The isostructural family of compounds that includes the familiar copper sulfate pentahydrate and the two less familiar title materials, has for decades been a model for studying...

We seek high-resolution powder neutron diffraction data at room and low temperature to help in the identification of the structure of new Pb-free piezoelectric materials we have...

The capability of systematically tuning electronic properties of strongly correlated electron systems is key to unraveling the mechanisms underlying the observed physics....

La2Ti2O7 is part of an intriguing family of layered perovskite-related materials which display an unusual type of ferroelectricity. In contrast to standard ABO3 perovskites (in...

LiFePO4 (LFP) is a commercially used Li ion battery material for high power applications. Particle shape and surface play an important role in the Li diffusion and thus the...

Interactions between CO2 and clay minerals have attracted interest in the scientific community recently. This is partly motivated by the presence of large amounts of clays in...

Materials with large caloric effects offer the opportunity to replace current refrigeration technologies that require the compression of hazardous gases. Whilst magnetocaloric...

A number of compounds crystallise in the NH3-H2O-CO2 ternary system, including ammonium carbonates and carbamates, these being closely related to the water-deficient compound...

URu2Si2 has been examined intensively over the decades for the rich phase diagram including superconductivity, Hidden Order and multiple magnetic phases appearing around the...

To determine the temperature dependence of the structures of new mixed and ionic conducting materials in the n = 2 ruddlesden-popper,mellilite and pyrochlore systems.

Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) are exotic states of matter in which magnetic frustration and strong quantum fluctuations destroy long-range magnetic order. Here, we propose to...

Recent theoretical work has identified that oxygen octahedral rotations (OORs) in layered perovskites such as Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) phases can generate noncentrosymmetry...

Honeycomb ruthenates (Ru4+, 4d4) are the potential playground for exotic magnetism associated with strong spin-orbit coupling. However, the real honeycomb ruthenate Li2RuO3...

A better understanding of the magnetic excitation spectrum of LuFe2O4 is required to refine current models of the magnetoelectric coupling in this novel "electronic"...

Electrode materials for devices such as solid oxide fuel cells must be catalytically active and good ionic and electronic conductors. In particular, recent work in our...

This proposal aims to characterise the spin dynamics of three Pr-based pyrochlores that may be realisations of quantum spin ice materials. The lower moment and larger wave...

Apatites are a large group of chemically and structurally flexible functional materials with important applications as solid electrolytes. The majority of known apatite...

Recently we have suggested that negative thermal expansion materials will also show an effect called pressure-induced softening, where shown that the elastic stiffness is...

Very rapid quenching of liquids to form a glass, from which crystalline phases are subsequently obtained by devitrification, is a powerful technique for obtaining novel...

The concept of an aristotype, or equivalently, the basic structure, that represents the highest symmetry crystal structure that can be attained, either experimentally, or...
