Summary on Grant Application Form |

Iron antimonite is an interesting material which has attracted extensive attention as a hydrocarbon catalyst a more recently as a potential battery electrode. We are interested in the potential magnetic properties of this material. Previous literature has suggested that the iron and antimony cations are disorder on the rutile structure with no long range magnetic ordering. Our experimental results are inconsistent with these observations and we believe that it is important to revisit this material. Our group has extensive experience probing these types of problems using powder neutron diffraction. We plan to carry out a complete powder neutron diffraction study of this material on the Echidna beamline at the ANSTO facility in Australia. In particular we plan to investigate the temperature and magnetic field dependence of the crystal structure and magnetic behaviour. We believe this will enable us to answer the key question of order vs. disorder in this material. This is important if we are to truly understand how this material behaves in other aspects such as in catalysis. We believe this work will enable a greater understanding of this material as well as other related materials.
