Investigation of new phase, MnBi2, by in situ high-pressure neutron diffraction
Permanent magnets are essential for renewable energy technologies such as electric cars and wind turbines. Global demand for magnets is increasing, however, the elements used to... -
Pressure-temperature phase diagram of of the Jahn-Teller transition in LaMnO3
The parent compound LaMnO3 of the hole-doped colossal magnetoresistance materials La1-xAxMnO3 (A = Ca, Sr, Ba etc.) has attracted much interest from condensed matter scientists.... -
The high-pressure structures of carbon dioxide hydrate
The gas hydrates offer potential as hydrogen and carbon dioxide storage materials for use either in transport applications or for carbon sequestration. We have discovered a... -
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...
