Local structure, dynamics and magnetism of the phases of cobalt imidazolate
This proposal concerns the metal-organic framework (MOF), cobalt imidazolate. Imidazole (im) is a small, flat organic molecule that forms slightly bent metal-im-metal linkages,... -
Local structure in lanthanum oxyfluorides - probing ion transport in fuel cel...
Mixed-anion compounds such as lanthanum oxyfluorides are increasingly attractive as materials in energy technology applications, such as fuel cells, electrolysers and permeation... -
Structure and dynamics of quartz-like metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)
As part of an ongoing effort to understand the underlying physics of MOFs, we propose to study the local structure and dynamics in two quartz-like systems: indium deuterium... -
Understanding the Two Step Decomposition of Milled Magnesium Hydride by Neutr...
When MgH2 is processed under relatively mild milling conditions it exhibits a two-step thermal decomposition process where loss of hydrogen is associated with each endothermic... -
Investigation of La2NiO3F2 and defluorinted phases with Ruddlesden-Popper typ...
Ruddlesden-Popper type oxyfluorides are promising materials for the use as electrode materials in fluoride ion batteries. With the insertion and removal of fluoride ions,... -
Cation-Exchanged Dion-Jacobson and Ruddlesden-Popper Phases
Multiferroic materials - those which exhibit spontaneous and switchable electrical and magnetic polarizations - have a wide range of applications. However preparing new... -
Test of a New Supercritical In-Situ Hydrothermal Cell

How molecular solids prepare for phase transitions: The phase transition in o...
Oxalyl chloride (mpt. 260 K), forms an ordered phase at low temperature, but a disordered phase between 250 K and the melting point. In previous beamtime we aimed to carry out... -
Structural investigation of biodegradable Mg-based bulk metallic glass
Mg-Zn-Ca glasses show considerable promise for use as medical implants. Magnesium, zinc and calcium are all elements found within the human body, and the biocompatibility of... -
Structural behaviour of gallium in phosphate glasses for bone cements
Bone cements are an important class of biomaterial used in hard tissue surgery as well as periodontology. Many of these are glass-ionomer cements formed from an aluminosilicate... -
Effects of Local Displacements on Phase Transitions in Sr- and Ca-substituted...
Ferroelectric BaTiO3 (BT) constitutes a base system for many practical applications ranging from classical capacitors to tunable dielectrics. A dielectric response in BT is... -
Magnetic order in new double-perovskite Pb2ScOsO6
Osmates in the perovskite-like structure are very topical. For example, recent discoveries include Slater transitions, and "ferroelectric-like" structural transitions. These... -
Local structure in Ti2AlX (X = Ta, Mo, Nb, Cr or Fe) B2 ordered intermetallic...
Research focused on improving the efficiency of gas turbines is of great importance for energy generation and transportation. A much desired way of achieving this is the... -
Identifying interstitial oxide in a new melilite compound
We have recently developed a computational method to accelerate inorganic materials discovery by identifying compositions that are likely to yield new compounds. To demonstrate... -
