) in the novel nitridehydride catalyst Ca
CrN
H, by means of variable temperature inelastic neutron scattering (INS) experiments, harmonic phonon calculations, and machine-learning molecular dynamics (MLMD) calculations. The combined analyses of experimental and theoretical data show that the vibrational dynamics of H
are manifested as a broad, asymmetric vibrational band between 80 and 130 meV. Crucially, these modes are polarized along the crystallographic
axis, and their dispersive character reveals significant interactions between neighbouring H
in the material. We find that most H
are surrounded by two other H
and that the H
sites of the studied sample have an occupancy of at least 95%. We argue that this high H
occupancy may be related to the material's high efficiency as a catalyst for ammonia synthesis.

被引用回数:10 パーセンタイル:58.35(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)We present the results of muon spin relaxation (
SR) and neutron scattering measurements on the Ce-based quasikagome lattice CeRh
Pd
Sn (
= 0.1 to 0.75). Our
SR results reveal the absence of both static long-range magnetic order and spin freezing down to 0.05 K in the
= 0.1 sample, which is consistent with neutron scattering results. The weak temperature-dependent plateaus of the dynamic spin fluctuations below 0.2 K in zero field together with its longitudinal-field (LF) dependence indicate the presence of dynamic spin fluctuations persisting even at 0.05 K without static magnetic order. We argue that such a behavior for
= 0.1 can be attributed to a metallic spin-liquid-like ground state near the quantum critical point in the frustrated Kondo lattice. The LF-
SR study suggests that the out of kagome plane spin fluctuations are responsible for the spin-liquid behavior.
