Compressibility and Tilting of Polyhedra within Sr2NiMoO6 at High Pressure
Ordered double perovskites (also known as elpasolites) have the general formula A2BBO6 where A is generally a rare earth metal or alkaline earth metal and where B and B are... -
Continuation of "Magnetic excitations in the quantum spin ice Yb2Ti2O7"
We have recently carried out an inelastic neutron scattering experiment at LET in order to investigate the excitations in the quantum spin ice Yb2Ti2O7. The single crystal... -
A high-temperature neutron powder determination of the phase transition and c...
Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) is a solar cell material of great interest. However the material when fabricated, although of high symmetry, contains substantial defect concentration and a... -
Aggregation behaviour of PEGylated ibuprofen
In the present study the acidic, anti-inflammatory drug, ibuprofen has been PEGylated using an polyoxyethylene chain of 750 molecular weight. The consequence of this PEGylation... -
Tilting transition and dimensionality crossover of anion chain order in Ba1-x...
Transition metal oxynitride perovskites are an emerging class of functional materials. However, their oxide/nitride ordering principles were unclear until a recent study of the... -
Roles of magnetic anisotropy and inter site exchange interactions in the temp...
NdMnO3 exhibits A-type antiferromagnetism with TN =73 K. At 15 K, Nd sublattice orders with a (0, -Fy, 0) type ferromagnetic arrangement. Mn spin reorientation from (Ax, Fy, 0)... -
From small compositional changes to large distortions - a new relaxor energy-...
[BiZn2/3NbO3]x-[BaTiO3]1-x for x up to roughly 0.2, known as BZN-BT is a complex made from one of the most studied materials in the world, BaTiO3 (BT), doped with Bismuth Zinc... -
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... -
The quest for fully hydrogen-ordered ice XIV
Water ice displays a remarkably complex phase diagram containing pairs of hydrogen-ordered / disordered phases. Ice XII is a hydrogen-disordered phase and ice XIV is its... -
In-situ Battery Discharge Studies of Thermal Batteries using Transition Metal...
Thermal batteries find use in applications such as emergency power systems and ejector seats in aircraft. They operate at elevated temperatures of around 400-500 °C, where the... -
Thermoelastic Properties of Thermoelectric PbSe I HRPD
We propose to study the effect of pressure and temperature on the crystal structure and the elastic properties of lead selenide, an important material for conversion of waste... -
