Synthesis and Characterization of the Crystal and Magnetic Structure and Properties of the Hydroxyfluorides Fe(OH)F and Co(OH)F
Published 2014The title compounds were synthesized by a hydrothermal route from a 1:1 molar ratio of lithium fluoride and transition metal acetate in an excess of water. The crystal structures were determined using a combination of ...Open AccessArticle -
Tuning the Giant Magnetoelastic Transition in Ba3BiIr2O9 and Ba3BiRu2O9
Published 2014We have experimentally investigated the effects of pressure on the magnetoelastic transitions associated with the opening of spin-gaps in Ba3BiIr2O9 and Ba3BiRu2O9. For both compounds, reducing the unit cell volume by ...Open AccessArticle -
Magnetic structure and properties of the Na2CoP2O7 pyrophosphate cathode for sodium-ion batteries: a super-superexchange driven non-collinear antiferromagnet
Published 2013The crystal and magnetic structure and properties of the Na2CoP2O7 sodium-ion battery cathode material have been characterized by magnetic susceptibility, specific heat, and variable temperature neutron powder diffraction ...Open AccessArticle -
Alkali metal modified P2 NaxMnO2: Crystal structure and application in sodium-ion batteries
Published 2020Sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) are an emerging alternative to lithium-ion batteries because of abundant sodium re-sources and the potentially lower cost. Here we report the Na0.7MnO2 solid-state synthesized at 1000 oC which ...Open AccessArticle -
Na2FeP2O7: A Safe Cathode for Rechargeable Sodium-ion Batteries
Published 2013Vying for newer sodium-ion chemistry for rechargeable batteries, Na2FeP2O7 pyrophosphate has been recently unveiled as a 3 V high-rate cathode. In addition to its low cost and promising electrochemical performance, here ...Open AccessArticle
