Determination of the Crystallographic and Magnetic structures of RbMnBr3, RbF...
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.... -
Structural characterization of a fully detuterated manganese Prussian Blue an...
The aim of this proposal is to perform a neutron diffraction determination of the first perdeuterated Mn-Prussian Blue (PB) analogue of composition: Mn(II)3 [Mn(III)(CN)6]2... -
Magnetic Structure and Martensite Twin-Laws of ferromagnetic Co2-Ni-Ga and Fe...
Pseudoelastic, ferromagnetic Co2NiGa type high-temperature shape memory alloys (HT-SMAs) are characterized by a wide range of tunable transformation temperatures and lower... -
Low temperature phase transitions in ferroelectric tris-sarcosine calcium chl...
Small-molecule based ferroelectrics offer several advantages over the currently used materials based on heavy metal oxides (i.e. cost, environmental-friendliness). There are... -
Structural basis for the 2D thermal expansion tensor of petalite, LiAlSi4O10
Phases in the lithia-alumina-silica phase diagram (LAS) are of great importance owing to the technologically property of ultra-low thermal expansion (ULTE) that they frequently... -
Photocrystallography in retinal
Retinal plays a key role in visual perception. In the ground state it occurs in the cis form with a bent side chain, whilst after light exposure it assumes the trans form with... -
Crystal and magnetic structure of the polar ferrimagnet BaCaFe4O7
Polar or non-centrosymmetric ferri(-o)magnets offer a plethora of potential technological devices; the inherent magnetoelectric effect can underpin both pyroelectric or... -
Magnetic Structure and Martensite Twin-Laws of ferromagnetic Co2-Ni-Ga and Fe...
Pseudoelastic, ferromagnetic Co2NiGa type high-temperature shape memory alloys (HT-SMAs) are characterized by a wide range of tunable transformation temperatures and lower... -
Proton transfer in croconic acid
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... -
SXD investigation of post pressurised Cs2CuCl4
Cs2CuCl4 has been extensively studied using neutron scattering, and has revealed a quantum spin liquid phase below 2.8 K with antiferromagnetic interactions, and long range... -
High pressure behaviour of ammonium carbonate monohydrate
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... -
The Effect of Hydrogen Bonding on the Nucleophilicity and Basicity of Fluorid...
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...
