Understanding pressure-driven structural changes in FePO4-II
The room temperature high pressure behaviour of FePO4-I has been investigated and a phase transition at around 2.5 GPa to the orthorhombic phase (FePO4-II) accompanied by a... -
Neutron scattering investigation of the influence of high hydrostatic pressur...
Amyloid fibrils are highly organized filamentous structures formed by the self-assembly of polypeptides. This proposal is to study the effect of pressure on the structure of... -
The high temperature high pressure behaviour of ammonia hydrates
Ammonia hydrates are important constituents of the outer solar system. In recent x-ray studies we have found evidence for a solid solution between ice and ammonia at high... -
Phase evolution in the transition from epsilon to gamma glycine
Glycine, the simplest naturally-occurring amino acid, exhibits unusually extensive phase diversity. Three polymorphs are known under ambient conditions. Each shows different... -
The high-pressure structures of carbon dioxide hydrate
The gas hydrates offer potential as hydrogen and carbon dioxide storage materials for use either in transport applications or for carbon sequestration. We have discovered a... -
Structure of a 2D antiferromagnet under pressure
Magnetic superexchange is strongly dependant on the degree of orbital overlap and hence the interatomic distances and angles within a structure. One way of tuning magnetic... -
Investigation of caprolactam-d11 at high pressure
High pressure has shown to be a powerful tool for the exploration of the organic solid state. In particular one is able to perform polymerisation reactions on solid materials by...
