A Total Scattering Study of Local Structure in BIMEVOXes
The BIMEVOXes are an important family of fast oxide ion conducting solids that exhibit very high conductivities at low and intermediate temperatures. A study of local ordering... -
Vacancy Distribution in Praseodymium Doped Ceria
Doped cerias are currently being used as oxide ion conducting electrolyte materials in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Depending on the nature and concentration of the dopant... -
Na-Dynamics in Solid Ionic Conductors: 11Al2O3-Na2O and Na2Ti3O7
We propose to measure the quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) spectra to study the diffusion dynamics in beta- alumina (11Al2O3-Na2O) and Na2Ti3O7. The measurement of QENS... -
Evaluating the effect of cyclic plasticity on creep using a novel crystal pla...
In power generation plants, many critical components are subjected to complex tension-compression cyclic loading followed by long-term creep dwells. While uniaxial creep... -
Formation and ammonia decomposition behaviour of lithium nitride hydride
Ammonia is seen as a key part of the transition to a sustainable energy economy, but needs decomposition catalysts to release its stored hydrogen. Lithium nitride-hydride... -
Anomalous fast diffusion of Cu ions in superionic and liquid phases of CuI
CuI is well-known to exhibit the superionic behaviour in the high temperature solid state (α-phase), where the mobile Cu ions migrate among the interstices in the f.c.c.... -
Neutron scattering investigation of Lithium diffusion mechanism in the Li-ion...
The compound LixCoO2 has attracted lots of attention in the recent years because of its application as cathodes in Li-ion batteries. The diffusion pathway of Li- ions within a... -
