Direct observation of sodium ionic conduction in Na3PS4-based solid electrolytes
All solid-state sodium ion batteries are potential low-cost alternatives to lithium ion batteries, especially for static and large-scale energy storage systems. The shift from... -
Phonon density of states and atomic thermal displacement on the figure of mer...
Quite recently, the high thermoelectric performance has been reported in the MgAgSb-based half Heusler alloys. The ZT values close to 1 at room temperature with a maximum of ZT... -
Local Structure in Tetragonal Tungsten Bronze (Sr,Ba)Nb2O6 Uniaxial Relaxor F...
Oxides with tetragonal tungsten bronze (TTB) structures are an important class of ferroelectrics with properties relevant for several technological applications. The... -
Local structure of deuterated perovskite methylammonium lead iodide CD3ND3PbI3
Methylammonium lead iodide has recently been recognised as an excellent photovoltaic material, with energy conversion efficient of up to 15% with the prospect of gaining higher... -
A New Metamagnetic Material CoSr2Nd1.1Ce0.9CuO9±d
A new metamagnetic material CoSr2Nd1.1Ce0.9CuO9±d has been synthesised. At 2 K the metamagnetic transition occurs at a field of 0.1 T. We propose to measure the field dependence... -
Revising the onset of anharmonicity in proteins
Our previous INS studies of ¿dry¿/hydrated apoferritin show that the hydrated protein undergoes a dynamical transition, Td, at 200K. Such behavior, first modeled by Doster et al... -
How chemical interaction scale affects the dynamics of dense metallic liquids
Using deep inelastic neutron scattering, we plan to investigate chemical short range order on a quantitative level in liquid alloys and its correlation with the long range mass... -
Quasi-elastic neutron studies of superstructure formation in battery materials
LixCoO2 is used extensively in portable batteries in laptops and mobile phones, but the scarcity of Li means that alternative materials are required. Structurally related... -
Understanding the giant barocaloric effect in Mn3AN using pressure and temper...
Materials with large caloric effects offer the opportunity to replace current refrigeration technologies that require the compression of hazardous gases. Barocaloric materials...
