Comparison of H and D diffusion rates in micron-scale palladium
There is currently considerable interest in the use of micron scale palladium powder for the separation of hydrogen isotopes ¿ e.g. tritium extraction in connection with fuel... -
Study of pore-confined CO2 depletion below the bulk triple point
Freezing of fluids confined at the nanoscale is of great importance for the understanding of their behaviour due to the confinement effects arising from the finite pore size and... -
Study of structural and phase transitions of carbon dioxide confined in the n...
The properties of fluids confined in nanopores differ from the bulk mainly due to the solid-fluid interactions and the finite pore size. Such phenomena are of fundamental... -
Structural Properties of Hydrogenated Ca-Intercalated Graphite Compounds
The recent discovery of superconductivity in Ca-intercalated graphite (C6Ca) has refocused considerable interest onto graphite intercalated compounds (GICs). We would like to... -
Phase transitions in Sr-doped multiferroic bismuth ferrite
Bismuth ferrite, BiFeO3, is a much-studied ceramic showing both dielectric and magnetic ordering at relatively high temperatures. In order to improve its properties there has... -
Nuclear and magnetic structures at the morphotropic phase boundary in the mag...
We are investigating the design and synthesis of new Pb-free ferroelectrics that also offer long-range magnetic ordering at high temperatures by appropriate compositional...
