[Press Release (Tokyo Tech)] Discovery of Hidden Order in a Disordered Crystal Structure of an Oxide Ion Conductor!
A research team comprising Tokyo Institute of Technology, NIMS, Yamagata University, JASRI, and KEK has discovered hidden chemical ordering between Mo and Nb atoms in the ion conductor Ba₇Nb₄MoO₂₀ by combining advanced techniques such as resonant X-ray diffraction and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance.
This study provides valuable insights into how the hidden chemical order significantly influences material properties such as ion conductivity.
