Ge-Sb-Te chalcogenide alloys are important for applications in advanced (non-volatile) random-access memory based on a reversible switching between the crystalline and amorphous... -
Determination of the accurate crystal structure of Na2ZrO3 and its conversion...
The aim of the proposal is to study the crystal structure of Na2ZrO3, which is one of the key solid-state materials for CO2 capture. Laboratory experiments have established a... -
Structural investigation of a possible magnetically-induced Weyl semi-metal
One of the major themes in solid-state physics is the realisation of exotic types of relativistic electrons which travel at speeds much slower than the speed of light. These... -
Auger recombination in low temperature silicon measured by photo-MuSR technique
We measure electron-hole recombination rate in low-temperature pure silicon using the photo-MuSR technique. The previous works have measured the recombination rate down to -30... -

Recent theoretical work has identified that oxygen octahedral rotations (OORs) in layered perovskites such as RuddlesdenPopper (RP) phases A2[An-1BnO3n+1] can generate... -
Anion order in perovskite oxynitrides
Transition metal oxynitrides with perovskite type structures are an emerging class of materials with optical, photocatalytic, dielectric and magnetoresistive properties that may... -
Simultaneous Microwave Dielectric Spectroscopy and Neutron Diffraction Measur...
Ammonia has been proposed as a high density chemical energy-storage media, which can be safely and reversible stored within low cost saline halides. Here we propose to extend... -
Hydrogen from ammonia using lithium imide metal nitride composites
Light metal amides and imides are a new class of highly active ammonia decomposition catalysts. Indeed, composites of lithium imide and transition metal nitrides are likely to... -
Magnetic structure of the frustrated mixed-valence iridate Ba3LaIr2O9
Mixed-valence iridates are the new playground for studying frustrated magnets and achieving exotic quantum spin liquid ground states. Magnetic interactions in such systems... -
Structural studies of thermochemical and phase-change naterials for heat storage
This proposal seeks to study three systems associated with heat-storage applications using in situ neutron powder diffraction. The first experiment will focus on a sample of... -
Crystal and magnetic structure of new 2D honeycomb iridates
2D honeycomb iridates recently emerged as a possible platform for new class of spin liquid, the Kitaev spin liquid. The candidate materials A2IrO3 (A = Li, Na) in fact undergo... -
Study of structural and phase transitions of carbon dioxide confined in the n...
The properties of fluids confined in nanopores differ from the bulk mainly due to the solid-fluid interactions and the finite pore size. Such phenomena are of fundamental... -
