High-pressure and high-temperature studies of CL-20, HMX, and TATB
The aims of this proposal are to explore the high-pressure, high-temperature behaviour of 3important energetic materials - CL-20, HMX and TATB. These experiments are expected... -
A high pressure study of the alpha-form of acetylene dicarboxylic acid dihydrate
We propose to investigate changes that occur in acetylene dicarboxylic acid dihydrate as a function of pressure. This system, for which there is a general paucity of structural... -
PTM dependant polymorphism of acrylamide
Our recent X-ray and single crystal studies have shown that acrylamide can undergo different phase transformations depending on the pressure transmitting medium used i.e.... -
A High-pressure Study of the Crystal Structures of CsDF2, ND4DF2 & TlDF2
This proposal seeks PEARL and HRPD beam time to study the pressure and temperature dependence of the crystal structures of deuterated caesium, ammonium and thallium bifluoride.... -
High-pressure and high-temperature studies of N-guanylurea dinitramide (FOX-1...
The aims of this proposal are to explore the high-pressure, high-temperature behaviour of 2 important energetic materials - N-guanylurea dinitramide (FOX-12) and... -
High-pressure studies of insenitive explosives: 2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN) and...
The aims of this proposal are to explore the high-pressure, high-temperature behaviour of 2 important energetic materials - 2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN) and nitrotriazalone (NTO).... -
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... -
Polymorphism and polymerisation of methacrylic acid
This proposal seeks to explore the polymorphism and polymerisation of methacrylic acid using high pressure. We have recently studied acrylic acid at high pressure using single...
