Deformation and Degradation Behavior of Lamellar TiAl Alloys during Creep Tests
The recently developed TiAl intermetallics-based alloys are promising candidate materials for high temperature applications in gas turbines. However, the mechanism of the creep... -
Unravelling the temperature-pressure phase diagram for the multiferroic, BiFeO3
Bismuth ferrite is arguably the most widely studied multiferroic material due to room temperature magnetic and ferroelectric ordering. However, despite extensive research the... -
In-situ studies of thermal electrochemical cells utilising transition metal s...
Thermal batteries are used in applications were high reliability is a key requirement. They can be stored for decades and activated in less than a second. Most contemporary... -
Framework flexibility and host-guest hydrogen bonding in the metal-organic do...
The recently reported double perovskite analogue imidazolium potassium iron(III) cyanide is noteworthy for two reasons. First, the order-disorder phase transitions, in which the... -
In-Situ Studies of Electrochemically Enhanced Performance in Perovskite Elect...
Recent studies in our laboratory have shown that a range of A-site deficient perovskite oxides, with carefully tuned chemical compositions, exhibit excellent properties when... -
Probing the Earliest Stages of Zeolite Crystallisation
Our aim is to provide new data concerning the evolution of amorphous gel phases into crystalline inorganic materials to allow information about crystallisation mechanism of... -
Polyamorphism in Glassy GeO2
The object of this proposal is to determine, by using neutron diffraction, the nature of the polyamorphic phase transition that occurs in glassy GeO2 with increasing pressure.... -
Magnetoelectric coupling in the polycrystalline ceramic BiFeO3 - PbTiO3
There are a number of room temperature multiferroics based on BiFeO3. The BiFeO3 - PbTiO3 (BFPT) system shows ferroelectric and antiferromagnetic ordering at room temperature... -
Thermodynamic Control of Isotopic Polymorphism
Co-crystals of 4-methylpyridine and pentachlorophenol (MP-PCP) exhibit the very unusual property of isotopic polymorphism, formation of different phases by samples differing... -
Magnetic fluctuations in an FeSe superconductor (Tc = 40K) intercalated with ...
Superconductors have many practical applications, especially in technologies that require high magnetic fields, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Efforts to find new and... -
Kinetics of Protein Adsorption on well-characterised polymer brushes
We wish to develop a rational understanding of the mechanisms underlying the way water soluble polymer brushes - in particular those of polyethylene oxide/polyethylene glycol -... -
Understanding oxygen-muonium interaction in liquid water
Dissolved molecular oxygen in solution depolarizes muonium because ground-state molecular oxygen has triplet electrons and is paramagnetic. People normally remove them from... -
Structural Studies of Umbite-related Ion Exchange Materials
The aim of this research is to determine structural systematics of a series of materials with compositions and structures related to the mineral umbite (K2ZrSi3O9·H2O) and some... -

Low Temperature Magnetic, Thermoelastic and Structural Behaviour of Antiferro...
We propose to study the low temperature structural and magnetic changes in three clinopyroxene phases FeGeO3, CaNiSi2O6 and CaCoSi2O6. All three phases order... -
High pressure phase transitions in metal-formate perovskites
The family of guanidinium metal formates has the perovskite structure and, like many perovskites, is of interest for these materials' magnetic and electric properties, in... -
Extending the limits of experimental structure determination of amorphous sub...
Ge-As-Se glasses are interesting for two main reasons: they are widely used in infrared optics and optoelectronics and they serve as model materials for theories of glass... -
Probing the interactions of aqueous hydrophobically-modified microgel particl...
A recent LOQ experiment revealed that co-monomers are homogenously distributed within regions of colloidal poly(NIPAM) microgel particles. This proposal has two aims: (1) refine... -
