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... -
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... -
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 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... -
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... -

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... -
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... -
Structural role of magnesium in aluminosilicate glass
A combination of high real-space resolution neutron diffraction and 27Al and 29Si NMR experiments will be used to measure the structure of glassy MgO-Al2O3-SiO2. A focus will be... -
The structural role of carbonate groups in glass
We request GEM beamtime to study the structure of samples of sodium silicate glass with and without CO3 carbonate groups. The presence of CO3 carbonate groups in the glasses is... -
Chemical disorder and network structure of glassy As2Te3
Telluride glassy systems are widely used for phase-change optical recording. They are also promising materials for far-IR applications. The atomic structure of telluride glasses... -
The effect of combined modifiers: understanding the interactions between alka...
The mixed alkali effect is a well-known phenomenon whereby combining two alkalis in a ternary glass system can produce physical properties which can be superior to, but cannot... -
Structural Studies of High Level Waste Glass
The aim of this proposal is to develop a methodology to investigate multicomponent glass structure, combining neutron diffraction, XRD, NMR, ab initio MD, and RMC. We wish to... -
Neutron diffraction of amorphous FePO4 and LiFePO4
We are convinced that a careful study of the atomic structure of a-FePO4 would provide very interesting insights into several phosphate systems, including phosphate glass... -
As2Ch3 glasses: Understanding the relationship between glass structure and no...
We wish to study a series of glasses of composition As2Ch3 (Ch = S, Se and Te) to investigate the effect of varying the chalcogen type on the non-linear optical (NLO) behaviour... -
Structural behaviour of gallium in phosphate glasses for bone cements
Bone cements are an important class of biomaterial used in hard tissue surgery as well as periodontology. Many of these are glass-ionomer cements formed from an aluminosilicate... -
Structural investigation of biodegradable Mg-based bulk metallic glass
Mg-Zn-Ca glasses show considerable promise for use as medical implants. Magnesium, zinc and calcium are all elements found within the human body, and the biocompatibility of... -
The Nature Of Magnesium Substitution in Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate
We have a long established interest in the materials used for the immobilisation of nuclear waste from the domestic power industry and legacy waste from various defence... -
The Structure of Lead Tungstate-Phosphate Glasses
Lead tungstate phosphate glasses are of practical interest due to their electrochromic and photochromic properties, with a wide range of practical applications in smart windows,... -
Structural behaviour of zinc in low phosphate content glasses for bone cements
Bone cements are an important class of biomaterial used in hard tissue surgery as well as periodontology. Many of these are glass-ionomer cements formed from an aluminosilicate...
