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, high-temperature studies of energetic materials - RDX and HMX
One of the aims of this proposal is to quench to ambient pressure a metastable form of the widely used secondary explosive RDX. This is formed above ~4.5 GPa and 448 K but is... -
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... -

The Effect of Pressure on the Crystal Structure of Serine Hydrate
Serine monohydrate undergoes a phase transition at 5.2 GPa which involves reorientation of water molecules. It appears that this disrupts H-bonding elsewhere in the crystal,... -
Pressure and Temperature-Induced Phase Transformations in PbZrO3-BiFeO3 Ceramics
The proposed experiment involves identification of the phase boundaries and determination of the crystal structures of PbZrO3-BiFeO3 (PZ-BF) ceramics as a function of... -
A high-pressure study of N,N'-dimethylurea
This proposal seeks to explore the high-pressure structural behaviour of N,N¿-dimethylurea. Two new high-pressure forms have been structurally characterised using x-ray methods,... -
Phase Behaviour in Pyrazine and Tetramethylpyrazine.
Pyrazine-I is stable < 302 K, phase II exists from 302-310 K, and phase III from 310-324 K. The known phase-I forms an ordered structure. It is thought that structures of...
