Adsorption Kinetics and Structure of Silicatein Mediated Silica Films
The fabrication of composite coatings based on silica with well defined physical properties represents a promising new approach to fine-tune mechanical, optical, electronic, and... -
Investigation of the fine effect of the Dzyaloshinski-Moryia interaction on t...
The highly frustrated nature of the pyrochlore lattice leads to a rich diversity of fascinating properties when the lattice sites are decorated with classical spins. Arguably... -
Spin and orbital fluctuations in MgV2O4
We propose to the measure the spin and orbital fluctuations associated with Vanadium in MgV2O4 using the MAPS direct geometry chopper spectrometer. This proposal will use the... -
Probing the structure of antibiotic-gold nanoparticle conjugates
In a one-pot synthesis, we are able to produce spherical gold nanoparticles capped with antibiotics, without the use of other chemicals by using the antibiotic as the reducing... -
Magnetic excitations in the S=1/2 ferromagnetic semiconductor Lu2V2O7
Lu2V2O7 is a rare example of an S=1/2 pyrochlore. The fact that it is a ferromagnet with Tc=70 K belies the fact that it has some truly remarkable properties. These include the...
