Lack of Out-of-Plane Dispersion of the Magnetic Excitations of Charge-Stripe Ordered La2−xSrxNiO4+δ

Paul Gregory Freeman, Alexandra Angeline Turrini

The dependence of the magnetic excitations in the out-of-NiO-plane direction of charge stripe ordered La2-xSrxNiO4+delta x = 0.3 and delta = 0.11 +/- 0.01 were investigated by inelastic neutron scattering. No dispersion was observed for the magnetic excita ...

Probing Surfactant Bilayer Interactions by Tracking Optically Trapped Single Nanoparticles

Olivier Martin, Jeonghyeon Kim

Single-particle tracking and optical tweezers are powerful techniques for studying diverse processes at the microscopic scale. The stochastic behavior of a microscopic particle contains information about its interaction with surrounding molecules, and an o ...

Investigating field-induced magnetic order in Han purple by neutron scattering up to 25.9 T

Philippe Heller, Frédéric Mila, Bruce Normand, Nicolas Laflorencie

BaCuSi2O6 is a quasi-two-dimensional (2D) quantum antiferromagnet containing three different types of stacked, square-lattice bilayer hosting spin-1/2 dimers. Although this compound has been studied extensively over the last two decades, the critical appli ...

Miniature and Minimalistic Neutron Detectors for Online High-Resolution Experiments in the Zero-Power Reactor CROCUS

Fanny Vitullo

The continuous strive for more efficient and reliable nuclear power plants is leading to increasing complexity in the design and operations of reactors. As a consequence, comprehensive analyses are required to assess the reactor's safety during normal and ...

Mass transport of water vapor and ions from Å-scale graphene nanopores

Wan-Chi Lee

Hydrodynamics at the nanoscale involves both fundamental study and application of fluid and mass transport phenomena in nanometer-sized confinements. Nanopores in single-layer graphene can be highly attractive for exploring the molecular transport of gas a ...

Possibility to detect the bound state of the Heisenberg ferromagnetic chain at intermediate temperature

Frédéric Mila, Mithilesh Nayak

Motivated by the lack of direct evidence with inelastic neutron scattering of the well documented bound state of Heisenberg ferromagnets, we use the time-dependent thermal density matrix renormalization group algorithm to study the temperature dependence o ...

Bragg edge tomography characterization of additively manufactured 316L steel

Christian Leinenbach, Roland Logé, Nikola Kalentics, Efthymios Polatidis, Markus Strobl

In this work we perform a neutron Bragg edge tomography of stainless steel 316L additive manufacturing samples, one as built via standard laser powder bed fusion, and one using the novel three-dimensional (3D) laser shock peening technique. First, we consi ...

Static and dynamic properties of non-collinear quantum antiferromagnets explored by neutron scattering

Luc Testa

This thesis is devoted to the investigation of static and dynamic properties of two different sets of quantum magnets with neutron scattering techniques and the help of linear spin wave theory. Both systems are copper-based with spin-1/2, which makes them ...

Atom-surface van der Waals potentials of topological insulators and semimetals from scattering measurements

Davide Campi

The phenomenology of resonant scattering has been known since the earliest experiments upon scattering of atomic beams from surfaces and is a means of obtaining experimental information about the fundamentals of weak adsorption systems in the van der Waals ...

A general and efficient framework for atomistic machine learning

Félix Benedito Clément Musil

Over the last two decades, many technological and scientific discoveries, ranging from the development of materials for energy conversion and storage through the design of new drugs, have been accelerated by the use of preliminary in silico experiments, to ...

Rapid screening of nanopore candidates in nanoporous single-layer graphene for selective separations using molecular visualization and interatomic potentials

Rohit Karnik, Luc Sébastien Bondaz

Nanoporous single-layer graphene is promising as an ideal membrane because of its extreme thinness, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength, provided that selective nanopores are successfully incorporated. However, screening and understanding the tran ...
