Developing high-performance microwave absorbing materials is still a challenge to address
the electromagnetic pollution. Interfacial engineering to heighten interfacial polarization …

At Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) and Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), we have measured the
losses and depolarization probabilities of ultracold neutrons on various materials:(i) nickel …

Neutron guides are smooth-wall tubes whose inner surfaces are coated with neutron
reflecting materials. When a neutron beam hits the surface of the guide at a shallow enough …

There are worldwide efforts to search for physics beyond the Standard Model of particle
physics. Precision experiments using ultracold neutrons (UCN) require very high intensities …

Ultracold neutrons were stored in a volume, using a magnetic dipole field shutter. Radial
confinement was provided by material walls. Low-field seeking neutrons were axially …

We study the electronic structure and a mean-field phase analysis based on the pair–pair
energies derived from first-principles electronic structure calculations of AuFe and NiMo …

Thermodynamic databases are essential prerequisites for developing advanced materials,
such as Ni-based superalloys. The present work collects a large amount of experimental …

A first experimental demonstration of a new type of magnetic trap for ultra-cold neutrons is
presented. High-field seeking spin-states are trapped in a potential formed by the magnetic …

Crystalline CoxCu1− x alloys show interesting magnetic behaviour over the entire
concentration regime. We here present a fully self-consistent first-principles electronic …

We use the first principle TB-LMTO (Tight-Binding Linear Muffin Tin Orbital) method
combined with the ASM (Augmented Space Method) to take care of disorder beyond the …
