Incompressibility, crystal structure and Anderson-Grüneisen parameter of orth...
The ambient-pressure Pnma phase of NiSi is a technologically important material used to form contacts in microelectronics. Recently we carried out the first study of NiSi at... -
Elemental Boron synthesized in supercritical metallic solvents at high pressu...
Our recent high (P,T) developments at PEARL beamline will allow us to study the kinetic and thermodynamic behavior of boron 11B under pressures up to 12 GPa and temperatures up... -
Neutron Total Scattering of Crystalline Materials in the Gigapascal Regime
Over the past few years, extensive developments have been made in the use of neutron diffraction for structural studies of liquids and amorphous materials at high pressure.... -
Characterising new high-pressure phases of ammonia monohydrate
Over the past two years I have carried out high-pressure surveys of the ammonia monohydrate (AMH) phase diagram using a Paris-Edinburgh press mounted on the D20 beam-line at the... -
High-pressure neutron diffraction studies of valence transitions in ACu3Fe4O12
Two new A-site ordered perovskite structure oxides, CaCu3Fe4O12 and LaCu3Fe4O12, were recently synthesized under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions in Kyoto. These... -
Phase behaviour of methane clathrate under conditions relevant to Titan's int...
Methane clathrates are likely to be an important constituent of icy satellite interiors and a source of methane in the atmosphere of Saturn's giant satellite Titan. There is... -
Following the formation of Ho2Ge2O7 pyrochlore using high-pressure neutron di...
When synthesised at high pressure and temperature, holmium germanate adopts the pyrochlore structure. Because of its geometry, materials with this structure often have exotic... -
