  Applications: Structure and Dynamics&quot\; - Dr Ivana Evans (Durham Univ

DESCRIPTION:An in-depth understanding of the structure – property relati
 onships is essential for the successful discovery and preparation of new f
 unctional materials capable of overcoming the limitations of the currently
  used ones. As materials’ complexity increases\, structural characterisa
 tion using a range of scattering-based and complementary techniques and st
 ate-of-the-art data analysis approaches\, aided by computational simulatio
 ns\, is essential in providing this insight.\nThis presentation will give 
 an overview of our recent work on oxide ion conductors: the elucidation of
  key design principles\, defects and mechanisms giving rise to ionic mobil
 ity\; the development and use of advanced structural data analysis methodo
 logies capable of tackling exceptionally complex crystallographic problems
  arising from phase transitions\; the complementary use of long-range and 
 local structural probes in understanding the structure\, properties\, diso
 rder and dynamics.
