Vanadium oxides and vanadates are nowadays the best candidates for the next generation of battery cathode for energy storage,[1,2] particularly for the aqueous zinc-ion bateries (AZIB) due the low cost and good diffusion of Zn [3]. Hydrated vanadium pentoxide (V$_2$O$_5\cdot$nH$_2$O) has
a bilayer structure and structural water molecules work as pillars to expand the layer spacing, and the...
We present the cryogenic magnetic system MULTIPAC, which will be used to perform Perturbed Angular Correlation (PAC) Experiments in Multiferroic (and Magnetic) Materials. It simultaneously allows to measure magnetic as well as ferroelectric properties concurrent with local probe experiments using PAC-isotopes. On the long run, the very same set-up can serve for the investigation of purely...
The use of color centers in diamond that are suitable as single photon emitters is currently at the forefront of efforts to establish crucial building blocks for a number of quantum technologies. Besides the well-known and widely investigated nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center, other single-photon emitting color centers with appealing properties have emerged in the last decade, including group-IV...
