In the present study, structural changes due to gradual doping of Sr in BaTiO3 were investigated by both x-ray and neutron powder diffraction techniques. Ba1-xSrxTiO3 (x=0.0, 0.5 and 1.0) samples were synthesized by PVA evaporation method…
The crystal structure and oxygen stoichiometry in two-layer Na0.74CoO2 and Na0.38CoO2 at room temperature are analyzed by powder neutron diffraction. Two sets of diffraction data for each sample, taken at different incident neutron…
The structural, dielectric and ferroelectric properties of lead-free (Na0.5-xKxBi0.5-xLax)TiO3 powders synthesized by sol-gel self-combustion method were investigated. Rietveld refinement of Synchrotron x-ray diffraction data confirms pure…
The crystal structure of the candidate topological superconductor Cu$_x$Bi$_2$Se$_3$ was studied by single-crystal neutron diffraction using samples obtained by inserting the Cu dopant electrochemically. Neither structural refinements nor…
Sodium bismuth titanate (NBT) is a promising oxide-ion conductor,but its electrical conductivity is highly sensitive to small changes in A-site stoichiometry and processing history.This sensitivity can reduce sample-to-sample…
We have carried out systematic temperature-dependent neutron diffraction measurements in conjunction with dielectric spectroscopy from 6 to 300 K for sodium niobate based compounds (1-x) NaNbO3 -xBaTiO3 (NNBTx). The dielectric constant is…
The high pressure structural properties of bismuth oxide Bi2SiO5 have been investigated up to 28 GPa using in situ powder synchrotron X-ray diffraction and up to 50 GPa with DFT calculations. The monoclinic structure is found to persist up…
Local structural distortions in Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3-based solid solutions have been proved to play a crucial role in understanding and tuning their enhanced piezoelectric properties near the morphotropic phase boundary. In this work all local…
Samarium doped BiFeO3 compounds having nano-size crystallites were prepared by the ethylene glycol assisted sol-gel synthesis method. X-ray diffraction and SEM measurements as well as Raman spectroscopy and FTIR experiments were used to…
A neutron scattering study of nonsuperconducting La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CaCu$_2$O$_6$ (x=0 and 0.2), a bilayer copper oxide without CuO chains, has revealed an unexpected tetragonal-to-orthorhombic transition with a doping dependent transition…
We present a study of the structural properties of (x)Na$_2$S-(1-x)GeS$_2$ glasses through DFT-based molecular dynamics simulations, at different sodium concentrations ($0<x<0.5$). We computed the radial pair correlation functions as well…
We report neutron powder diffraction measurements on a series of NaxCoO2 samples with x near 0.75 which were prepared under different synthesis conditions. Two different crystal structures for the samples are observed at room temperature.…
We use single-crystal neutron diffraction to determine the crystal structure symmetry and the magnetic evolution in the rhodium doped iridates $\rm Sr_2Ir_{1-x}Rh_{x}O_4$ ($0\leq x \leq 0.16$). Throughout this doping range, the crystal…
