Lithium titanium niobium oxides for battery electrodes
This proposal is part of a lithium ion battery research project for finding new anode materials. The redox couples Ti4+/Ti3+ and Nb5+/Nb4+ in titanium and niobium oxides show a... -
Texture analysis and TOF-ND on pre-roman bronze fibulas
TOF-Neutron Diffraction experiments conducted on significant archaeological findings from the pre-roman Ligurian settlement of Guardamonte (Monte Vallassa) have shown unusual... -
PHASES CHARACTERIZATION OF NEOLITHIC FINDINGS FROM SICILY
Ceramics manufacturing is one of the older and intensive human activities in all civilizations, from prehistoric to modern ones. In addition, potteries are approximately... -
Quantitative mineral phase determination of the core material from two Renais...
We propose to characterize the core material of two Renaissance Statues. The results of this study will provide us with quantitative information on the mixture of material for... -
Characterization of the anisotropy of the micro-structural properties of work...
Time of flight neutron diffraction (ToF-ND) is a powerful technique for the characterization of the micro-structural properties of the phases present in the sample. The Rietveld... -
Characterization of the neutron imaging parameters on INES
The aim of the proposal is the quantitative determination of the geometrical parameters and count rate parameters of an imaging device on INES. The measurements will provide the... -
Identification of the peculiar forging methods of three masterpieces among Ja...
Aim of this experiment is the identification and characterization of the peculiar steel production, and forging methods, of three Japanese swords made by the three most... -
Mineralogical investigation of archeological ceramic fragments from Modena (I...
We propose to investigate on INES the mineralogical composition of a collection of ceramic fragments from three different archeological sites in the Modena area (Italy). These... -
Non invasive characterization through time of flight neutron diffraction of t...
In order to extend our level of knowledge towards Oriental Arms and Armour, we have selected five samples specifically smelted, forged, characterized, and traded by Hitachi... -
Investigation of cross talk level among an array of thermal neutron counters ...
The research and development of new detection devices is a key issue to be addressed in neutron scattering due to the lack of 3He worldwide. Neutron radiative capture in heavy... -
Calibration and adjustment of a compact gamma detector for Neutron Resonance ...
Neutron Resonance Capture Analysis (NRCA). NRCA is a valid and effective experimental tool for the elemental analysis of objects (e.g. the metallic ones), especially those of... -
Late antique copper-alloys from Faragola, San Giusto and Canusium (Puglia, It...
From the archaeometric point of view, very few studies have been performed on late antiquecopper-alloys, mainly by means of destructive techniques.The present study opens up... -
Identification of Hidden Coins from an Egyptian site
The application of neutron based techniques in the field of archaeology is quite recent. In particular, the development of neutron tomography and its application on cultural... -
Non invasive characterization of Japanese armour components
Historical metallurgy is one of the most interesting fields of archaeometry. Armours also were usually crafted using high quality materials, and this seems is evident in those... -
Non-invasive study of Indian sword blades
The Wallace Collection, London has one of the most important collections of Indian Arms & Armour outside the subcontinent. Museum objects must be studied non-destructively,... -
Effects of hardening and annealing cycles on binary and leaded bronzes
Here, we aim at characterizing the micro-structural and compositional effects of hardening and annealing on binary and leaded bronzes under different operative conditions. The... -
Polymorphism and Li coordination in LiFeO2 ionic conductors
Despite the importance of the LiFeO2 phases as cathode materials in lithium ion batteries, little is known about their crystal structures. In the frame of our research project... -
Non invasive characterization of four eneolithic arsenic rich metal artefacts...
Archaeological research in the Fontino cave in the north of Tuscia brought to the discovery of several eneolithic metal copper based artefacts as knives, awls and rivets (4000... -
Structural Phase Characterisation of Iron Stone Objects from the Excavation s...
We propose to determine the mineral phase composition in 15 iron stone samples from the Tall Bazi excavation site in Syria. The results of this investigation will be compared... -
manufacture and standardisation of English Monumental letters
English brass letters form the earliest remains from decorated tombslabs of the period 1250 - 1350AD. The letters can be classified in several stylistic groups, and a certain...
