We report on the effects of spin fluctuations, magnetic ordering, and external magnetic field on the dielectric constant of the ferromagnet SeCuO₃, and the antiferromagnet TeCuO₃. A model based on the coupling between ...

X-ray photoemission spectroscopy is used in a great variety of research fields; one observable is the sample's stoichiometry. The stoichiometry can be deduced based on the expectation that the ionization cross sections f ...

Mapping out multidimensional potential energy surfaces has been a goal of physical chemistry for decades in the quest to both predict and control chemical reactivity. Recently a new spectroscopic approach called Femtos ...

Filled skutterudites are promising thermoelectric materials due to reduced thermal conductivity upon inserting a guest atom or 'rattler' into the CoSb₃ structure. By using an indium rattler dimensionless Figure of Meri ...

Background: There is a long-term interest in running the fission reaction backward, i.e., studying the "inverse fission" of uranium. The recent availability of beams of n-rich fission fragments has stimulated interest in ...

The effect of quasi-hydrostatic pressure upon the ferromagnetic ground state of magnetodielectric, double- perovskite La₂ MnNiO₆ is investigated using x-ray absorption spectroscopy and diffraction measurements in a d ...

n-Type In-filled CoSb₃ is a known skutterudite compound that has shown promising thermoelectric (TE) properties resulting in high dimensionless figure of merit values at elevated temperatures. Use in various waste heat r ...

A global-scale three dimensional atmospheric transport and chemistry model was applied to simulate transpacific transport of Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) emitted from Asia. The model results were compared with observations at si ...
