Electron localisation in vanadium hollandites
Hollandites (AxM8O16, where A is a large cation and M is a transition metal, here vanadium) have been studied for a wide range of properties, including electronic phenomena such... -
Structure and magnetic order in chemically modified schafarzikites
Schafarzikite minerals are structurally interesting in having 1-D chains of edge-linked transition metal octahedra. This experiment aims to determine the cause of the... -
Structure and magnetic properties of materials derived from Apuanite and Vers...
We aim to determine fully the variation in charge order of synthetic Versiliaite and Apuanite samples by monitoring structural and magnetic order as a function of temperature,... -
Structural and magnetic orders in Ga-V oxide spinels
In certain materials, notably with the spinel structure, orbital ordering can result in the formation of a ground state with electrons delocalising between small numbers of...
