Structural Changes through the Semiconductor to Metal Transition in Cu2ZnGeSe4
We wish to collect powder neutron diffraction data as a function of temperature to investigate structural changes through a phase transition in the parent thermoelectric phase... -
Q-dependence of the single particle motion in a molten alkali halide
An inelastic X-ray investigation on the collective inelastic dynamics of molten NaCl revealed the remarkable result that the acoustic-like dynamics is similar to the dispersion... -
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,... -
Apatite-type Oxides for Energy Applications: Role of Lattice Dynamics
Lanthanum-containing germanate apatites are materials with potential applications as electrolytes in solid oxide fuel cells. The conductivity of these materials is known to... -
Average structures of new functional oxides - HPRD
