Understanding Structural Changes in Amorphous Solid Water (ASW) on Heating
This experiment will establish the structural changes that occur in Amorphous Solid Water (ASW) prior to the process of pore collapse or crystallisation. We will study the... -
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... -
PVT equation of state of D2O ice V
The high-pressure forms of solid water, ice V, is the equilibrium phase in contact with liquid water at pressures between 3.5 - 5.5 kbar. Consequently, the properties are... -
Excitations of the Zeeman ladder in a transverse field in the Ising antiferro...
The excitations of an Ising antiferromagnetic chain have been studied in the past and are known to form either continuous spectrum or Zeeman ladders. Such a system can be... -
Tuning cycloidal ordering by epitaxial strain in BiFeO3 thin films
Owing to their promising applications, especially in spintronics, multiferroics have been at the fprefront of condensed matter research for a number of years. In these... -
Quantum renormalisation of spin waves in a square lattice antiferromagnet
The two dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a square lattice is one of the most studied model in quantum magnetism . This is in part due to its intrinsic interest but also... -
Structural study of the effect of barium doping in Sr3Ru2O7
The capability of systematically tuning electronic properties of strongly correlated electron systems is key to unraveling the mechanisms underlying the observed physics.... -
Low temperature structural changes of complex ferroelectric La2Ti2O7
La2Ti2O7 is part of an intriguing family of layered perovskite-related materials which display an unusual type of ferroelectricity. In contrast to standard ABO3 perovskites (in...
