The ambition of this project is to assist in the pursuance of understanding the metal to insulator transition found in magnetite at ~120 K. The transition is itself very complex and links together the charge order, orbital order and lattice distortion of magnetite with its magnetic properties. To be able to research these relationships on a more advanced level, synchrotron methods are necessary. F

The Antequera Basin of 150 km2 is a sub-basin to Lake Poopó, located at an altitude of 3800 meters above sea level on the Bolivian high plateau. Lake Poopó is a terminal lake with high salinity and heavy pollution from centuries of extensive mining activity. The climate is semiarid-cold with an average precipitation of 450 mm/year and potential evaporation of 1700 mm/year. Almost all rain falls du
