High-pressure and high-temperature studies of CL-20, HMX, and TATB
The aims of this proposal are to explore the high-pressure, high-temperature behaviour of 3important energetic materials - CL-20, HMX and TATB. These experiments are expected... -
High-pressure studies of energetic materials
This proposal seeks to identify and characterise high-pressure polymorphs of the energetic materials hydroxylammonium perchlorate, CL-20, diaminodinitroethene (FOX-7), and... -
High-pressure studies of inorganic azides
This proposal seeks to identify and structurally characterise the high-pressure phases of the azide salts of sodium, silver, lead, and the ammonium ion. Azides are examples of... -
High-pressure and variable-temperature studies of RDX
Previous studies have suggested that a high-pressure form of the widely used secondary explosive RDX can be obtained above ~4 GPa and 488 K. This phase is reported to be... -
Structural study of high pressure phases of multiferroic BiFeO3
BiFeO3 is a rare example of multiferroic material with a simple perovskite-like structure, having extremely large magnetic ordering temperature (TN = 650 K) and Curie...
