Probing Structural Anomalies in LaCoO3 using Neutron Total Scattering
This proposal is concerned with investigating changes in the local structure of LaCoO3 at various temperatures. The arrangement of d-electrons in the transition metal, Co,... -
The Local Structure of Doped α - Tricalcium Phosphate
The biomaterial potential of many calcium phosphates, such as hydroxyapatites and tricalcium phosphates (Ca3(PO4)2, TCP hereafter), have led to much literature attention over... -
Local structure in "disordered" rocksalt cathode materials for Li-ion batteries
New families of materials of cathode materials for Li-ion batteries, with greater capacities, are required to more effectively meet the worlds energy storage demands.... -
In-situ Neutron Diffraction Studies of Lithium Battery Materials
This proposal seeks to test a new battery designed to allow in situ neutron diffraction measurements of lithium ion battery electrodes under charge and discharge. We have... -
Negative thermal expansion in ReO3: anomalous variation with temperature
ReO3 is a well-known oxide framework with unusual thermal expansion behaviour, exhibiting multiple regions of both positive and negative thermal expansion (NTE). We propose to... -
Characterization of local symmetry breaking in superconducting La2-xBaxCuO4 &...
The mechanism of high temperature superconductivity (HTSC) remains unresolved. Of particular interest is the origin of the mysterious pseudogap (PG, a partial gap in the...
