H6 complex hydrides... -
Determination of the on-top vibrational mode of the surface hydride in PdH.
Finely divided supported palladium particles are used as catalysts in many technical processes. Using MAPS we have recently investigated the interaction of hydrogen with the... -
Ligand-field characterization and U-Pt bonding in uranium-based heterometalli...
We propose to investigate the magnetic excitation spectra of tetravalent uranium ions in two isostructural, one-dimesional chains made up by aligned UM2 units, with M = Pt and... -
Magnetic excitation in triangular latticce antiferromagnet alpha-CaCr2O4
The triangular Heisenberg antiferromagnet is the classic example of the frustrated magnet, here the ground state forms a non-collinear 120° structure. A number of different... -
The crucial roles of metal-hydrogen stretches in catalytic hydrogenation on b...
Bimetallic alloy catalysts with optimized metal ratio usually exhibit a superior catalytic hydrogenation activity and selectivity compared to individual mono-metallic catalysts,...
