High-Temperature Neutron Diffraction of Thermoelectric Materials
We wish to investigate the origin of the promising thermoelectic performance of oxy-chalcogenides BiOCuQ (Q = S, Se, Te) and related phases. We wish to explore whether the low... -
Structures and Chemistry of new layered oxychalcogenides
We propose to use POLARIS to obtain detailed structural information on a series of new lithium-containing layered oxychalcogenides and to investigate the ordering of lithium... -
manufacture and standardisation of English Monumental letters
English brass letters form the earliest remains from decorated tombslabs of the period 1250 - 1350AD. The letters can be classified in several stylistic groups, and a certain... -
High pressure studies of the gillespite-structured phase Ba0.5Sr0.5CuSi4O10
We propose to study the pressure-dependence of the crystal structure of the alkaline earth copper phyllo-decaoxotetrasilicate Ba0.5Sr0.5CuSi4O10 to compliment our earlier... -
Structures and magnetism of chemical and electrochemical deintercalates of la...
We propose to use POLARIS to perform two related experiments. Firstly we will investigate the structures and compositions of derivatives of some layered Mn/Cu oxysulfides which... -
Tuning B-B exchange in the R2MnMn(Mn4-xTix)O12 quadruple perovskite manganites
For the RMn3O6 manganites, we have shown that tuning A-B exchange, by choice of A-site cation or by doping magnetic impurities, gives rise to dramatically different magnetic... -
Structures of LiFeP and the solid solution LiFeAs1-xPx
In this experiment we will determine the detailed structure of the 6 K superconductor LiFeP and phases close in composition which are iron rich: Li1-xFe1+xP. This will enable... -
Verifying recycling and reshaping activity on Copper and Early Bronze Age met...
The aim of this study is to determinate the production methods of metal artefacts from the Alpine region in the Copper and Early Bronze Age. In particular, patterns indicating... -
Correlation of structures, compositions and magnetism of copper-deficient lay...
This is part of a larger experiment which will investigate three related systems which contain copper deficient anti-fluorite-type copper sulfide layers. The overall aim is to... -
