Bismuth niobium oxide (BiNbO4) is widely used in multilayer radio frequency and microwave components such as chip LCs and capacitors. While the low temperature forms of this...

The aim of the experiment is to investigate the temperature evolution of the crystal structure for two transition metal oxides with low lattice thermal conductivities. This will...

Microwave dielectric ceramics are used in communications devices. Such materials need high relative permittivity, high dielectric quality factor and be temperature stable....

In this proposal we aim to study low temperature structure of hydrogen in the interlayer region of partially hydrated pillared clays. There are linked dual motivations for this...

We seek to develop new MOFs for sensing and removal of toxic gases (e.g., SO2) and request 4 days on POLARIS to study the structural binding details and dielectric data...

Silicate spinels are important minerals in the transition zone region of the Earth and in order to understand seismic signals from these depths (550-660 km) we need to know the...

Materials with incommensurate structures often show exotic properties (such as charge density waves). The development of reliable and efficient refinement techniques for such...

Much effort has been devoted to the research of new NTE materials and the understanding of the mechanism driving this phenomenon. As part of our ERC grant on ‘orbital...

Tetragonal tungsten bronzes have three types of channels for ions with the smallest unusually occupied with Li in potassium lithium tantalate (KLT). This creates complexity...

The concept of an aristotype, or equivalently, the basic structure, that represents the highest symmetry crystal structure that can be attained, either experimentally, or...

CaSiO3 perovskite is the third most abundant mineral in the Earth's lower mantle; it also occurs as a major phase at lower pressures and temperatures in subduction zones, where,...

Apatites are a large group of chemically and structurally flexible functional materials with important applications as solid electrolytes. The majority of known apatite...

CaMnO3-based perovskite oxides show promise as solid oxygen carriers for use in chemical looping. Partial substitution with small amounts of Sr increases both the capacity and...

To determine the temperature dependence of the structures of new mixed and ionic conducting materials in the n = 2 ruddlesden-popper,mellilite and pyrochlore systems.
