Investigation into the reversibility of TiCl4 doped NaALH4 using MAPS
Hydrogen Storage still remains the technology bottleneck for a more widespread use of hydrogen. Solid complex hydrides such as amides, alanates and borohydrides have been... -
Spin and cation order in AMn3B4O12 perovskites
A-site-ordered perovskite oxides with formula AA'3B4O12 have a rich variety of physical and chemical properties. Most have Jahn-Teller active Cu2+ or Mn3+ at the square-planar... -
Investigating the ammoniation of light metal hydrides for hydrogen storage ap...
Light-metal hydride and amide systems are currently among the most promising materials for reversible hydrogen storage. In this proposal, we ask for 3 days on POLARIS or GEM to... -
Competing degenrate magnetic states in Ba1-xNaxFe2As2
Magnetic and superconducting ground states have been proposed to coexist in a relatively narrow compositional range in the so-called 122 pnictide superconductors. We recently... -
Na order and diffusion in NaxCoO2: Part II
Recently there have been reports that high-temperature sodium order and dynamics in NaxCoO2 (NCO) can strongly influence both the electronic & magnetic properties at low... -
Structural study of the higher oxidation states of the nickel positive electrode
Although the first patents involving the nickel positive electrode are more than 100 years old, our understanding of the phases involved in this system is still not complete. As... -

Understanding enhanced thermoelectric properties of sodium cobaltate doped by...
The thermoelectric power factor for (Na1-y¿My¿)0.8CoO2 is dramatically increased when M = Sr, but it is essentally unchanged from the pure compound when M = Ca. Our previous SXD... -
Local structural effects in doped NaNbO3 ferroelectrics
Derivatives of the perovskite NaNbO3 are currently being studied as benign replacements for piezoelectric Pb(Zr,Ti)O3. In order to understand the structure-composition-property... -
