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... -

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... -
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... -
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... -
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 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... -
Disorder in substituted beta-tricalcium phosphate for waste immobilisation
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... -
Structures of New Oxides from Total Scattering
Our objective is to determine accurate structural models for some novel oxide materials that we have recently prepared using new synthesis approaches, each of which is formed as... -
Cation environments in lead-free glasses
BaO+ZnO containing glasses are being studied as an alternative to lead-based glasses because they exhibit excellent dielectric, thermal, optical and crystallisation properties....
