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 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... -

Structure of GeSe4 glass using neutron diffraction with isotope substitution
The structure of GeSe4 glass will be measured using the method of isotope substitution in neutron diffraction with both Ge and Se isotopes. This material is representative of a... -
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... -
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... -
The structure of metal metaborate glasses
Scientific studies of borate glasses tend to focus on alkali borates, which can be made over a wide and continuous composition range. Contrastingly, metal borates have a wide... -
Atomic and electronic structure of 6Li/7Li enriched binary lithium silicate g...
Since local coordination state of lithium cation is important for functional lithium-containing glasses, deep understanding of the structure at atomic and electronic level is a... -
Investigation of local structure and vacancy ordering in Ca(Ti,Fe,Mn)O3 perov...
The CaTiO3 based perovskites exhibit mixed oxide-ion and electronic conductivity and have potential for use in ceramic membrane reactors. To bring the membranes closer to... -
Investigating the local structure of sodium within Bioglass®.
Bioactive glasses are of considerable interest due to their potential for biomedical applications. In order to model the behaviour and dissolution of these materials it is...
