Cation Ordering in Quaternary Sulphides and Selenides
We wish to investigate quaternary chalcogenides, A2ZnBQ4 (where A = Cu, Ag; B = Ge, Sn; Q = S, Se). Calculations indicate stannite (S) or kesterite (K) superstructures of both... -
Development of a Novel Low - Intermediate Temperature Solid Proton Conductor
The compound, Si5O(PO4)6, is a component of a solid phosphoric acid catalyst, it has highly unusual coordination of the silicon (octahedral, as well as the more common... -
Anion disorder in Ti pyrochlores as a precursor in the transition to fluorite
The aim of this work is to understand the nature of anion disordering in pyrochlore oxides and to establish what, if any, correlations exist between the anion position, disorder... -
Texture characterisation in hot deformed two-phase titanium
This proposal is aimed at investigating the crystallographic texture evolution that occurs during hot forging of two-phase alpha/beta titanium alloy Ti-64, widely used in...
