Magnetic structure of noncentrosymmetric CeZnAl3
The Ce-based materials CeTX3 (T=transition metal, X= Si, Ge, Al) crystallizing in the noncentrosymmetric BaNiSn3-type structure, have been found to display a wealth of novel... -
Photocrystallography in retinal
Retinal plays a key role in visual perception. In the ground state it occurs in the cis form with a bent side chain, whilst after light exposure it assumes the trans form with... -
Investigation of the nuclear and magnetic structures of GaV4S8-ySey materials
Skyrmions, nano-sized topological objects, have recently been found in GaV4S8 and GaV4Se8 materials. In the search of new Skyrmion hosting materials, we have synthesised the... -
Oxide ion defects distribution and conduction pathways in apatite-type silicates
Apatites are functional materials with important potential applications as solid electrolytes, and also as biomaterials, ceramics for nuclear waste immobilisation, and... -
Pressure Effects on Proton Migration 3,5-pyridinedicarboxylic Acid
Hydrogen bonds are ubiquitous in materials across the chemical spectrum, from inorganic to biological. They influence the structure, the functionality, and therefore the... -
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... -
Temperature Dependent Neutron Diffraction Studies on the Phase Transition in ...
Eu2AuGe3 was synthesized by metal flux method. Room temperature single crystal XRD data shows that this compound crystallizes within the orthorhombic Ca2AgSi3 type structure....
