LaSrCoFeO6 is a rhombohedral perovskite, and can be reduced to the orthorhombic brownmillerite LaSrCoFeO5 in reducing atmospheres at around 600 deg C. This material is air...

Nickel-based superalloys have excellent high-temperature properties due to the dispersion of stronger precipitates in matrix. The properties are significantly affected by the...

Cubic cadmium(II) cyanide shows the most pronounced isotropic NTE effect known, with behaviour more than twice as extreme as that of better known materials such as ZrW2O8. This...

Sr2RuO4 is an oxide metal which becomes superconducting at 1.5 K. In conventional superconductors, the electron (Cooper) pairs responsible for superconductivity have zero...

In typical odontological studies water sorption in the restoration material is determined by weighing freshly mixed cement at regular intervals. In the case of resin-modified...

Whilst rechargeable batteries continue to take over the consumer electronics market, they are unsuitable to replace specific battery technologies, such as the thermal battery,...

With the discovery of almost 3000 exo-planets it is clear that planet formation is a by-product of star formation, yet in the micron ? cm size range, where relative velocities...

The biomaterial potential of many calcium phosphates, such as hydroxyapatites and tricalcium phosphates (Ca3(PO4)2, TCP hereafter), have led to much literature attention over...

Sustainable energy-conversion technologies are important for ensuring our energy supply against declining fossil fuel reserves. Thermoelectric materials offer great potential...

Our group has been working partially oxidized cellulose nanofibrils which form gels in aqueous formulations. Recently we have observed that these fibrils also gel when dialysed...

The sequence of structural phase transitions that occur in distorted ABO3 perovskites as a function of temperature is of intrinsic interest for better understanding of the...

Neutron spin resonance mode is a common feature in different classes of magnetic superconductors; nonetheless, the microscopic origin of the mode is still unclear. In general,...

The objectives of this proposal is to seek 2 days on POLARIS in order to test and complete a full commissioning of the latest design of our prototype in-situ reaction cell for...

Bearings are essential components in many types of machinery, working to reduce energy losses. Over the last century improved analytical models were developed for predicting the...

Inexpensive light-metal amides are among the most highly active and effective ammonia decomposition catalysts at modest temperatures and are likely to surpass the performance of...

In collaboration with Sasol Technology UK Ltd, the research team have previously used INS to investigate the surface chemistry of synthesis gas (CO + H2) over a series of...

In a series of in situ neutron diffraction measurements from deuterium up-take in Li3N, the present authors have identified a novel non-stoichiometric 'quasi-imide' of...

This proposal will explore the effect of elevated pressure on the behaviour of two important hydrogen peroxide solvates of the explosive CL-20. We will use neutron diffraction...

Very recently, we have studied the crystalline structure of the C0-phase H2-filled ice (recovered at room pressure and low temperature) and ice XVII, a new form of ice...

In a previous proposal we started to study the micellar structures formed from biodegradable surfactants synthesised using amino acids as the headgroups. The aim of this work is...
