Structural and Magnetic Properties of Bi1-xNdxFe1-yCoyO3 (BNFC) compositions
The Bi1-xNdxFe1-yCoyO3 (BNFC) compositions emerge as materials with very rich and not completely understood physical behavior. We have recently identified the existence of two... -
Tracing disorder in ZnGeN2
We propose to study the defect behaviour of ZnGeN2 as a representative material for the emerging class of Zn-IV-N2 solar absorber materials. As earth-abundant alternatives to... -

The Ruddlesden-Popper type Pr2-xNiO4±delta is one of the most potential membrane materials for the design of intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cell cathodes and oxygen... -
Crystal Structure and Defects in Li-doped Mg2Si-based Thermoelectrics
We propose to study the room temperature crystal structure of Li-doped Mg2Si-based solid solutions, which represent one of the most promising material classes for... -
Cation partitioning in pyrrhotite-type compounds Fe7-yMyX8 (X = S, Se)
High resolution neutron powder diffraction measurements at room temperature are planned to be performed in order to reveal the dependence of the cation partitioning between... -
Crystal structure and Cu-Zn disorder in (Ag1-xCux)2ZnSnSe4.
Ag2ZnSnSe4 and Cu2ZnSnSe4 are quaternary semiconductors belonging to the adamantine compound family, contain only abundant elements, which makes these materials promising... -
Determination of oxygen sites in the crystal lattice of A-site deficient Pr2N...
Pr2NiO4+d exhibits extremely high oxygen diffusivity. The crystal structure of Pr2NiO4+d consists of PrNiO3 perovskite and PrO rock salt units. The exceptional high oxygen...
