Low-temperature structural phase transitions in CuSeO4·5D2O and CuBeF4·5D2O
The isostructural family of compounds that includes the familiar copper sulfate pentahydrate and the two less familiar title materials, has for decades been a model for studying... -
In-situ high-resolution study of the Pd-D2 system after passage over the ther...
Our previous HRPD experiment on the Pd-D2 system resolved the long-standing controversy over the occupation of T interstitial sites by D, showing that T sites are occupied owing... -
Hydrates in the binary system waterdimethylsulfoxide
Mixture of water and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) are useful as preservative liquids for the storage of living cells at very low temperatures, such that they can be revived and used... -
Variable temperature studies of x = 0.10, 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75, Bi1-xNaxFe1-xN...
Multiferroic materials exhibiting at least two ferroic orders are the subject of extensive research due to many potential technological applications. Bismuth ferrite (BFO) is by... -
Thermoelastic properties of ammonium sulfate, (ND4)2SO4, and the P-T dependen...
Ammonium sulfate exhibits a first-order phase transition upon cooling through ~ 224 K at room pressure, from a paraelectric to a ferroelectric crysta. There are outstanding... -
Kinetics of the ordering transition in ice Ih; crystal structure and thermal ...
Below 80 K ordinary water ice (ice Ih) undergoes a phase transition in which the randomly oriented molecules in the crystal adopt an ordered orientation. This ordered form of... -
Structural Studies of Li(ND3)n11BD4
On exposure to ammonia, Li(11)BD4 forms the ammoniate Li(11)BD4(ND3)n. Our recent experiment (RB820252) has shown that there are four distinct crystalline phases in the... -
Probing structural subtleties in hydrated lithium-rich anti-perovskites (LiRAPs)
Many of the devices currently used for energy storage (e.g., batteries, solar cells) use liquid electrolytes that are known to pose a serious fire and safety risk. However, the... -
Spontaneous strain and framework distortion in hybrid Prussian blue analogues
The metal-organic Prussian blue analogues (HIm)2K[M(CN)6], where HIm is the imidazolium cation and M = Fe or Co, have switchable dielectric constants, since the imidazolium ions... -
Investigating temperature dependent magnetic and crystal structures of misfit...
Thermoelectric materials provide an alternative route for refrigeration and power generation bydirect conversion between thermal and electrical energy. With high chemical... -
A Self-consistent Description of the Thermoelastic Properties of Dielectric P...
20 years ago, Anderson proposed that the thermoelastic properties of the dominant (mantle) phase within the Earth, MgSiO3 perovskite, could be described as a simple Debye solid.... -
Me-ND311BD4: a temperature dependent study of its crystal structure and decom...
We request 4 days on HRPD with the IGAn apparatus to follow the structural changes of Me-ND4 11BD4 as a function of temperature. The high resolution of HRPD will allow us to... -
High-Resolution High-Pressure Study of the Elpasolite Perovskite La2NiMnO6
This proposal sets out to investigate the high pressure behaviour of the double perovskitematerial with the chemical formula La2NiMnO6. The properties of this and related... -
Thermal expansion of persubstituited aromatics I: benzene.
Benzene is probably the most studied compound in the history of organic chemistry. Whenever a new experimental technique or theoretical method is being developed most of the... -
Intercalation Mechanisms and Crystal Chemical Lithium Environments in High-Ra...
In this proposal, we seek to explore the crystal chemical environment of intercalated lithium in three related Nb-based oxide materials in order to resolve a mechanistic... -
Neutron diffraction study on the lattice structure of rare-earth chalcogenide...
The frustrated quantum magnets have attracted a lot of attention with the ability of hosting the exotic quantum spin states. It has been believed that the degenerate ground... -

Continued studies of the high temperature structural behaviour of Ca2Mn3O8
We recently synthesised a new layered manganes oxide with a frustrated connectivity of Mn4+ ions. Variable temperature studies demonstrated a deviation from linearity at... -
Study of alcohols by Transmission and Deep Inelastic Neutron Scattering measu...
Many of the structural and dynamical properties of alcohols are due to the existence of intermolecular hydrogen bonds. It is of general interest the study of their dynamic and... -
