Investigating the breakdown of spring-exchange coupling at low temperature on...
Strong magnets with a high energy product are vital when optimizing the efficiency in the electricindustry. This can be achieved by making spring-exchange coupled magnets.... -
SESANS of beetle scales and butterfly wings
Neutron scattering and in particular SESANS is able to give us excellent ensemble averaging of the optical properties of materials which exhibit structural colour. We plan to... -
High-resolution Neutron Strain Tomography
Oxford University in collaboration with ISIS neutron facility have developed a new technique for imaging strain in engineering components in three dimensions. We termed this... -
Characterisation of tunnelling modes of adsorbed methoxy on eta-alumina
Our previous proposal strongly suggested that the methyl groups of adsorbed methoxy on eta-alumina do exhibit tunnelling. This application aims to provide additional evidence to... -
The effect of precipitation during natural aging on residual stresses in plas...
This experiment will determine the influence of second phase precipitation on subsequent post heat treatment cold compression for heat treatable aluminium alloys. Immersion... -
Electron Spin Relaxation Studies In the 5,7-Br/Cl/I Substituted Aluminium- Hy...
We have recently performed high field ALC measurements on the polycrystalline Metal Tris(Hydroxy-quinolate), MQ3, series in order to further investigate the intrinsic electron... -
Does the methyl group of adsorbed methoxy on eta-alumina tunnel?
This application seeks to discover whether it is possible to observe the tunnelling of the methyl groups of adsorbed methoxy on eta-alumina. To our knowledge, this is the first... -
Residual Stress in Machined Aluminium Blocks
Tentative approved proposal under the ICRD Scheme Proposal ICRD0015 -
Characterization of Aluminium Silicon Foams
We propose to investigate two different samples of aluminium-silicon foam both with imaging and diffraction techniques. According to the existing models, the liquid metal foams... -
INS Determination of the Surface Properties of Nanoparticle Pollutants
Metal oxide nanoparticles are a form of pollution generated by a number of industrial procedures, and there is evidence that this class of nanoparticle can have a detrimental... -
Nanoscale zerovalent iron (nZVI) impact on soil microbial communities
The use of nanoparticles for environmental remediation is an emerging technology. Pioneering the field is the use of nanoscale zerovalent iron (nZVI) to cleanup ground waters... -
SESANS investigation of structural colour in polar bear hair
Structural colour arises not from dyes or pigments, but from light scattering off of the inner geometry of the material itself. This offers greater stability than standard... -
Texture and 3D strain pole figure measurement of engineering components by GEM
The proposed experiment is to measure texture and strain tensor for specimens made by Direct Laser Deposition (DLD) and Linear Friction Welding (LFW) techniques. The... -
Chain conformations in aligned electrospun fibres
This proposal is part of a major research programme at Reading which is focused on nano-fibres prepared by electrospinning. The programme is focused on the electrospinning... -
The magnetic excitation spectrum in Fe1.07Te
We propose to investigate the high energy magnetic spectrum in Fe1.07Te. We have previously investigated the fluctuations in Fe1.14Te in the incommensurate phase and have found... -
Modelling market fundamentals: A model of the aluminium market (replication d...
The standard approach to modelling primary commodity markets under rational expectations is to relate the commodity price to the production and consumption surprises (i.e. the... -
Geochemistry of sediment core BDP-1-A (BDP93-1)
Major and trace elements in the 100 m drilling core samples from Lake Baikal have been determined by ICP-AES (inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry), ICP-MS... -
