A study of KNbO3in the pressure range to 12 GPa using synchrotron radiation
1997
Abstract Orthorhombic KNbO3 has been studied by x-ray diffraction as a function of pressure. The lattice cell parameters, volume and stability range of this phase have been determined as a function of the applied pressure. No structural transformation has been observed up to 12 GPa. The resulting P-V data are fitted to a Murnaghan equation state of first-order.
Structure and superconducting properties of YBa2(Cu1−x Fex)3O7
1988
Fe-substituted Y-Ba-Cu superconducting oxide compounds were investigated by dc-magnetic susceptibility measurements, powder X-ray diffraction and Mdssbauer spectroscopy. Fe substitution caused a structural transformation from orthorhombic to tetragonal. Up to 4 at% Fe Tc was almost unaffected. It was found that superconductivity in Cu oxides does not depend on orthorhombic crystal symmetry.
Structure evolution and reaction mechanism in the Ni/Al reactive multilayer nanofoils
2014
Abstract The extremely rapid gasless reactions in binary Ni/Al reactive multilayer nanofoils (RMNFs) are investigated both experimentally and theoretically. The quenching technique is used to study the dynamics of structural transformation on the micro- and nanoscales. The experimentally obtained patterns of structural evolution related to the heterogeneous reactions are compared with the results of molecular dynamics simulations carried out for the same reactive system. Based on the obtained data, the intrinsic mechanism of the reaction in Ni/Al RMNF is considered, which adequately explains the unusual parameters of a gasless combustion wave in such a system.
Solvent induced single-crystal to single-crystal structural transformation and concomitant transmetalation in a 3D cationic Zn(II)-framework.
2015
A 3D cationic Zn(II) framework, based on Zn2(CO2)4 paddle-wheel secondary building units (SBUs) and Zn16(CO2)32 polyhedral supramolecular building blocks (SBBs), has been synthesized. At room temperature, the framework undergoes guest solvent triggered reversible structural transformation and concomitant Zn(II) to Cu(II) transmetalation in a single-crystal to single-crystal fashion.

Advancing the treatment of human agency in the analysis of regional economic development: Illustrated with three Norwegian cases
2021
Human agency has become a core topic in economic geography complementing traditional, structural approaches to explain regional development. This paper contributes firstly with a discussion of the theoretical and conceptual relationships between the agency of individuals, organizations, and systems. Secondly, it proposes a novel analytical framework for studying how human agency, combined with external changes affects regional economic development, and how regional structural preconditions and external changes explain the activation of change agency. Thirdly, the relevance of the framework is examined through comparative studies of about 20 years of industrial development in three Norwegian…
