Cross coupling between ferroelectricity and antiferromagnetism in the multife...
We propose to investigate the interplay of magnetic and structural properties in the multiferroic PbFe1/2Nb1/2O3 (PFN). PFN is the magnetic analogue of the archetypal lead based... -
Recovery and characterisation of high-pressure phases in the systems H2O ¿ NH...
The objective of this experiment is to characterise four particular high-pressure polymorphs of various hydrates discovered by us in recent years during work carried out using... -
High pressure behaviour of sulfuric acid tetrahydrate
Our previous work on sulfuric acid tetrahydrate (SAT) identified a monoclinic high-pressure polymorph, which forms at 5.35 kbar when the tetragonal low-pressure phase is warmed... -
Equation of state of ice VI
Ice VI is likely to be a major mantle mineral in the interiors of large icy moons in our solar system, and in large icy extrasolar planets. It is also a common accessory phase... -
Non-uniform elastic deformation of layered crystal structures
The aim of the experiment is to determine the relative compressibility of the structural layers in three 211 MAX phases (Ti2AlC, Ta2AlC and Cr2AlC) using the PEARL-HiPr beam... -
Network compression and pressure-induced amorphisation in Zn(CN)2
Zn(CN)2 is an important material because it shows isotropic NTE over a large temperature range and to an extent more than double that of ZrW2O8. This unusual behaviour...
