A pair distribution function study to determine the local structure of the ti...
BaTiO3 is the prototypical ferroelectic perovskite and has been well studied for over 60 years. The standard structural picture is that it is cubic and paraelectric at high... -
Dipolar frustration on the triangular lattice: Order and disorder in AgNCO
We propose to use neutron total scattering to characterise isocyanate (NCO-) orientations within the orientationally-disordered phase of AgNCO. The arrangement of NCO- ions in... -
Temperature-Dependent Structural Changes in Liquid Benzene
The non-covalent interactions between aromatic rings are of fundamental importance in large number biological and chemical processes. The local structure of aromatic liquids is... -
Characterization of the fast lithium ion conducting phases Li(BH4)1-xBrx
Two days of beamtime on GEM will be used to analyse the structure of the fast lithium-ion conductive phases formed by anion doping the hydrogen storage material LiBH4 with... -
Investigating the Mechanism of Cooperative Melting in Metal-Organic Frameworks
Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are formed from inorganic nodes connected by organic ligands, and share structural features with zeolites. They have recently been... -
Structural Phase Transition with a Large Volume Change in (Bi,Nd)FeO3
BiFeO3 attracts considerable attention because of its multiferroic and ferroelectric properties. Nd-substitutions in antiferromagnetic BiFeO3 induce a significant ferromagnetic... -
Local structure of the semiconductor caesium lead iodide
Caesium lead iodide is of interest both as a photoluminescent material whose optical properties may be tuned by creating nanoscale structures, and as an inorganic analogue of... -
Pressure induced magnetic phases in non-collinear antiferromagnet Mn3Ge singl...
The interest in the noncollinear antiferromagnet Mn3Ge was stirred by the recent observation ofan anomalous Hall effect (AHE) driven by nonvanishing Berry curvature, which... -
