Effects of colored disorder on the heat conductivity of SiGe alloys from firs...
Semiconducting alloys, in particular SiGe, have been employed for several decades as high- temperature thermoelectric materials. Devising strategies to reduce their thermal... -
Vibrational density of States and Occupational Disorder in the Halogenomethanes
Halogenomethane derivatives exhibit thermally induced solid¿solid phase transitions before melting that are attributed to the ability to gain rotational degrees of freedom in... -
In-situ Specific Heat Measurements and Order Disorder Phase Transition Studie...
We request 4 days on HRPD to perform combined specific heat and neutron powder diffraction measurements of C60 and the molecular hydrogen storage materials, ammonia borane and... -
The role of Disorder in Phase Transitions in some manganese Perovskites
The aim of this work is to understand the origin of the difference in the behaviour between the two doped manganites Sr0.65Pr0.35MnO3 and Sr0.70Ce0.30MnO3. The hypothesis we... -
Investigation of Atomic Disorder Effects in Ti1-xZrxNiSn
We propose to investigate the arrangement of Ti, Zr, Ni and Sn over the 4 available atomic sites in the half-Heusler structure for the title series. This will help rationalise... -
Disorder and ion mobility in Li4BH4(NH2)3 and Li2BH4NH2
Hydrogen storage is a significant area of energy materials research and there have been extensive efforts into the discovery and development of lightweight materials. Although... -
Hydrogen Disorder in the molecular complex 5-fluorocytosine: 3,5-dinitrobenzo...
As part of our program in understanding hydrogen bonding systems, exploiting crystal engineering in our synthesis of complexes containing desired HB motifs, we investigate... -
Disorder in substituted beta-tricalcium phosphate for waste immobilisation
We have a long established interest in the materials used for the immobilisation of nuclear waste from the domestic power industry and legacy waste from various defence... -
Defects and Medium-Range Disorder in the Metal¿Organic Framework UiO-66
We wish to use NIMROD to study the distribution and nature of defect sites in the high-thermal-stability metal-organic framework UiO-66. For the most part, defect structures in...
