High-pressure studies of energetic materials
This proposal seeks to identify and characterise high-pressure polymorphs of the energetic materials hydroxylammonium perchlorate, CL-20, diaminodinitroethene (FOX-7), and... -
Structural study of high pressure phases of multiferroic BiFeO3
BiFeO3 is a rare example of multiferroic material with a simple perovskite-like structure, having extremely large magnetic ordering temperature (TN = 650 K) and Curie... -
A high pressure structural study of the charge transfer complexes of pyridine...
We propose a high-pressure powder neutron diffraction study of the simple donor-acceptor complexes (C5D5N)...ICl and (C5D5N)...IBr . These are the simplest structurally... -
Pressure and Temperature-Induced Phase Transformations in PbZrO3-BiFeO3 Ceramics
The proposed experiment involves identification of the phase boundaries and determination of the crystal structures of PbZrO3-BiFeO3 (PZ-BF) ceramics as a function of... -
The Pressure and Temperature Dependence of the Structure of Ammonium Triiodide
We have shown that the molecular ionic solids MI3 (M=Tl, Cs, Tl, NH4) undergo structural phase transitions below 3.4 GPa at RT to give the same new high pressure phase (HP) with... -
High pressure studies of the gillespite-structured phase Ba0.5Sr0.5CuSi4O10
We propose to study the pressure-dependence of the crystal structure of the alkaline earth copper phyllo-decaoxotetrasilicate Ba0.5Sr0.5CuSi4O10 to compliment our earlier... -
A high-pressure study of N,N'-dimethylurea
This proposal seeks to explore the high-pressure structural behaviour of N,N¿-dimethylurea. Two new high-pressure forms have been structurally characterised using x-ray methods,... -

This experiment seeks to continue previous work on PEARL, whereby the phase is altered in the room temperature multiferroic BiFeO3 - PbTiO3 using hydrostatic pressure with the... -
A high-pressure study of monovalent bifluorides
This proposal seeks PEARL beam time to conduct the first high-pressure neutron diffraction study of the monovalent azides XDF2, where X = Na, ND4, Cs and Tl. In so doing, we... -
Copy of: The Effect of Pressure on the Crystal Structure Titanium Tetrachloride
At ambient pressure and temperature TiCl4 is a fuming yellow liquid. On cooling it forma a solid composed of essentially isolated tetrahedral molecules; the same structure is...
