Neutron diffraction techniques are applied to the study of burned human skeletal remains, for assessing heat-induced changes associated to alterations in bone´s...

Recent studies in our laboratory have shown that a range of A-site deficient perovskite oxides, with carefully tuned chemical compositions, exhibit excellent properties when...

The aim of this proposal is to study the thermal evolution of the structure of two ternary ordered skutterudites, CoGe1.5Q1.5 (Q = S, Te). At room temperature, ordering of the...

Materials that show fast oxide ion conduction have potential applications as electrolytes in devices such as solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), gas sensors and gas separation...

We propose to use neutron scattering to examine the complex structures of some new mixed oxide materials that have applications in catalysis and for their magnetic properties....

Apatites are a large group of chemically and structurally flexible functional materials with important applications as solid electrolytes. The majority of known apatite...

Increasing global population, global warming and depletion of fossil fuels have resulted in a growing need for better energy storage. Lithium-ion batteries are promising devices...

Doped cerias are currently being used as oxide ion conducting electrolyte materials in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). The conduction mechanism in electrolytes is dependent on...
