Cation coordination and oxide ion vacancy distribution in tetravalent substit...
Oxide ion conductors based on bismuth oxide based have recently been demonstrated as viable alternatives to traditional electrolytes for intermediate temperature solid oxide... -
Magnetic order in two pyrochlore iridates
Iridium oxides are of interest because many novel magnetic phases have been predicted in crystals, depending on the geometry of the crystal lattice. Our proposal concerns two... -
Magnetic excitations in Er2Zr2O7 and Er2Ir2O7
The rare-earth oxides of the general formula A2B2O7, with A being a rare-earth ion (Er in our case) and B a d- or p-metal (B = Zr or Ir), have been extensively studied for their... -
Neutron Total Scattering Studies on Disordered Hydrogen Storage Material Na2B...
We aim to use total scattering and pair distribution function (PDF) analysis to determine the local structure of the disordered amide-borohydride, Na2BH4NH2. We wish to... -
Neutron diffraction studies of nano-diamond particles
Nano-diamond particles are synthesised by detonation of TNT and Hexogen, resulting in a shockwave which produces diamond nanoparticles with an average size of around 5 nm,... -
Controlled Assembly of Cationic Polythiophene-Surfactant Complexes
We intend to study the phase behaviour of 2 cationic polythiophenes, P3MAHT and P3ImiHT, in the presence of the perfluorinated surfactant potassium... -
