Research

 

Overview

Our research aims to combine high-resolution multinuclear Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy with first-principles calculations to investigate structure, disorder and dynamics in the solid state. Research involves the development of new experiments, implementation and improvement of existing experiments and the application to systems of interest in chemistry, geology and materials science. Current areas of interest include high-pressure minerals, microporous framework materials and ceramics proposed for the encapsulation of nuclear waste.

Particular emphasis is given to nuclei which possess a nuclear electric quadrupole moment, such as 17O, 23Na and 27Al, which account for over three-quarters of all NMR-accessible nuclides.
