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... -
Bismuth Germanate Glass Structure
Bismuth germanate glasses are technologically important for a number of reasons, including fibre-optical and laser applications, non-linear optical glasses, IR transmitting... -
Homogeneous nucleation in phosphate-based glassy precursors to fast-ion condu...
The structure of the phosphate materials Na_{1+x}Ge_{2-x}Al_x(PO_4)_3 with x = 0, 0.4 and 0.8 will be investigated using high real-space resolution neutron diffraction. In the... -
Lensing the triple-point of ferroelectric Ba(Ti0.8Zr0.2)O3−(Ba0.7Ca0.3)...
We propose to study the phase diagram of a lead-free piezoelectric material consisting of a tricritical triple point where anomalous enhancement of the physical properties have... -
Null Isotope Study of Lithium Borogermanate Glasses
Alkali borogermanate glasses are topologically complex, in that [BOn] (n = 3, 4)and [GeOn] (n = 4, 5, 6) polyhedra may all coexist. Equilibrium between these structural units...
