In situ diffraction studies of the archetypal network glass, SiO2 at high pre...
Silica glass is one of the most widely studies amorphous materials. It is the archetypal glass former, comprising a network of corner-shared SiO4 tetrahedra. Recently a lot of... -
Structure of hot dense liquid carbon dioxide
We propose to study the structure of liquid CO2 by neutron diffraction under high pressure and high temperatures to 6 GPa / 800 K. Carbon dioxide belongs to the most fundamental... -
Polyamorphism in Glassy GeO2
The object of this proposal is to determine, by using neutron diffraction, the nature of the polyamorphic phase transition that occurs in glassy GeO2 with increasing pressure.... -
Pressure-induced changes in intermediate range order in the candidate polyamo...
This proposal is a continued exploration of the non-recoverable changes that have been reported in the structure of vitreous SiO2 when compressed. This proposed experiment will... -
Mechanism of network collapse in strong network glass forming systems
The object of this proposal is to investigate the mechanism of network collapse in the ¿strong¿ network glass forming system GeO2 in the pressure range between 9 and 16 GPa...
