Understanding pressure-driven structural and magnetic properties in LaFeO3
This proposal is concerned with determining variations in the high pressure crystallographic and magnetic structure of LaFeO3. LaFeO3 is a characteristic example of... -
Evolution of the structure of the Li/ND3 intercalate of FeSe with pressure
This experiment follows our ambient pressure characterisation of the Li intercalate of FeSe which is a superconductor with a Tc of 43 K. Li atoms, amide ions and ammonia... -
Understanding the structure-propagated compression and decompression of zeoli...
Zeolites are incredibly useful porous aluminosilicate materials. We use them both domestically (pool water purification, washing powders, pet litter, odor removal, water... -
Behaviour of hexamethylenetetramine hexahydrate to 5 GPa
The title compound, more succinctly referred to as HMT-hydrate, is a rare example of a water-framework zeolite structure with an organic guest molecule hydrogen bonded to the... -
Pressure-induced phase transitions in methylammonium lead iodide
Methylammonium lead iodide has recently been recognised as an excellent photovoltaic material, with energy conversion efficient of over 20% with the prospect of gaining higher... -
The pressure response of the new superconductor LiFeAs
We will probe the response of the 18K superconductor LiFeAa to pressures of up to 2 GPa in order to investigate the evolution of the crystal structure. In particular we wish to... -
Pressure-Induced Linkage Isomerism in a Prussian Blue Analogue
The Prussian blue analogue K0.4Fe4[Cr(CN)6]2.8.16H2O (1) is a soft ferromagnet at ambient pressure with a critical temperature (Tc) of 19 K. Bridging cyanides are oriented in...
