Various theories beyond the Standard Model predict new particles with masses in the sub-eV range with very weak couplings to ordinary matter which can possess spin-dependent couplings to electrons and nucleons. We report null results of a search for possible exotic spin-depend ...
Optical hydrogen sensing beyond palladium
Hafnium and tantalum as effective sensing materials
The detection of hydrogen in a fast, efficient and accurate way is vital for its safe handling in industrial processes and in its use as an energy carrier. Thin film metal hydrides are able to probe the hydrogen pressure, often relying on a change of the optical properties of ...
RF coils have been routinely used for Larmor labelling on the Offspec instrument at ISIS. These coils encode directional information via the neutron polarization using a series of parallelogram-shaped pole shoes which can be tuned to different angles with an RF gradient flippe ...
Hydrogen detection is essential for its implementation as an energy vector. So far, palladium is considered to be the most effective hydrogen sensing material. Here we show that palladium-capped hafnium thin films show a highly reproducible change in optical transmission in re ...
