Structural characterisation of new thermoelectric oxide solid solutions
Thermoelectrics are materials that produce a voltage when subjected to a thermal gradient, and can therefore be used to generate electricity from waste heat. Such materials are... -
The Magnetic Structure of LaCoxMn1-xO3 (x = 0.75)
It is the aim of the current proposal to examine in detail the magnetic structure of LaCo0.75Mn0.25O3 at low temperature, which should provide insight into the nature of the... -
Characterisation of the low temperature phase transition in Pb(CD3COO)2 .3D...
We propose to use high resolution neutron powder diffraction for the study of the nuclear structure of Pb(CD3COO)2.3D2O in its low-temperature phase and to characterise with... -
The ferroelectric phase transition in Dion-Jacobson layered perovskites - con...
Ferroelectricity in the Dion-Jacobson (DJ) family of layered perovskites arises from a 'trilinear coupling', whereby two non-polar lattice modes interact in such a way to... -
Kinetics of the ordering transition in ice Ih; crystal structure and thermal ...
Below 80 K ordinary water ice (ice Ih) undergoes a phase transition in which the randomly oriented molecules in the crystal adopt an ordered orientation. This ordered form of... -
Understanding the "post-perovskite" structure (I): the Behaviour of CaPtO3 at...
Recently, our view of the Earth¿s lower mantle changed dramatically. It had been thought that two major phases were present throughout all of the lower mantle:... -
Particle dispersions in ODS Nano-Structured Ferritic Alloys
Oxide-dispersion-strengthened (ODS) materials are under development for use in applications in both nuclear fission and nuclear fusion power generation. The materials offer... -
High-Temperature Crystal Structure of Aluminium-Substituted La(Sr)Ga(Mg)O3-d ...
Due to a high-oxide ion conductivity, strontium and magnesium co-substituted lanthanum gallate (LSGM) is considered as a potential electrolyte material for solid oxide fuel... -
Structural phase transitions in ferroelectric layered perovskite oxides
Recent theoretical work has identified that oxygen octahedral rotations (OORs) in layered perovskites such as RuddlesdenPopper (RP) phases A2[An-1BnO3n+1] can generate... -

Structural Aspects and Magnetic Order in Fe based perovskite oxide fluorides ...
In this work, we will investigate the structures (crystallographic and magnetic) of Mn5VO8 and a range of Fe containing perovskite oxide fluorides. In terms of the former, this... -
Cation-exchanged layered perovskite oxides
Ferroelectric materials (those which exhibit spontaneous and switchable electrical polarizations) have a wide range of applications. However preparing new ferroelectric... -
Structural studies of the cycling and decomposition of Mg(NH3)6(BH4)2
Given its high hydrogen gravimetric density, ammonia may be utilised as a hydrogen carrier, and thus ammonia stores are an area of interest. It is known that Mg(BH4)2 takes up... -
Electronically-driven structural transition in Ti-doped Ca3Ru2O7
The purpose of the experiment is to determine the effect of titanium doping on the structural and magnetic transitions of Ca3Ru2O7. The pure material undergoes a Néel transition... -

Oxides that exhibit significant proton conductivity at elevated temperatures are candidates for different electrochemical applications, such as hydrogen sensors, membranes for... -
Low temperature crystallography on two new compounds with mobile cations
Structure solution of materials with very high ionic mobilities, and/or small populations of moderately mobile ions is hampered because the scattering from these ions is... -
Order-disorder transitions in ternary unfilled skutterudites
The aim of this proposal is to study the thermal evolution of the structure of two ternary ordered skutterudites, CoGe1.5Q1.5 (Q = S, Te). At room temperature, ordering of the... -
