New mechanochemical preparations of three multicomponent crystals (MCCs) of the form MCl:urea.nH2O (M = Li+, Na+, and Cs+) are reported. Their structures were determined by an NMR crystallography approach, combining Rietveld refinement of…

Layered double-hydroxides (LDHs) are superior to the conventional (Transition Metal Oxides) TMOs as their lamellar morphology accommodates higher active sites contributing to the facile electron transfer towards the material degradation…

It was shown that anomalous resistivity behavior of the $Cu-Mn-Al$ ribbons is explained by the s-d interaction between conduction electrons and the clustered Mn atoms. While nuclear magnetic resonance measurements show the antiferromagnetic…

Stabilizing nitrogen-rich compound crystals under conventional conditions is a key issue in the development and application of high-energy density materials (HEDMs). Herein, a two-dimensional double-layer interlocked Li4(N5)2 nitrogen-rich…

We report two detections of deuterated molecular hydrogen (HD) in QSO absorption-line systems at $z > 2$. Toward J2123-0500, we find $N$(HD) $= 13.84 \pm 0.2$ for a sub-DLA with metallicity $\simeq 0.5Z_{\odot}$ and $N$(H$_2$) = $17.64 \pm…

Layered Li(Ni,Mn,Co,)O$_2$ (NMC) presents an intriguing ternary alloy design space for optimization as a cathode material in Li-ion batteries. Recently, the high cost and resource limitations of Co have added a new design constraint and…

Alkoxide-intercalated NiFe-layered double hydroxides were synthesized via the nonaqueous methanolic route. These nanoplatelets exhibit high crystalline quality as demonstrated by atomic resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy…

Nickel-based layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are promising electrode materials in the fields of energy storage (supercapacitors) and conversion (urea oxidation). The rational construction of atomic and electronic structure is crucial for…

Recent measurements of nitrogen and alpha elements in over 20 damped Ly-alpha systems (DLA) are compared with similar measurements for numerous emission line objects and stars. It is found that the DLA distribution in the N/alpha-alpha/H…

Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) enhanced nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) offers a promising route to studying local atomic environments at the surface of both crystalline and amorphous materials. We take advantage of unpaired electrons…

The crystal structures of the triangular lattice, layered anhydrous alums KCr(SO4)2, RbCr(SO4)2 and KAl(SO4)2 are characterized by X-ray and neutron powder diffraction at temperatures between 1.4 and 773 K. The compounds all crystallize in…

Averaged local bond order parameters based on spherical harmonics, also known as Lechner and Dellago order parameters, are routinely used to determine crystal structures in molecular simulations. Among different options, the combination of…

We study the H2 molecular content in high redshift damped Lyman-alpha systems (DLAs) as a function of the HI column density. We find a significant increase of the H2 molecular content around log N(HI) (cm^-2)~21.5-22, a regime unprobed…

Kinetics parameters for three anion exchange reactions - Zn-LDH-NO3 - Zn-LDH-Cl, Zn-LDH-NO3 - Zn-LDH-SO4 and Zn-LDH-NO3 - Zn-LDH-VOx - were obtained by in situ synchrotron study. The first and the second ones are two-stage reactions; the…

The mixing of organic cations represents yet another direction to explore in the field of chiral organic-inorganic hybrid metal halides (OIHMH). Here, we perform structural optimizations, electronic structures, and non-linear optical (NLO)…

We report a coherent layer-by-layer high-order harmonic generation (HHG) build-up in artificially stacked transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC) crystals in their various stacking configurations. In the experiments, millimeter-sized single…

The phase stabilities and ordering tendencies in the quaternary full-Heusler alloys NiCoMnAl and NiCoMnGa have been investigated by in-situ neutron diffraction, calorimetry and magnetization measurements. NiCoMnGa was found to adopt the…

Successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method is based on the adsorption and reaction of the ions in the cationic solution and the ionic solution, respectively. This method is simple, inexpensive, large-scale deposition,…

Order versus disorder in the structure of materials plays a key role in the theoretical prediction of their properties. However, this structural description appears to be ineffective for new families of materials such as high entropy alloys…

We use dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) enhanced nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) at liquid helium temperatures to directly detect hydrogen attached to the surface of silicon microparticles. The proton NMR spectrum from a dry sample of…
