Understanding the barocaloric effect in Mn3NiN using inelastic neutron scatte...
Materials with large caloric effects offer the opportunity to replace current refrigeration technologies that require the compression of hazardous gases. Whilst magnetocaloric... -
A pair distribution function study to determine the local structure of the ti...
BaTiO3 is the prototypical ferroelectic perovskite and has been well studied for over 60 years. The standard structural picture is that it is cubic and paraelectric at high... -
Total scattering from multiferroic bismuth ferrite at high temperatures
Bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) is the archetypal multiferroic material and as such has been copiously studied using a wide variety of techniques. Despite this, new structural and... -

Mixed alkali environment in chalcohalide glasses for optical applications
Heavy alkali halide sulphide and selenide glasses are promising hosts for active and passive optical devices. Lithium and sodium chalcohalide glasses exhibit high ionic... -
Cation environments in lead-free glasses
BaO+ZnO containing glasses are being studied as an alternative to lead-based glasses because they exhibit excellent dielectric, thermal, optical and crystallisation properties.... -
Structure of SnO-P2O5 glasses doped with heavy metal oxides
The exchange of Pb by Sn in high-refractive index and low temperature process glasses is a common need in pollution control. Here it is planned to study the structure of binary... -

Bismuth Ferrite (BiFeO3) is the archetypal multiferroic material and as such has been copiously studied using a wide variety of techniques. Despite this, new structural and... -
Atomic structure of ternary tin phosphate glasses
Tin phosphate glasses are the alternative as lead-free glasses with zero photoeleastic constant (PEC) for fibers that are used in sensors of electric current. Since the binary... -
Structures of New Oxides from Total Scattering
Our objective is to determine accurate structural models for some novel oxide materials that we have recently prepared using new synthesis approaches, each of which is formed as... -
Cation environment and the tellurite anomaly
We have recently shown that the anomalous behaviour of the Te-O coordination number, nTeO, for binary tellurite glasses is related to the presence of terminal Te=O bonds in... -
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... -
Modifer Interactions in Ternary Tellurite Glasses
We wish to better understand the interaction between alkali and alkaline earth modifiers within the tellurite glass network by measuring neutron correlation functions, T(r)s,... -
Structural behaviour of zinc in low phosphate content glasses for bone cements
Bone cements are an important class of biomaterial used in hard tissue surgery as well as periodontology. Many of these are glass-ionomer cements formed from an aluminosilicate... -
Dynamical disorder or incipient nano-ferroic distortions in CaSnO3 perovskite?
It has always been assumed that CaSnO3 perovskite remains orthorhombic (Pbnm) as a function of temperature up to its melting point, and is rather unremarkable in many ways.... -
The Structure of Lead Tungstate-Phosphate Glasses
Lead tungstate phosphate glasses are of practical interest due to their electrochromic and photochromic properties, with a wide range of practical applications in smart windows,... -
The Nature Of Magnesium Substitution in Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate
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... -
Structural investigation of biodegradable Mg-based bulk metallic glass
Mg-Zn-Ca glasses show considerable promise for use as medical implants. Magnesium, zinc and calcium are all elements found within the human body, and the biocompatibility of... -
The structure and hydrogen bonding of poly(pyridobisimidazole) (PIPD)
PIPD is a polymer with unusual tensile and compressive strength. Inter and intramolecular H-bonding interactions are thought to be responsible for these properties. PIPD is also... -
Magnetic order in new double-perovskite Pb2ScOsO6
Osmates in the perovskite-like structure are very topical. For example, recent discoveries include Slater transitions, and "ferroelectric-like" structural transitions. These...
