In-situ reaction of lithium amide or imide with manganese(IV) oxide
We request 3 days beam time on POLARIS for in-situ powder diffraction studies of the reactions of lithium amide or lithium imide with manganese(IV) oxide under flowing argon or... -
Hydrogen bonding in monoclinic jarosites
Jarosite minerals are of great importance to a range of mineral processing and research applications, as well as significant to the understanding of the environmental history of... -
Mass-selective Neutron Spectroscopy of Molten FLiBe
We request time on VESUVIO to study the properties of FLiBe using mass-resolved neutron spectroscopy (MANSE). FLiBe is a mixture of BeF2 and LiF and its physical properties in... -
Magnetic ordering in new multi-anion solids: Sr2Fe3Se2O3 and Sr2Cr3As2O2
We have identified new multi-anion solids with transition metals in unusual coordination environments and with apparently complex magnetic ordering. This experiment proposed for... -
Reentrant Structural Transitions and Collapse of Charge and Orbital Orders in...
A-site ordered quadruple perovskites, AA3B4O12, show many interesting physical and chemical properties, for example, inter-site charge transfer and disproportionation, giant... -
