X-ray and neutron scattering studies on vapor-deposited amorphous hydrogen hydrate
Clathrate hydrates are rare inclusion compounds capable of forming both crystalline and amorphous states, making them ideal materials for studying the effects of environmental factors such as symmetry and volume on the motions of guest molecules. In this study, amorphous hydrogen...

Water Activity Governs Ice Nanocrystal Evolution in Rapidly Frozen Sugar Solutions
Abstract Formation and evolution of ice nanocrystals in rapidly frozen sugar solutions were investigated using spin-contrast-variation small-angle neutron scattering (SCV-SANS). As the sugar concentration decreased, the SCV-SANS signal from nanocrystalline ice plates decreased re...

A Bayesian Approach to Nuclear Spin Relaxation Phenomena in Topological Kondo Insulator SmB 6
In studies of the promising topological Kondo insulator (TKI) candidate SmB 6 , nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements of the spin–lattice relaxation rate, 1/T 1 , have provided crucial insights into this compound: for example, the unique opening of a small hybridization g...
