Solid-state homogeneous precipitation of nano-sized precipitates is one of the most effective processes to strengthen metal alloys, where the final density and size distribution of precipitates are largely controlled by the precipitation…
The influence of Sn alloying additions on the aqueous passivation behavior of Cu-Al alloys was revisited and found to function as a new third element effect in acidified 0.1 M Na2SO4 solution. The role of each element during the process of…
We explore how nuclear modifications to the nucleon parton distributions affect production of high-$p_T$ hadrons in heavy ion collisions. We perform a leading order calculation of the high-$p_T$ charged pion, kaon and proton spectra using…
Secondary radiation in a radiation therapy environment is considered a cause for post-treatment side effects including secondary carcinogenesis. In a proton-therapy setup, neutrons deliver a considerable extra dose to the patient. Various…

Atom probe tomography (APT) is a powerful microscopy technique to characterize nano-sized clusters of the alloying elements in the bulk of reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steels. These clusters are known to dominantly determine the evolution…
Magnetic small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) is ideally suited to provide direct, reciprocal-space information of long-wavelength magnetic modulations, such as helicoids, solitons, merons, or skyrmions. SANS of such structures in thin…
Parity violating electron scattering can measure the neutron density of a heavy nucleus accurately and model independently. This is because the weak charge of the neutron is much larger then that of the proton. The Parity Radius Experiment…

Inelastic neutron scattering (INS) enables rapid, non-destructive in situ measurements of soil elemental composition over large soil volumes. Standard INS yields bulk elemental concentrations, but spatially resolved measurements require…
Cross sections and analyzing powers for proton elastic scattering from $^{116,118,120,122,124}$Sn at 295 MeV have been measured for a momentum transfer of up to about 3.5 fm$^{-1}$ to deduce systematic changes of the neutron density…
The relation between nuclear saturation and NN-correlations is examined. Nucleons bound in a nucleus have a reduced effective mass due to the mean field. This results in off-energy-shell scatterings modifying the free-space NN-interaction…
