We propose to study the crystal structures of RbMnBr3, RbFeBr3 and RbNiBr3 between 300 and 0.3 K. RbMnBr3 under goes two structural phase transition by reducing Rb coordination.... -
Defect structure of oxygen-deficient Yb2Zr2O6.5
Ytterbium zirconate is of fundamental interest as a model frustrated magnet, and of potential technological importance as a thermal barrier material. In both cases oxygen... -
Single-Crystal Neutron Diffraction Study on [U(C5Me5)2(H)(mu¿H)]2
To our knowledge, the length of the U¿H single bond has never been accurately measured, at least not in a molecular compound by single-crystal neutron diffraction. We currently... -
Influence of superstructures on rich transport properties of lithium cobaltate
In the vicinity of x ~ 0.75, LixCoO2 has potential as a thermoelectric, since it has a high Seebeck coefficient and metallic conductivity. We have performed the first successful... -

We are performing structural investigations of a series of brownmillerites (Sr,Ca)2(Fe,Co)2O5 which display long-range modulated ordering of oxygen vacancies at ambient and high... -
Superstructures in iron-based superconductor Cs0.8Fe1.6Se2
Cs0.8Fe1.6Se2 becomes superconducting below 27K despite the presence of antiferromagnetism with a large moment of about 3.3 Bohr magnetons and an unusually high ordering... -
Charge ordering in Ortho-VIII YBCO
The relationship between spin and charge correlations (stripes) continues to be one of the major issues in high temperature (cuprate) superconductivity. Under some circumstances... -
