LOW DIMENSIONAL NETWORKS UNDER PRESSURE. IN-SITU DIFFRACTION MEASUREMENTS OF ...
Carbonate liquids are characterised by low temperature and low viscosity and play an important role in molten carbonate fuel cells, battery electrolytes and, surprisingly, in... -
Thermodynamic Control of Isotopic Polymorphism
Co-crystals of 4-methylpyridine and pentachlorophenol (MP-PCP) exhibit the very unusual property of isotopic polymorphism, formation of different phases by samples differing... -
The icy-moon analogue of MgSiO3-perovskite: MgSO4.9H2O a high-pressure study
Mg-sulfate 11-hydrate (meridianiite) is decomposed by pressure to form Mg-sulfate 9-hydrate + ice, a process that will occur in the mantles of large icy planetary bodies and... -
Local ordering in the pressure-induced order-disorder transition in ammonium ...
Ammonium bromide undergoes a pressure-induced order-disorder transition, where the disordered (plastic) phase is thought to consist of a random distribution of ammonium cations... -
Phase transitions in melamine at high pressure
Melamine is a common organic molecule based on a six-sided ring; this unit typically connects with itself or other organic species to form layered crystal structures, which then... -
Correlated local structure distortions in the family of high-temperature supe...
This proposal follows from a short previous test experiment (RB 920345) aimed at understanding the nature of local structure distortions in YBa2Cu3O6.9 and their possible role... -
Single-crystal neutron diffraction study of sucrose at high pressure.
In the context of expanding the sample environments available for experiments on the SXD instrument, the Paris-Edinburgh press recently developed on PEARL offers the possibility... -
Structural changes in pressure-amorphized THF-clathrates
Clathrate hydrates are crystalline compounds in which water forms a host with cages that enclose guest molecules. Clathrate hydrates occur widely in nature with guest such as... -
Phase diagram of a switchable dielectric framework near the critical point
The family of hybrid Prussian blue analogues includes many electroactive materials, where organic cations moving within the pores of the cyanide framework cause unusual and... -
Compressibility and Tilting of Polyhedra within Sr2NiMoO6 at High Pressure
Ordered double perovskites (also known as elpasolites) have the general formula A2BBO6 where A is generally a rare earth metal or alkaline earth metal and where B and B are...
