Emergence of long-range order in BaTiO3 from local symmetry-breaking distortions
M. S. Senn, D. A. Keen, T. C. A. Lucas +2
By using a symmetry motivated basis to evaluate local distortions against pair distribution function data (PDF), we show without prior bias, that the off-centre Ti displacements in…
Connecting Defects and Amorphization in UiO-66 and MIL-140 Metal-organic Frameworks: A Combined Experimental and Computational Study
Thomas D. Bennett, Tanya K. Todorova, Emma F. Baxter +7
The mechanism and products of the structural collapse of the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) UiO-66, MIL-140B and MIL-140C upon ball-milling are investigated through solid state 13…
A ferroelectric-like structural transition in a metal
Youguo Shi, Yanfeng Guo, Xia Wang +13
Metals cannot exhibit ferroelectricity because static internal electric fields are screened by conduction electrons, but in 1965, Anderson and Blount predicted the possibility of a…
Design of crystal-like aperiodic solids with selective disorder--phonon coupling
Alistair R. Overy, Andrew B. Cairns, Matthew J. Cliffe +2
Functional materials design normally focuses on structurally-ordered systems because disorder is considered detrimental to many important physical properties. Here we challenge thi…
Competing Hydrostatic Compression Mechanisms in Nickel Cyanide
Jasper Adamson, Timothy C. Lucas, Andrew B. Cairns +5
We use variable-pressure neutron and X-ray diffraction measurements to determine the uniaxial and bulk compressibilities of nickel(II) cyanide, Ni(CN). Whereas other layered mo…
