The newest neutron scattering applications are highly intensity-limited techniques that demand reducing the neutron losses between source and detectors. In addition, the nuclear industry demands more accurate data and ...

We have measured the ionization efficiency of silicon nuclear recoils with kinetic energy between 1.8 and 20 keV. We bombarded a silicon-drift diode with a neutron beam to perform an elastic-scattering experiment. A ...

Lattice models (tight-binding) for many-body systems give a good theoretical and experimental framework to study quantum phase transitions presented in several strongly correlated materials at low temperature. In general, ...
