Water Binding and Solvent Dynamics in Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents
Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) are molecular mixtures similar to ionic liquids, having melting points below room temperature. However instead of being composed of a salt, the... -
Alkali ions dependent collective excitations in borate glasses
Recently, it has been suggested that the First Sharp Diffraction Peak (FSDP) in glasses arises from a quasi-periodicity of void spaces in the structure, that plays the role of... -
Quenched salt hydrates new ways of probing water clusters.
Very rapid quenching of liquids to form a glass, from which crystalline phases are subsequently obtained by devitrification, is a powerful technique for obtaining novel... -
Investigating the magnetic structure of the solid solution PrCr(1-x)MnxO3
Rare-earth (A= La, Ce, Nd, Pr) orthochromites (A CrO3) and orthomanganites (A MnO3) are of interest due to the number of unusual physical properties they possess, displaying... -
Comparison of Dynamical Behaviour in MAPbX3 and FAPbX3: How Do They Differ ?
Organic-inorganic lead halide perovskite compounds are shown to be very promising candidates for low cost, solution-processable, highly efficient (>22%) solar cells with a... -
Dynamics of Ethylene Glycol based Deep Eutectic Solvents: Effect of Cations
Deep eutectic solvents (DES) formed from a mixture of hydrogen-bond donors and metal salts, is a novel variety of solvents that have been synthesized and studied extensively. In... -
Stochastic Cation Dynamics in Photovoltaic Hybrid Perovskites under Pressure
Methylammonium lead iodide (MAPI) is one the most promising materials for photovoltaics. Notwithstanding the above, access to its phase diagram and the underlying structural...
