We will investigate the structure of 4-chloroimidazole, which undergoes extreme anisotropic thermal expansion. This is believed from our initial x-ray results to be due to a...

Organic ferroelectric compounds such as KH2PO4 and squaric acid, have attracted much interest in the past due to their potential in applications [1]. This interest has been...

We propose to study the crystal structures of RbMnBr3, RbFeBr3 and RbNiBr3 between 300 and 0.3 K. RbMnBr3 under goes two structural phase transition by reducing Rb coordination....

Polar or non-centrosymmetric ferri(-o)magnets offer a plethora of potential technological devices; the inherent magnetoelectric effect can underpin both pyroelectric or...

As part of a facility project aimed at developing a new sample environment allowing simultaneous in-situ neutron diffraction and Raman spectroscopy, we propose to study the...

Croconic acid has recently emerged as the first example of an above room-temperature organic single component ferroelectric. Our goal is to determine its crystal structure at...

In nucleophilic fluorination reactions it is extremely difficult to tune the reactivity of the fluoride anion in organic solution to give the desired product. Building on our...
