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... -
Exploring colloidal assembly in periodic nano-confinements using neutron spin...
Colloids in confinements have structural and dynamic properties in some cases very different from bulk properties. In particular, when the width of the confinement is few times... -
Density-driven structural transformations in calcium silicate glass
The density-driven structural transformations in the calcium silicate glass CaSiO3 will be investigated at pressures increasing to 17.5 GPa. This glass is one of a family of... -
Towards the Calibration of Chemical Pressure
The application of hydrostatic pressure allows the precise tuning of atomic separations, which control electronic structure and virtually all the interatomic interactions that... -

Investigation into the “1/8 anomaly” in superconducting cuprates: La2-xBaxCuO...
The superconducting material La2-xBaxCuO4 (LBCO) exhibits an anomalous dip in Tc at the x = 0.125 composition at low temperature (>30 K). This is at odds with other... -
Neutron diffraction at high pressure on alkali diborate glass
Borate glasses are archetypal amorphous oxide characterized by important medium range organisation. These glasses exhibit pressure-induced boron coordination change. The...
