Rare-earth delafossites were recently proposed as promising candidates for the realization of an effective S = 1/2 quantum spin liquid on the triangular lattice [1, 2]. In...

Materials containing triangular structures of magnetic moment are an important pathway to studying unconventional magnetic phenomena that arise from the geometrical frustration....

We propouse the study of crystal-field or vibron excitations along the series RAgxCu1-xAl3 (R=Ce and La, 0<x<1), where we expect to studing two main aspects. The first one...

For biomaterial applications, it is important that the properties of self-assembled hydrogels are well controlled and match the requirements of the application. The influence of...

A number of polymers that are commonly soluble in water and in alcohol, display a dramatic collapse when 10 molar % of alcohol is added to the polymer/water system. Various...

Chiral gemini surfactants containing stereogenic centers and two amphiphilic moieties, not only maintain the chiral properties, but also exhibit stronger aggregation properties,...

A basic understanding of the dynamic processes in polystyrene (PS) is a question of utmost interest and has technological ramifications due to its importance in commercial...

Structural information of Zr-based MOFs including UiO-67, m-UiO-67, and UiO-bpydc upon ammonia loading will be investigated by an in situ neutron powder diffraction technique....

Here we propose a u+SR investigation on the solid solution Cax-1NaxCr2O4, a Q1D zigzag chain compound where Na+ ions are allocated in the hexagonal one-dimensional channels...

Hydrogels are widely used in biomaterials science, much due to excellent protein resistance, and physicochemical properties similar to biological tissue. Charge neutrality is...

The proposal is to study three alloys, both at high temperature and room temperature, to corroborate strain results obtained through high resolution digital image correlation....

Hydrogen abstraction reactions are key steps in free radical mechanisms that dominate the combustion and atmospheric chemistry of the alkane hydrocarbons and, as such, merit...

The surface tension of proteins often exhibits a reproducible lagtime, which is sensitiv to a range of conditions such as concentration, pH, ionic strength. We have also found...

Hydrogen abstraction reactions are key steps in free radical mechanisms that dominate the combustion and atmospheric chemistry of the alkane hydrocarbons and, as such, merit...

We wish to investigate the magnetic structure of a series of magnetic multilayers using a new technique we have successfully implemented called Spin Echo Modulated Small Angle...

This proposal is part of our research programme to explore the interplay of thermal and quantum fluctuations near zero-temperature quantum phase transitions. Here we apply for a...

Donated blood is typically stored in bags made of PVC plasticized with DEHP. DEHP migrates into the blood and the amount in the blood cells can be 5 to 10% of the phospholipid...

Peptide-functionalized nanoparticle (NP) aggregates have significant potential as biosensors (for specific enzymes) due to their high sensitivity, modular design and simple...

The bilayer ruthenate Sr3Ru2O7 is the first material found to have a quantum critical end-point and is believed to display ¿nematic electronic order¿. We have previously studied...
