Deuteration-induced phase transition in a multiferroic framework material
The hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites are of great interest as functional materials, because they combine the well-established perovskite topology with new physics and... -
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... -
Understanding Deep Earth Mineralogy: A High P/T study of CaSiO3 Perovskite
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,... -
Apatite-type Oxides for Energy Applications: Symmetry Distortion Mode Analysi...
Apatites are a large group of chemically and structurally flexible functional materials with important applications as solid electrolytes. The majority of known apatite... -
Monitoring crystallisation of Y3Al5O12 (YAG) under supercritical conditions u...
This proposal seeks 2 days on POLARIS in order to study hydrothermal chemical syntheses of yttrium aluminium garnet, Y3Al5O12 (YAG) in supercritical water using the... -
Low temperature structural changes of complex ferroelectric La2Ti2O7
La2Ti2O7 is part of an intriguing family of layered perovskite-related materials which display an unusual type of ferroelectricity. In contrast to standard ABO3 perovskites (in...
