Determining the Structures of the Low-Temperature CDW and long rang ordering in Uranium

We will develop low temperature high pressure XRD to determine the nature of the three charge density waves (CDW) found in uranium (dU) and provide information regarding the crystal structure to determine the Fermi surface (FS) within the alpha-2 and -3 phases of this material. We would then use this modeling to better understand the existence of superconductivity in dU and how it competes or is driven by these CDWs. This will lend insight into P-T phase diagram of dU. We are asking for four days (12 shifts) on ID15B or ID27.
