LiFePO4 (LFP) is a commercially used Li ion battery material for high power applications. Particle shape and surface play an important role in the Li diffusion and thus the... -
Stochastic Cation Dynamics in Photovoltaic Hybrid Perovskites under Pressure
Methylammonium lead iodide (MAPI) is one the most promising materials for photovoltaics. Notwithstanding the above, access to its phase diagram and the underlying structural... -
Understanding the structure of sunscreen formulations: where does the active ...
The negative effects of exposure to ultraviolet rays, 290-400 nm, are well known. Long exposures to these rays often cause skin damage (e.g. skin burns, melanoma). Topical... -
Determining the interaction between water and carbon dioxide in smectite clay...
Interactions between CO2 and clay minerals have attracted interest in the scientific community recently. This is partly motivated by the presence of large amounts of clays in... -
Structure of lipid monolayers following oxidative damage
Lipids form the major component of cell membranes, which separate the contents of the cell from the external environment. The oxidation of lipids within biological membranes is... -
Spin structure of magnetic exchange springs wound at remanence
In a soft magnetic material the directions of the internal magnetic moments are easily changed by an external magnetic field while in a hard magnetic material they are not. In a... -
Impact of in-situ strain-tuning on the magnetic structure of Ca3Ru2O7
We propose to perform high-resolution neutron diffraction on strained Ca3Ru2O7, a material in which electron correlations, spin-orbit coupling and crystal fields combine to...
