Structural Studies of 9-methyltriptycenes
We aim at obtaining reliable structural information for selected compounds from a series of four 9-methyltripticene derivatives. These compounds form in the solid state... -
H/D isotope effect on enamtiomers: the case of Alanine
In the current description of any molecular system based on the Schrodinger equation with a Hamiltonian accounting only for the electromagnetic forces, the structural properties... -
Evaluation of the impact of oriented particles on the stress-induced martensi...
Using the SXD Laue Diffractometer we intend to conduct in-situ mechanical tests on Co49Ni21Ga30 single crystals of various orientations to assess martensite variant selection... -
Oxygen-deficient quantum spin ice
In quantum analogues of the spin ice materials quantum mechanical tunneling between ground states is expected, and exotic emergent behaviour has been predicted including a Higgs... -
Oxide ion defects distribution and conduction pathways in apatite-type silicates
Apatites are functional materials with important potential applications as solid electrolytes, and also as biomaterials, ceramics for nuclear waste immobilisation, and... -
Anomalous magnetism in oxygen-deficient scandium-doped spin ice
Our previous diffuse neutron scattering experiment on SXD showed that oxygen vacancies are the dominant defects in spin ice. The substitution of tetravalent titanium by... -

Identifying hydrides in a rhenium hydroborylation catalyst
The characterization of complexes that act as catalysts for chemical transformations is an important feature in the development of new methods of use to a sustainable chemicals... -
Charge ordering in Ortho-VIII YBCO
The relationship between spin and charge correlations (stripes) continues to be one of the major issues in high temperature (cuprate) superconductivity. Under some circumstances... -
Superstructures in iron-based superconductor Cs0.8Fe1.6Se2
Cs0.8Fe1.6Se2 becomes superconducting below 27K despite the presence of antiferromagnetism with a large moment of about 3.3 Bohr magnetons and an unusually high ordering... -
Single-crystal neutron diffraction studies of chain-ordered brownmillerite su...
We are performing structural investigations of a series of brownmillerites (Sr,Ca)2(Fe,Co)2O5 which display long-range modulated ordering of oxygen vacancies at ambient and high... -
Influence of superstructures on rich transport properties of lithium cobaltate
In the vicinity of x ~ 0.75, LixCoO2 has potential as a thermoelectric, since it has a high Seebeck coefficient and metallic conductivity. We have performed the first successful... -
Single-Crystal Neutron Diffraction Study on [U(C5Me5)2(H)(mu¿H)]2
To our knowledge, the length of the U¿H single bond has never been accurately measured, at least not in a molecular compound by single-crystal neutron diffraction. We currently... -
Defect structure of oxygen-deficient Yb2Zr2O6.5
Ytterbium zirconate is of fundamental interest as a model frustrated magnet, and of potential technological importance as a thermal barrier material. In both cases oxygen... -
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.... -
Multiple Coulomb phase in CsNiCrF6
The compound CsNiCrF6 hosts multiple Coulomb phases. A Coulomb phase is a material in which a relationship can be identified between some part of the material's structure and a... -
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... -
Defects and spin correlations in yttrium-doped spin ice
Excitations in spin ice fractionalize into de-confined magnetic monopoles that interact with each other via the magnetic Coulomb interaction. Substituting rare earth ions with... -

[Rh(PiBu3)2(H3BNMe3)]BArF4 is a rare example of a structurally characterised model compound for the sigma-complex intermediate in the transition metal catalysed amine-borane... -
Diffuse scattering study of single crystal PrBa2Cu3O7-x
Standard diffraction studies of PrBCO and YBCO show that these two compounds are isostructical. However, if any Pr/Ba disorder is present in PrBCO, the diffuse scattering signal...
