Neutron Diffraction Studies on Yb3(GaGe)10 compound
A new compound Yb3(GaGe)10 compound was obtained from the reactions by using indium and gallium respectively as reactive metal flux. Available laboratory Xray crystallography... -
Neutron Diffraction Studies on CaCrFe3As3 compound
We propose to obtain 3 days of beam time on SXD equipped with its new top-loading CCR to analyze CaCrFe3As3 single crystals at different temperatures 10 K, 100 K and 300 K (the... -
Radiation induced hydrogen abstraction - A combined X-ray and neutron diffrac...
X-ray induced radiation damage drastically limits the structural information accessible in diffraction experiments from macromolecules at 3rd generation synchrotrons. Relatively... -
Short range order in triglycine sulphate above the phase transition temperature
We want to better understand the intermolecular interactions in deuterated triglycine sulphate (DTGS). DTGS is a hydrogen bonded ferroelectric with a second-order, order... -
The short hydrogen bond in organic crystal structures revisited: (T,p) phase ...
Very short hydrogen bonds (with O···O separations <2.5Å), in which the position and behaviour of the protons are often ambiguous, have been the subject of many studies by... -
Complexity in simplicity: disentangling Pb2+ disorder in PbS, PbSe and PbTe
We ask for 5 days on SXD to study the detailed crystal structures of PbS, PbSe and PbTe to resolve long-standing, topical controversies about the detailed behaviour of this... -
Uridine 5¿-monophosphate potassium salt [K(UMP)] single-crystal neutron diffr...
To perform charge density studies for a series of uridine 5¿-monophosphate potassium salts which differ one from another due to the different amount of potassium atoms and water... -
The high pressure structure of deuterium
Of all the stable elements hydrogen(deuterium) is the least well studied from a structural point of view. Not one of its crystal structures has been fully charecterised. This... -
Determination of the low temperature crystal structure of Fe3O4
The aim of this proposal is to determine the crystal structure of Fe3O4 (magnetite) in its low temperature phase below the Verwey transition. Despite a considerable amount of... -
Superstructures in insulating and metallic lanthanum-doped sodium cobaltate
The thermoelectric properties of NaxCoO2 can be substantially improved by replacing Na ions by cations of higher valence. Our neutron diffraction studies on SXD for doping with... -
Tuning the proton behaviour of a short strong intermolecular hydrogen bond as...
We have created very short intermolecular hydrogen bonds in benzoic acid "dimers" by co-crystallisation of these into molecular complexes with the proton sponge... -
Superstructures in lithium cobaltate
The battery material LixCoO2 has recently been shown to have high thermopower comparable to NaxCoO2 at high x. In the case of NaxCoO2 we showed using neutron Laue diffraction on... -
Accurate H atomic parameters for charge densities in polymorphic materials
Polymorphism is a common feature of many molecular materials The "Holy Grail" would be the ability to predict the appearance of polymorphism in a particular molecular system,... -
Anisotropic Displacement Parameters and Diffuse Scattering in Graphite
The accurate description of van-der-Waals forces within DFT is currently one of the most active areas of research in computational physics and chemistry. In the case of soft... -
Superstructures in high-Tc La(2-x)Sr(x)CuO(4+y)
Previous powder diffraction studies of the superoxygenated La(2-x)Sr(x)CuO(4+y) (LSCO+O) system have not provided a model describing the superstructures of the intercalated... -
Wide-angle neutron scattering study of the unusual nematic-nematic transition...
An intriguing unknown variant of the nematic liquid-crystal phase (Nx) has been discovered first in a class of main-chain polymers, and later in LC dimers connected via an... -
Neutron Diffraction Studies on Double-Hydrogen-Bridged Diborane(4) Compound
The object of the proposed experiment is to definitively locate hydrogen atoms on the extraordinary short B¿B bond by single crystal neutron diffraction method. Because the... -
Radiation induced hydrogen abstraction - A combined X-ray and neutron diffrac...
X-ray induced radiation damage drastically limits the structural information accessible in diffraction experiments from macromolecules at 3rd generation synchrotrons. Relatively... -
Quantum Spin Ice ground states and Structural Disorder in non-Kramers rare-ea...
Pyrochlore oxides based on non-Kramers rare-earth ions, such as Pr3+ and Tb3+, are candidate materials for the formation of the Quantum Spin Ice. However, structural disorder is...
