Following the formation of Ho2Ge2O7 pyrochlore using high-pressure neutron di...
When synthesised at high pressure and temperature, holmium germanate adopts the pyrochlore structure. Because of its geometry, materials with this structure often have exotic... -
Network compression and pressure-induced amorphisation in Zn(CN)2
Zn(CN)2 is an important material because it shows isotropic NTE over a large temperature range and to an extent more than double that of ZrW2O8. This unusual behaviour... -
Phase Behaviour in Pyrazine and Tetramethylpyrazine.
Pyrazine-I is stable < 302 K, phase II exists from 302-310 K, and phase III from 310-324 K. The known phase-I forms an ordered structure. It is thought that structures of... -
Texture memory and variant selection for steel and titanium and zirconium alloys
The proposed experiment will focus on determining the level of texture memory and variant selection on both heating and cooling for steel and titanium and zirconium alloys with... -
High-pressure structure of ferrosilite FeSiO3 glass
The density-driven structural transformations in ferrosilite glass FeSiO3 will be investigated at pressures increasing to 17.5 GPa. This glass is one of a family of silicate... -
Structures and thermal expansivity of recovered phases of urea II & III
Urea is a prototypical hydrogen-bonded small molecule that has stimulated considerable fundamental research into its structure, elastic properties and polymorphism. Amongst the...
