Structural simplicity as a restraint on the structure of amorphous silicon (2017)
Journal Article
Cliffe, M. J., Bartók, A. P., Kerber, R. N., Grey, C. P., Csányi, G., & Goodwin, A. L. (2017). Structural simplicity as a restraint on the structure of amorphous silicon. Physical Review B, 95(22), Article 224108. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevb.95.224108

Understanding the structural origins of the properties of amorphous materials remains one of the most important challenges in structural science. In this study we demonstrate that local 'structural simplicity', embodied by the degree to which atomic... Read More about Structural simplicity as a restraint on the structure of amorphous silicon.

Metal–organic nanosheets formed via defect-mediated transformation of a hafnium metal–organic framework (2017)
Journal Article
Cliffe, M. J., Castillo-Martínez, E., Wu, Y., Lee, J., Forse, A. C., Firth, F. C. N., …Grey, C. P. (2017). Metal–organic nanosheets formed via defect-mediated transformation of a hafnium metal–organic framework. Journal of the American Chemical Society, 139(15), 5397-5404. https://doi.org/10.1021/jacs.7b00106

We report a hafnium-containing MOF, hcp UiO-67(Hf), which is a ligand-deficient layered analogue of the face-centered cubic fcu UiO-67(Hf). hcp UiO-67 accommodates its lower ligand:metal ratio compared to fcu UiO-67 through a new structural mechanism...
