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…
Compositional dependence of anomalous thermal expansion in perovskite-like ABX3 formates
Ines E. Collings, Joshua A. Hill, Andrew B. Cairns +5
The compositional dependence of thermal expansion behaviour in 19 different perovskite-like metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) of composition [AI][MII(HCOO)3] (A = alkylammonium catio…
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…
Nature of Partial Magnetic Order in the Frustrated Antiferromagnet Gd2Ti2O7
Joseph A. M. Paddison, Andrew B. Cairns, Dmitry D. Khalyavin +8
The frustrated pyrochlore antiferromagnet GdTiO has an unusual partially-ordered magnetic structure at the lowest measurable temperatures. This structure is curre…
Defect-dependent colossal negative thermal expansion in UiO-66(Hf) metal-organic framework
Matthew J. Cliffe, Joshua A. Hill, Claire A. Murray +2
Thermally-densified hafnium terephthalate UiO-66(Hf) is shown to exhibit the strongest isotropic negative thermal expansion (NTE) effect yet reported for a metal-organic framework…
