Zn(CN)2 is an important material because it shows isotropic NTE over a large temperature range and to an extent more than double that of ZrW2O8. This unusual behaviour...

Re-chargeable Li ion batteries play a key role in modern consumer electronics and may have an important part to play as energy storage devices in a low carbon economy of the...

High resolution powder diffraction data will be used to obtain lattice parameter and atomic coordinate variations as a function of temperature for Pr0.6Ca0.4MnO3, which has a...

Lithium iron phosphate is a commonly used cathode material in Li-ion batteries. The material exhibits a two phase system on lithiation and delithiation with narrow solid...

A waste majority of crystals exists in several polymorphic forms in different domains of the P,T-diagram. Liquids and glasses also exhibit polyamorphism and the question remains...

Our previous HRPD experiment on the Pd-D2 system resolved the long-standing controversy over the occupation of T interstitial sites by D, showing that T sites are occupied owing...

Our work on LSTN showed that it exhibits favourable electrochemical properties, i.e. rapid diffusion of lithium into the structure at low temperatures and the ability to...

Ferroelectrics are an important class of materials in modern electronics. Their application range from simple capacitors to ultrasonics transducers and sensors to memory...

We hope to utilise variable temperature neutron diffraction to understand the structural chemistry in two new Li-rich ionic conductors and relate them to known families of fast...

We studied a new metamagnetic heavy-fermion (HF) compound YbRh3 Si7, synthesized for the first time. This is the first HF compound in the ScRh3Si7 family, for which the only...

We request 5 days beamtime on the Polaris diffractometer to perform simultaneous ionic conductivity and neutron powder diffraction measurements of five superionic binary...

Electrical steels (ES) used in motors and transformers. The major challenge is to optimise themagnetic property of ES to reduce energy waste during service. The crystallographic...

Materials that show fast oxide ion conduction have potential applications as electrolytes in devices such as solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), gas sensors and gas separation...

Ferroelectric materials, mainly Pb-containing, have widespread applications in our modern-day life, primarily used as sensors, actuator and memories. However challenges still...

Solid state electrolytes are key components to replace volatile liquid electrolytes in lithium-based batteries to deal with the safety concern. We propose here variable...

We request two days of beam-time on POLARIS to obtain high resolution measurements of the thermal expansion of dolomite [CaMg(CO3)2]. The experiment forms part of a larger...

The AX2O7 series has garnered much recent attention due to its ability to host a wide range of 4+ cations. The members of this series have been shown to exhibit complex...

hard carbon are promising anodes for sodium ion batteries, due to their high capacity and green production from biowaste. However, they require treatment at very high...

Alkali halide sulphide and selenide glasses MY-Ga2X3-GeX2 (M = Li, Na, Rb, Cs; Y = Cl, Br, I; X = S, Se) are promising hosts for active and passive optical devices, solid-state...

Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 (NBT) based materials can present high level of oxide-ion conduction and therefore they are promising electrolytes for IT-SOFCs. The conductivity of highly...
