Unraveling the crystal structure of cuprice, CuOH×H2O GEM
Long-term nuclear waste repository strategies in Europe include the developing of safe multi-barrier isolation of spent nuclear fuel. One of the considered schemes is the... -
Short range static and thermal disorder in glasses and crystals
We seek to use the temperature-dependence of the neutron correlation function to investigate the extent of static disorder in glasses and crystals, and also to investigate the... -
Monitoring Packing Changes in Magnetic Halogenated Phthalocyanine Molecules
The way that small molecules pack together can have substantial ramifications on the observed physical properties, reactivity, and device characteristics, even if the molecule... -
Texture evolution in Zircalloy 4 during beta heat treatment
The aim of the proposed experiment is to measure the changes in crystallographic temperature during beta quenching of Zircalloy 4, an important nuclear fuel cladding material. -
Polyhedral connectivity in high lead silicate glasses
We have a long-established interest in the structural role of heavy-metal, lone-pair cations such as Pb in glasses. PbO can be incorporated to very high concentrations in oxide... -

Additions of a small amount of alumina to bioactive phosphate-based glass significantly improves the formation of the hydroxycarbonate apatite layer on the surface when exposed... -
P4Se3 polyamorphic glasses synthesised at high-pressure
PxSe1-x glasses cover almost entire composition range from pure Se to P0.84Se0.16. In addition, red phosphorus is usually also amorphous. The P4Se3 cage compound, situated in... -
Structure of sustainable lead-free low-melting vanadate glass by neutron and ...
V2O5 based glass with a sealing temperature of around 400ºC is now being applied in electronic devices, such as in crystal oscillators and MEMS devices as an alternative sealant... -
Monitoring Packing Changes in Magnetic Halogenated Phthalocyanine Molecules
The way that small molecules pack together can have substantial ramifications on the observed physical properties, reactivity, and device characteristics, even if the molecule... -
Structure of Permanently Densified SiO2 Glass
SiO2 is a prototypical network-forming glass that can be processed under high pressure and temperature conditions to give a permanently densified glass with a density that is up... -
The anomalous thallium borate anomaly
We have a continuing interest in the structural role of lone-pair cations in glasses. Thallium oxide behaves unusually in borate glasses, not only in terms of its own... -
Breaking Zachariasen rules - the structure of barium zirconium fluoride glasses
Glass is an essential material with applications that are dominated by oxides, but fluoride glasses (based on barium zirconium fluorides, "ZBLAN" glasses) have key applications... -

The First Structural Characterisation of some Gallium Oxide Polymorphs
We propose to make the first detailed structural study of some polymorphs of gallium oxide that remain poorly characterised and yet have applications in catalysis and are used... -
Structure of Lead Germanate Glasses
We wish to perform a detailed and comprehensive study of the structure of lead germanate glasses, over a wide range in composition. Most structural studies of germanate glasses... -
Structural origins of the high sulphur solubility of barium rich glasses
We will investigate the structural origin of the high sulphate solubility of Ba-rich silicate glasses with radioactive waste immobilisation applications by measuring total... -
Structure of Ge-Se Glasses: Extreme Compositions
We propose to measure the structure of glassy Ge2Se3 and GeSe9 which lie at either end of the glass forming region in the Ge-Se system. The motivation is provided by the need to... -
Mercury Sulphide Dimorphism in Thiogermanate Glasses
Crystalline mercury sulphide exists in two drastically different polymorphic forms: red chain-like insulator, alpha-HgS, and black tetrahedral narrow-band semiconductor,...
