Unpicking the signal of partial order from thermal motion in diffuse scatteri...
Orientationally-disordered water molecules in ice adopt a degree of partial order upon cooling, a process that is halted by kinetics at ~100 K in pure ice and ~60 K in KOH-doped... -
Isotopic Mass Contrast Study of Silica Glass
We wish to perform neutron diffraction measurements on glass samples of SiO2 and 30CaO.70SiO2 containing both natural oxygen and 18O. The oxygen scattering lengths are almost... -
A Structural Study of Tungsten Tellurite Glasses
Tungsten Tellurites are being used to make optical fibres that transmit light into the mid infra red. However, not much is know about the structure of these glasses. We wish to... -
