Spin Waves at High Temperature in the Parent Compound of the Superconductor F...
The recently discovered iron based superconductors have transition temperatures second only to the cuprates. The majority of these compounds display superconductivity after... -
Variable temperature structural study of Ca1-xSrxMnO3-d perovskites for use i...
CaMnO3-based perovskite oxides show promise as solid oxygen carriers for use in chemical looping. Partial substitution with small amounts of Sr increases both the capacity and... -
Lattice and proton vibrational dynamics in Sc-doped BaTiO3 proton conductors
Proton conducting BaTi1-xScxO3Hx (BTS) perovskites are promising materials for proton conducting fuel cells in the intermediate temperature regime (200-600 °C). Compared to... -
The interaction of hydrogen with gallium oxide
There is an increasing interest in the application of gallium oxide as a catalyst support material, with particular interest in its use in new methanol steam reforming... -
Monitoring crystallisation of Y3Al5O12 (YAG) under supercritical conditions u...
This proposal seeks 2 days on POLARIS in order to study hydrothermal chemical syntheses of yttrium aluminium garnet, Y3Al5O12 (YAG) in supercritical water using the... -
Complex ordering in a new polar A-site deficient perovskite
Recent theoretical work has identified that oxygen octahedral rotations (OORs) in layered perovskites such as Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) phases can generate noncentrosymmetry... -
Rosseinsky Programme Access Polaris
To determine the temperature dependence of the structures of new mixed and ionic conducting materials in the n = 2 ruddlesden-popper,mellilite and pyrochlore systems. -
High pressure behaviour of ammonium carbamate
A number of compounds crystallise in the NH3-H2O-CO2 ternary system, including ammonium carbonates and carbamates, these being closely related to the water-deficient compound... -
Copy of: Inelastic Neutron Scattering on Activated Phyllosilicate Catalysts
We propose to study a model phyllosilicate catalyst that, upon brief thermal treatment, releases OH groups from its surface to generate pockets of coordinatively unsaturated... -
Multi-phonon scattering and anharmonicity in zinc oxide
Understanding the thermal conductivity of zinc oxide is of central importance in assessing its potential for a wide variety of applications in optoelectronics, power electronics...
