Chemistry and crystallography

Oral

The vast majority of solid state oxides contain transition metals in an octahedral, or a distorted variant thereof, environment and the interconnectivity and distortions of the MO6 units drive their interesting and occasionally technologically important physical properties. Oxides where the transition metal has a tetrahedral geometry are less well studied. The Scheelite structure is one such...

70. Chemical Crystallography with neutrons at OPAL - KOALA fulfils a promise

Chemistry and crystallography

Oral

A strong case for the inclusion of a single-crystal diffractometer was made in the scoping of the initial suite of instruments to be built at the OPAL Reactor facility. The choice of a Laue instrument appeared to offer significant opportunities for a broad community of potential users. In particular the potential to undertake single-crystal chemical crystallography experiments on crystals of...
