We will investigate the structures of the high temperature (RT to 400K) phases of ammonium iodate, and the features that accompany these phase transitions. From our previous...

K2NiF4-type materials have attracted significant interest for a wide range of applications. While perovskite-based Fe oxide fluorides tend not to be thermally stable, e.g....

Recently we have developed a family of fast Li-conducting garnets via doping with Li7-3xGaxLa3Zr2O12 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5) system. The measured bulk conductivities at room...

Very rapid quenching of liquids to form a glass, from which crystalline phases are subsequently obtained by devitrification, is a powerful technique for obtaining novel...

The concept of an aristotype, or equivalently, the basic structure, that represents the highest symmetry crystal structure that can be attained, either experimentally, or...

High-pressure ices III and V each have quite small stability fields; consequently, their physical properties, in particular the P- and T-dependences, are poorly determined. We...

The aim of this experiment is to complete the understanding of the complex nature of the structural and magnetic interactions in the La0.7Sr0.3Mn1-xFexO3 series of materials in...

Novel oxide ceramics with high values of lithium-ion conductivity at ambient temperatures are required as an essential part of the development of new lithium battery...

The perovskite-structured phases and their associated phase transitions remain an enduring topic of study within the solid state sciences due to their importance in both applied...

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...

We propose here a detailed study of the diffuse scattering of ferrocene with the key objective of investigating the origin of the cyclopentadienyl (Cp) ring disorder in this...

The aim of the experiment is to investigate the temperature evolution of the crystal structure for two transition metal oxides with low lattice thermal conductivities. This will...

In a real material the surrounding atoms relax towards a vacancy owing to the removal of the repulsive core of the interatomic potential of the missing atom. This systematic...

Main group metal iodometallate represent a large class of semiconducting materials which display optical and electronic properties of current great interest in relation to the...

BiFeO3 continues to be the most widely studing multiferroic material as a result of its room temperature magnetic and electric ordering. However, many barriers limit the...

We address the detailed atomistic mechanism of ferroelectricity in a new family of oxides typified by the composition CsNbW2O9. Contrary to the mechanism in most ferroelectrics,...

Jadeite, NaAlSi2O6, is a rare, but geologically important clinopyroxene. In the upper part of the transition zone between the upper and lower mantle most pyroxenes are...

Materials adopting the apatite structure are gaining an increasing importance as potential solid-oxide fuel cell electrolytes and for the chemical stabilisation of high level...

We propose to investigate changes that occur in acetylene dicarboxylic acid dihydrate as a function of pressure. This system, for which there is a general paucity of structural...

BiFeO3 is by far the most widely studied multiferroic material and yet many mysteries remain in the phase diagram. One mystery is the crystal structure of the high T gamma...
