Multiple magnetic transitions in the trilayer nickelate Pr4Ni3O10 revealed by muon-spin rotation
A muon-spin rotation/relaxation (µSR) study of the trilayer Ruddlesden–Popper nickelate Pr4Ni3O10 was performed at ambient pressure and under hydrostatic pressure up to 2.2 GPa. Three magnetic transitions were identified ...
Unraveling spin density wave order in layered nickelates La3Ni2O7 and La2PrNi2O7 via neutron diffraction
The observation of pressure-induced superconductivity in two- and three-layer Ruddlesden-Popper nickelates has spurred ...
Polarization contrast neutron imaging enables operando visualization of iron plating in redox flow batteries
Visualizing multiphase (solid–liquid–gas) electrochemical transformations during operation is essential to advancing sustainable energy storage technologies. All-iron redox flow batteries represent a promising candidate ...
