Quenched salt hydrates new ways of probing water clusters.
Very rapid quenching of liquids to form a glass, from which crystalline phases are subsequently obtained by devitrification, is a powerful technique for obtaining novel... -
Role of the microstructure on proton dynamics in BaZrO3 based proton conductors
Proton-conducting, acceptor-doped, BaZrO3 based perovskite oxides are one of the most promising family of compounds for applications as, eg electrolyte materials, in the... -
Variable Temperature Study of thallium and caesium azides
This proposal seeks to investigate the effect of temperature on the structures of thallium and caesium azide. High-resolution neutron powder diffraction data are necessary to... -
Proton dynamics in novel organic ferroelectric materials
The vast majority of known ferroelectrics are inorganic compounds such as barium titanate and potassium dihydrogen phosphate. Contrary to naïve expectation, ferroelectricity in...
