Interlayer Dynamics in Graphite Intercalation Compounds
Alkali metals are well-known to form regularly-layered graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) which exhibit a number of novel and practically important structural and... -
Oxygen Dynamics in Y2O3 doped Bi2O3: (Bi0.8Y0.2)2O3 and (Bi0.6Y0.4)2O3
The high ionic conducting delta-phase of Bi2O3 can be stabilized at ambient temperature in a range of compositions, viz., (Bi1-xYx)2O3 (x=0.1 -0.5). We would measure inelastic... -
Vibrational Contribution to the Thermodynamic Properties of Lithium Ion Batte...
We propose to measure phonon density of states in LixFePO4 (x = 0.3, 0.6 and 1.0; three sample) from 300 to 1000 K to understand the role of lithium disorder with change in x... -
Avalanche-like hybrid-improper ferroelectric transition in SrBi2Nb2O9
Improper-ferroelectrics (FE) are the backbone to development towards room-temperature multiferroics and carry the immense technological potential for next-generation...
