An exploration of the vibrational properties of energetic materials using Ine...
We have initiated a new research programme that seeks to correlate features of the crystal structures of energetic materials (explosives, propellants) with their sensitivities... -
High Pressure Thermoelastic Properties of Thermoelectric PbSe
We propose to study the effect of pressure and temperature on the crystal structure and the elasticproperties of lead selenide, an important material for conversion of waste... -
A High-Pressure investigation on 3,4,5-Trinitropyrazole
This proposal will explore the effect of elevated pressure on the 3,4,5-Trinitropyrazole (TNP). TNP releases a large amount of dinitrogen gas as a detonation product which is... -
Can we use the H-H stretch of adsorbed dihydrogen to characterise materials?
The use of the J 0-to-1 rotational transition of dihydrogen has been extensively used to characterise the state if hydrogen in and on materials. The disadvantage of studying the... -
High pressure charge transitions in PbCoO3
PbCoO3 used to be the missing link in the PbMO3 perovskite series. PbCoO3 was recently synthesized by the Azuma group using high-pressure synthesis at 12 GPa. NPD at JPARC... -
Local ordering in the pressure-induced order-disorder transition in ammonium ...
Ammonium bromide undergoes a pressure-induced order-disorder transition, where the disordered (plastic) phase is thought to consist of a random distribution of ammonium cations... -
Compressibility and Tilting of Polyhedra within Sr2NiMoO6 at High Pressure
Ordered double perovskites (also known as elpasolites) have the general formula A2BBO6 where A is generally a rare earth metal or alkaline earth metal and where B and B are...
