Pressure effect on high-temperature multiferroic CuO studied by a single crys...
We propose to perform neutron diffraction experiment under high pressure condition, using a single crystal of CuO on WISH beamline. This monoxide is known as a multiferroic... -
Relaxor-like dielectric behaviour in stoichiometric Sillenite Bi12SiO20
We request 1 day of beam-time on POLARIS to collect Neutron Diffraction (ND) data on the Sillenite Bi12SiO20 (gamma-Bi2O3) that we have recently discovered to exhibit a... -
Cation site disorder in KTiOPO4 isostructures
KTiOPO4 (KTP) is a well known non-linear optical material. Its crystal structure has highly asymmetric Ti-O bonds, a rigid TiO6-PO4 lattice and K cations trapped in cages. The... -
Cation/Anion Order in Ion Excess Garnets and Ruddlesden Popper Phases
In this work, we will examine the Li distribution in cubic and tetragonal La3Zr2Li7O12, tetragonal LaSr2Sb2Li7O12, as well as the variation in the distribution with temperature.... -
