Exploring new chloride materials: synthesis, transport,
and mechanical properties
Chlorides, such as NaCl, had been considered simple ionic compounds. However, in recent years, chlorides with diverse structures have been actively studied as functional materials such as semiconductors and ionic conductors. In this presentation, I exhibit our recent progress on the synthesis and properties of chlorides. These include the efficient exploration of new chlorides using large-scale DFT calculations and synchrotron X-ray diffraction [1] and the effect of hand mixing on the synthesis of chloride solid electrolytes. Martensitic phase transformation of monoclinic Na3YCl6 with its low Young’s modulus in contrast to high bulk modulus is highlighted [2].

About Speaker
Dr. Akira Miura received a Ph.D. in Engineering from Hokkaido University in 2007 and carried out postdoctoral research in the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry at Cornell University and at the Institut für Anorganische Chemie at RTWH Aachen University in 2008–2010. After being appointed assistant professor at the Center for Crystal Science and Technology at Yamanashi University in 2010, he subsequently moved to the Faculty of Engineering at Hokkaido University in 2014. Dr. Miura’s research interests include the synthesis and characterization of oxides, hydroxides, oxynitrides, nitrides, sulfides and oxychalcogenides for use in novel semiconductors, catalysts, superconductors, and all-solid-state batteries.
