Ge-As-Se glasses are interesting for two main reasons: they are widely used in infrared optics and optoelectronics and they serve as model materials for theories of glass...

Liquid metal alloys, with liquidus temperatures close to room temperature, are a rapidly developing research area with novel applications in renewable energy, catalysis,...

The local structural distortions in BaTiO3-based solid solutions, where the Ti4+ site is substituted by isovalent Sn4+ cation Ba(Sn,Ti)O3, are characterized by no oxygen tilts...

The aim of the proposed experiment is to measure the changes in crystallographic temperature during beta quenching of Zircalloy 4, an important nuclear fuel cladding material.

The way that small molecules pack together can have substantial ramifications on the observed physical properties, reactivity, and device characteristics, even if the molecule...

Long-term nuclear waste repository strategies in Europe include the developing of safe multi-barrier isolation of spent nuclear fuel. One of the considered schemes is the...

A prototypical frustrated magnet in which structural disorder plays a key role is SrCr9pGa12−9pO19 (SCGO). It is postulated that structurally ordered SCGO hosts a...

We request GEM beamtime to study the structure of samples of sodium silicate glass with and without CO3 carbonate groups. The presence of CO3 carbonate groups in the glasses is...

Telluride glassy systems are widely used for phase-change optical recording. They are also promising materials for far-IR applications. The atomic structure of telluride glasses...

The perovskite-like family of ammonium formate frameworks AB(HCO2)3, where A is a divalent metal ion and B is an (alkyl)ammonium or guanadinium, is of great interest for its...

Non-linear optical (NLO) crystals are widely used in advanced photonic technologies for second harmonic and difference frequency generation (SHG, DFG), producing coherent light...

The mixed alkali effect is a well-known phenomenon whereby combining two alkalis in a ternary glass system can produce physical properties which can be superior to, but cannot...

The aim of this proposal is to develop a methodology to investigate multicomponent glass structure, combining neutron diffraction, XRD, NMR, ab initio MD, and RMC. We wish to...

We wish to investigate the effect of glass composition on the environment of rare earth ions doped into chalcogenide glasses. To achieve this the series of glasses, yNd2S3 ¿...

Metal-organic framework materials are a family of nanoporous solids that have potential applications in molecular storage, separation and catalysis. Some of these materials show...

Japanese company TDK has recently developed a 320GB optical storage disc. In contrast to usual DVDs and BDs, the 320GB TDK disc seems to operate because of difference in...

We request four days of GEM time to collect full patterns on PbZr1-xTixO3 (PZT) with different compositions at room temperature for Pair Distribution Functions (PDF) analysis....

We have prepared some new mixed-metal oxides using a chemical synthesis approach that provides access to materials not seen using other techniques. The materials are potentially...

We wish to study a series of glasses of composition As2Ch3 (Ch = S, Se and Te) to investigate the effect of varying the chalcogen type on the non-linear optical (NLO) behaviour...

The ionic conductivity of sodium chalcogenide or chalcohalide glasses is 2 to 3 orders of magnitude higher than that of oxide glasses and comparable with lithium ionic...
