Factors influencing the success of hand-reared juvenile brushtail possums (Trichosurus vulpecula) released into the wild
Published 2022Context: Wildlife is ubiquitous in urban environments, resulting in frequent interactions with humans and human infrastructure. The result of these interactions is often negative, in the form of road injury, orphaning of ...Open AccessArticle -
Crystal structure and monoclinic distortion of glaserite-type Ba3MnSi2O8
Published 2018Crystal structure and magnetic properties of glaserite-type Ba3MnSi2O8 were investigated using variable temperature neutron powder diffraction and magnetometry. At room temperature the composition is hexagonal and the ...Open AccessArticle -
A New n = 4 Layered Ruddlesden–Popper Phase K2.5Bi2.5Ti4O13 Showing Stoichiometric Hydration
Published 2016A new highly ordered Bi-containing layered perovskite of the Ruddlesden-Popper phase, K2.5Bi2.5Ti4O13, has been prepared by solid state synthesis. It has been shown to hydrate to form stoichiometric K2.5Bi2.5Ti4O13 · H2O. ...Open AccessArticle -
YCa3(CrO)3(BO3)4: a Cr3+ kagomé lattice compound showing no magnetic order down to 2 K
Published 2016We report a new gaudefroyite-type compound YCa3(CrO)3(BO3)4, in which Cr3+ ions (3d3, S = 3/2) form an undistorted kagomé lattice. Using a flux agent, the synthesis was significantly accelerated with the typical calcining ...Open AccessArticle -
Direct observation of pressure-driven valence electron transfer in Ba3BiRu2O9, Ba3BiIr2O9 and Ba4BiIr3O12
Published 2016The hexagonal perovskites Ba3BiIr2O9, Ba3BiRu2O9 and Ba4BiIr3O12 all undergo pressure-induced 1% volume collapses above 5 GPa. These first-order transitions have been ascribed to internal transfer of valence electrons ...Open AccessArticle
