Total scattering from multiferroic bismuth ferrite at high temperatures
Bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) is the archetypal multiferroic material and as such has been copiously studied using a wide variety of techniques. Despite this, new structural and... -
In-situ reaction of lithium amide or imide with manganese(IV) oxide
We request 3 days beam time on POLARIS for in-situ powder diffraction studies of the reactions of lithium amide or lithium imide with manganese(IV) oxide under flowing argon or... -
Hydrogen from ammonia using lithium imide metal nitride composites
Light metal amides and imides are a new class of highly active ammonia decomposition catalysts. Indeed, composites of lithium imide and transition metal nitrides are likely to... -
Building a comprehensive understanding of cation ordering in the commercial c...
The objective of the proposed experiment is to develop an understanding of the Li/Ni/Mn ordering in a commercially relevant lithium ion battery positive electrode,... -
Proton diffusion in zirconate perovskites investigated by QENS
The growth in both global demand for energy and fossil-fuel related environmental issues drive research on alternative fuel sources. Solid oxide fuel cells, which can operate on... -
Understanding the decomposition of ammonia by lithium-calcium imide
Among light metal amide-imide catalysts for ammonia decomposition, lithium-calcium imide is the most promising candidate for practical application. Ex situ diffraction data... -
Structural phase diagram of rare earth substituted multiferroic BiFeO3 - revi...
BiFeO3 is the most widely studied multiferroic and rare earth doping overcomes problems associated with phase metastability and leakage which have hampered applications. We... -
In situ studies on hydride diffusion and exchange in alkaline earth hydrides ...
Thermogravimetric analysis on alkaline earth hydrides in St Andrews has revealed a remarkably fast exchange of deuterium and hydrogen by alkaline earth hydrides at relatively... -
Phase stability and thermal conductivity in perovskite zirconates
Perovskite zirconates have been suggested as potential next generation thermal barrier materials. SrZrO3 is particularly promising as it has an extremely low thermal...
