Structural Distortions in the Spin Ladder Compounds Ba2CuTe1-xWxO6
Ba2CuTeO6 has garnered considerable interest as the combination of stacking sequence and Cu2+ displacements lead to a magnetic geometry that reproduce the effects of a spin... -
Modulation in Molecular Materials - Variable Temperature
Modulation occurs when there is ordering on two (or more) length scales. When the ratio of these is an integer, the modulation is said to be commensurate, i.e. one ordering is... -

Cation-Exchanged Dion-Jacobson and Ruddlesden-Popper Phases
Multiferroic materials - those which exhibit spontaneous and switchable electrical and magnetic polarizations - have a wide range of applications. However preparing new... -
In situ hydration study of the novel ionic conductor Ba7MoNb4O20
Oxide-ion and proton-conducting materials attract considerable interest thanks to their application as electrolytes in solid-oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). We have recently... -
Jahn-Teller distortions in uranium compounds: Powder Neutron Diffraction
The magnetic behaviour of actinide complexes are of interest as these show unusual physics that relate to single molecule magnet behaviour. We have studied the magnetic... -
Quantifying the volume isotope effect in high-pressure forms of ice
Water ice forms a remarkable diversity of structures, occurring in as many as 17 crystalline forms. Water ice also shows other interesting and unusual properties. For example,... -

True symmetry of correlated Dirac and Weyl semimetal candidates CeSbSe and Ce...
We have recently performed a magnetic neutron scattering study at WISH to understand the unusual metamagnetic behaviour of the Dirac semimetal candidate CeSbSe. Unexpectedly,... -
Spin-Lattice Coupling in a Frustrated Antiferromagnet
Frustrated magnetic materials are interesting because they show unusual behaviour arising from a near-degeneracy of ground states. The magnetic order of MgCr2O4 - apparently... -
Structure and thermal expansion of a new polymorph of pentahydrite (MgSO4·5H2O)
In our high-pressure studies of candidate outer solar system minerals using PEARL, we have found that MgSO4.7H2O (epsomite) decomposes to a lower hydrate mixed with water ice.... -
In-situ study of magnetic structure for Ho2(Fe,M)17 (M =Si, Ni and Al) alloys
Metallic materials that exhibit negligible thermal expansion or zero thermal expansion (ZTE) have great merit in practical applications. However these materials are very rare... -
Linking the solid state and solution thorium aqua structures: A solid state p...
A understanding of the aqueous chemistry of the actinide ions is not as well developed as for transition metals or the lanthanides. Fundamentally important information such as... -
Structures of metastable water ice XVII with different guests molecules
Very recently, we have studied the crystalline structure of the C0-phase H2-filled ice (recovered at room pressure and low temperature) and ice XVII, a new form of ice... -

Crystallographic determination of the minting of coins in Tudor Britain : an ...
King Henry VIII's flagship, the Mary Rose, offers a unique insight into Tudor life. As well as her value as one of the first purpose built warships of the modern period,... -
Phase transitions in non-centrosymmetric Dion-Jacobson Phases
Ferroelectric materials - those which exhibit a spontaneous and switchable electrical polarization - have a wide range of applications. However materials which exhibit... -

Understanding Chemical Expansion in Perovskite Oxides: Impact of Long-Range D...
"Chemical expansion" occurs when some ceramics expand upon releasing oxygen. Their ability to effectively "breathe" oxygen makes them of use in sustainable energy...
