Neutron scattering provides valuable insights into the energy levels, excitations, and interactions of 3He@C60 endofullerene, enabling a deeper understanding of its quantum behaviour within the confined space of the fullerene cage.
Experimental evidence of rare magnetic behaviour in LiYbO2 will help to open the door to a new family of materials with potential applications in spintronics, quantum computing and more.
The existence of carbonic acid has long been the subject of debate: theoretically real, but practically impossible to detect.
Only by using neutron instruments from across the globe, have researchers been able to characterise the magnetism of a graphene-like material.
Using advanced neutron scattering, researchers have probed the magnetic band structures in a crystal of chromium tribromide, revealing a complex magnetic topology.
A collaboration between European facilities has enabled polarised neutrons to be used on the IMAT instrument at ISIS Neutron and Muon Source, to study 3D-printed magnets.
A team from TU Vienna, INRIM Turin and ILL Grenoble has succeeded for the first time in building a neutron interferometer from two separate crystals.
Spins tick-tock like a grandfather clock and then stop. Thanks to complementary experiments at the Swiss Muon Source SµS, Swiss Spallation Neutron Source SINQ and the Swiss Light Source SLS, researchers led by the University of Geneva have discovered this coveted characteristic, known as magnetic crossover, hidden within the magnetic landscape of an exotic layered material. Magnetic crossover means tuneability and with it promise for spin-based electronics.
Smart molecules can change their shape and properties depending on temperature or other parameters such as macromolecular architecture. In pharmaceutic applications, they release active ingredients in a targeted manner at the desired locations. Neutrons at the MLZ reveal these nanostructures and help specifically design new molecules with desired properties.
New research published in Science brings us a step closer to magnonic devices and quantum computing. Neutron analysis has revealed the behaviour of magnetic waves in a class of materials, enabling scientists to picture a future where electronic currents no longer cause our devices to heat up.
