Incommensurate-commensurate phase transitions in K2SeO4
Materials with incommensurate structures often show exotic properties (such as charge density waves). The development of reliable and efficient refinement techniques for such... -
The Crystalline Structure of the Expanded Metal, Li(MeNH2)4
This proposal continues from a GEM experiment (RB1610430), requesting the use of HRPD to provide, for the first time, crystallographic information for solid Li(MeNH2)4. This... -
High temperature neutron powder diffraction studies of polymorphism in Li3+xV...
Novel oxide ceramics with high values of lithium-ion conductivity at ambient temperatures are required as an essential part of the development of new lithium battery... -
Overcoming Chemical Reaction Equilibrium: Determining the Chemical Potential ...
We have developed and demonstrated a novel process to overcome chemical reaction equilibrium constraints on an important reversible industrial chemical reaction by using... -
Quenched salt hydrates new ways of probing water clusters.
Very rapid quenching of liquids to form a glass, from which crystalline phases are subsequently obtained by devitrification, is a powerful technique for obtaining novel... -
Apatite-type Oxides for Energy Applications: Symmetry Distortion Mode Analysi...
Apatites are a large group of chemically and structurally flexible functional materials with important applications as solid electrolytes. The majority of known apatite... -
Effects of lanthanide and manganese dopants on the crystal structure of BiFeO3
Enhancement of the ferroelectric properties of multiferroic BiFeO3 are known to occur when small amounts of Bi are replaced by lanthanide ions. Further levels of lanthanide... -
Structural analysis of honeycomb ruthenates - the relationship between the di...
Honeycomb ruthenates (Ru4+, 4d4) are the potential playground for exotic magnetism associated with strong spin-orbit coupling. However, the real honeycomb ruthenate Li2RuO3... -
Structural Aspects and Magnetic Order in Fe/Co based K2NiF4-type oxide fluorides
K2NiF4-type materials have attracted significant interest for a wide range of applications. While perovskite-based Fe oxide fluorides tend not to be thermally stable, e.g.... -
Magnetism, structure and superconductivity in Sr1¿xNaxFe2As2 (HRPD)
We will use the high resolution of HRPD and the excellent long d-spacing data available on OSIRIS to investigate the phase transitions in Sr1-xNaxFe2As2 which are associated...
