Mixed alkali environment in chalcohalide glasses for optical applications

Heavy alkali halide sulphide and selenide glasses are promising hosts for active and passive optical devices. Lithium and sodium chalcohalide glasses exhibit high ionic...

Monitoring the changes in the local environment of titanium in modified netwo...

In this experiment we aim to evaluate the structure of titanium-rich glasses as they are compressed. In a previous experiment we have collected data for K2TiSi2O7 glasses with...

Metal Halide Induced Chemical Disorder in Chalcogenide Glasses

Chalcogenide glasses containing light alkali and Group 11 (Cu, Ag) halides MY (Y = Cl, Br, I) exhibit high ionic conductivity while their heavy alkali counterparts show...

Total scattering from multiferroic bismuth ferrite at high temperatures

Bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) is the archetypal multiferroic material and as such has been copiously studied using a wide variety of techniques. Despite this, new structural and...

In search of origin of metal-insulator transition in honeycomb structure Li2RuO3

Recently we have carried out inelastic neutron scattering measurements on Li2RuO3 to understand the nature of the phase transition at 550K. We have seen a clear inelastic...

Kinetics of Benzene Hydrogenation Revisited in the Presence of Excess Liquid

Heterogeneous catalysis, where the reagents are either contained in a liquid medium, or are liquids in their own right, plays a significant part of the chemical industry. These...

A pair distribution function study to determine the local structure of the ti...

BaTiO3 is the prototypical ferroelectic perovskite and has been well studied for over 60 years. The standard structural picture is that it is cubic and paraelectric at high...

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...
