From Fluorite to Pyrochlore: Characterisation of Local and Average Structure of Neodymium Zirconate, Nd2Zr2O7 (2013)
Journal Article
Payne, J., Tucker, M., & Evans, I. R. (2013). From Fluorite to Pyrochlore: Characterisation of Local and Average Structure of Neodymium Zirconate, Nd2Zr2O7. Journal of Solid State Chemistry, 205, 29-34. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jssc.2013.07.001

The structural characterisation of Nd2Zr2O7 prepared via a precursor route was performed using a combination of local and average structure probes (neutron total scattering, X-ray and neutron diffraction). We present the first total scattering and re... Read More about From Fluorite to Pyrochlore: Characterisation of Local and Average Structure of Neodymium Zirconate, Nd2Zr2O7.

Systematic and Controllable Negative, Zero, and Positive Thermal Expansion in Cubic Zr1–xSnxMo2O8 (2013)
Journal Article
Tallentire, S., Child, F., Fall, I., Vella-Zarb, L., Evans, I., Tucker, M., …Evans, J. (2013). Systematic and Controllable Negative, Zero, and Positive Thermal Expansion in Cubic Zr1–xSnxMo2O8. Journal of the American Chemical Society, 135(34), 12849-12856. https://doi.org/10.1021/ja4060564

We describe the synthesis and characterization of a family of materials, Zr1–xSnxMo2O8 (0 < x < 1), whose isotropic thermal expansion coefficient can be systematically varied from negative to zero to positive values. These materials allow tunable exp... Read More about Systematic and Controllable Negative, Zero, and Positive Thermal Expansion in Cubic Zr1–xSnxMo2O8.

The Mechanism of Oxide Ion Conductivity in Bismuth Rhenium Oxide, Bi28Re2O49 (2013)
Journal Article
Payne, J., Farrell, J., Linsell, A., Johnson, M., & Evans, I. R. (2013). The Mechanism of Oxide Ion Conductivity in Bismuth Rhenium Oxide, Bi28Re2O49. Solid State Ionics, 244, 35-39. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ssi.2013.05.004

We have carried out a combined experimental and computational study of oxide ion conductor Bi28Re2O49, with the aim of elucidating the conductivity mechanisms and pathways in this material. Single crystals of Bi28Re2O49 were grown from melt and the s... Read More about The Mechanism of Oxide Ion Conductivity in Bismuth Rhenium Oxide, Bi28Re2O49.

Structure and dynamics studies of the short strong hydrogen bond in the 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid-nicotinic acid molecular complex (2013)
Journal Article
Ford, S. J., McIntyre, G. J., Johnson, M. R., & Evans, I. R. (2013). Structure and dynamics studies of the short strong hydrogen bond in the 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid-nicotinic acid molecular complex. CrystEngComm, 15(37), 7576-7582. https://doi.org/10.1039/c3ce40874d

The molecular complex between 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid and nicotinic acid (35DBNA) has been studied by variable temperature single crystal X-ray and neutron diffraction (30 to 300 K) and ab initio molecular dynamics, in order to investigate the dynami...
