Local structure, dynamics and magnetism of the phases of cobalt imidazolate
This proposal concerns the metal-organic framework (MOF), cobalt imidazolate. Imidazole (im) is a small, flat organic molecule that forms slightly bent metal-im-metal linkages,... -
Structural studies of Fe-pnictide superconductors using neutron total scattering
The recent discovery of superconductivity in a series of iron pnictide materials has led to the anticipation that they might lead to new insights into the origins of... -
The role of Bi in magnetic and structural dimerization of Ba3BiRu2O9.
The aim of the present proposal is to use total scattering to investigate changes in the local structure of Ba3BiRu2O9. This compound undergoes an unusual magnetovolume... -
Defects and Medium-Range Disorder in the Metal¿Organic Framework UiO-66
We wish to use NIMROD to study the distribution and nature of defect sites in the high-thermal-stability metal-organic framework UiO-66. For the most part, defect structures in... -
Dipolar frustration on the triangular lattice: Order and disorder in AgNCO
We propose to use neutron total scattering to characterise isocyanate (NCO-) orientations within the orientationally-disordered phase of AgNCO. The arrangement of NCO- ions in... -
Origins of flexibility in a zero-thermal-expansion framework
Our proposal is to use neutron total scattering on GEM to study framework flexibility and the phenomenology of the displacive phase transition in the cyanide-containing... -
Total scattering study of the orientational phase transition in para-terphenyl
There is currently a resurgence of interest in phase transitions in orientationally disordered molecular crystals. This is partly driven by the fact that new experimental and...
