Deep eutectic solvents (DES) formed from a mixture of hydrogen-bond donors and metal salts, is a novel variety of solvents that have been synthesized and studied extensively. In... -
Comparison of Dynamical Behaviour in MAPbX3 and FAPbX3: How Do They Differ ?
Organic-inorganic lead halide perovskite compounds are shown to be very promising candidates for low cost, solution-processable, highly efficient (>22%) solar cells with a... -
Investigation of modulated crystal and magnetic structure of Ni-Pt-Mn-Ga ferr...
Ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMAs) are of recent interest because they exhibit a shapememory effect that can be driven by magnetic fields. Thus, FSMAs are important for... -
Magnetic excitations in square lattice 2D Heisenberg Antiferromagnet Sr3Fe2O6.5
Strontium iron oxides belonging to the RP series Srn+1FenO3n+1 (n = 1, 2, ..,1) may offer unique insights into the differences between the magnetic properties of the... -
Exploring Structural and Spin Orders in the Quantum Spin Liquid Candidate Znx...
Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) are intriguing states of matter in which magnetic frustration and strong quantum fluctuations prevent classical long-range magnetic order. To date,... -
Long-range cationic ordering in metal-organic perovskite solid solutions
The structure of the metal guanadinium formates is analogous to perovskite; the Cu compound is of particular interest as a potential multiferroic. We have recently demonstrated... -
Investigations of amorphous pharmaceutical materials produced from different ...
Pharmaceuticals are usually formulated in the crystalline state for obvious reasons of stability. They may also exist in a disordered and less cohesive state i.e. amorphous... -
