structural characterisation of new materials using state-of-the-art crystallographic methods Lightfoot , Dr Philip ( 2002 ) structural characterisation of new materials using state-of-the-art crystallographic methods . Full text available as : HTML ( archive ) Abstract We are interested in the design , synthesis and characterisation of advanced inorganic materials with novel physical and chemical properties , and the understanding of the interplay of structure , composition and properties . Particular emphasis is placed on the structural characterisation of new materials using state-of-the-art crystallographic methods such as X-ray and neutron diffraction , both in the UK and in Grenoble , France . The types of functional materials being studied is wide-ranging , and currently includes ferroelectrics , magnetic materials , negative thermal expansion materials and microporous materials .
