Total scattering study of the orientational phase transition in para-terphenyl
There is currently a resurgence of interest in phase transitions in orientationally disordered molecular crystals. This is partly driven by the fact that new experimental and... -
Investigating the magnetic structure of the solid solution PrCr(1-x)MnxO3
Rare-earth (A= La, Ce, Nd, Pr) orthochromites (A CrO3) and orthomanganites (A MnO3) are of interest due to the number of unusual physical properties they possess, displaying... -
Total scattering from multiferroic bismuth ferrite
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... -
Local structure in defect fluorite disordered Er2Zr2O7 and pyrochlore ordered...
Cubic A2B2O7 oxides with A standing for a rare-earth element and B for a transition or main block metal have been systematically studied for their frequently exotic... -
Search for new hydrogen, helium and neon hydrates at high pressure
This proposal is for time to search for predicted gas hydrates at high pressure. The results will provide insight into the factors governing the stability of the H-bonded... -
Understanding the local structure of Li6PS5X (X = Cl, Br, I) and its impact o...
Cubic Argyrodites, Li6PS5X, are promising candidates for solid state electrolytes and much effort is put in understanding their structure property relation. NMR studies... -
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.... -
Structure and dynamics of quartz-like metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)
As part of an ongoing effort to understand the underlying physics of MOFs, we propose to study the local structure and dynamics in two quartz-like systems: indium deuterium... -
The structure of LiPON and NaPON glass
Lithium (LiPO3) and sodium (NaPO3) metaphosphate glasses show improved ionic conductivity when some of the oxygen in the phosphate tetrahedron is replaced by nitrogen. As such... -
Further crystal field excitation data for pyrochlore zirconates.
Nd2Zr2O7 (NZO), synthesized and supplied to us by Tokura and Onose, is a new candidate spin ice while Pr2Zr2O7 (PZO) if anything even more promising is supplied to us by... -
How molecular solids prepare for phase transitions: The phase transition in o...
Oxalyl chloride (mpt. 260 K), forms an ordered phase at low temperature, but a disordered phase between 250 K and the melting point. In previous beamtime we aimed to carry out... -
Investigation of complex magnetic structure and the role of frustration using...
The quasi-kagome Kondo lattice CeRhSn exhibits intrinsic quantum criticality induced by geometrical frustration. Divergent Grüneisen ratios provide evidence for a zero-field... -
Effects of Local Displacements on Phase Transitions in Sr- and Ca-substituted...
Ferroelectric BaTiO3 (BT) constitutes a base system for many practical applications ranging from classical capacitors to tunable dielectrics. A dielectric response in BT is... -
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... -
Understanding composition-driven anomalous tetragonality in a ferroelectric s...
The primary aim of this proposal to investigate a series of newly discovered Bi- containing ferroelectric systems based on Bi(MeMe)O3-PbTiO3 perovskite through studying their... -
Spin wave excitations in the 2D honeycomb ferromagnets
Graphene is the single layer of honeycomb-shaped carbon network, for which 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded thanks to its novel electronic properties. One of such...
