Stress relaxation in linear friction welds of fine-grained Al alloy during in...
Welding processes are usually associated with significant thermal gradients and may generate high tensile residual stresses in and near the bond line. These stresses reduce the... -
Identifying the mechanism behind spin relaxation in organic materials
We wish to measure the low-field ALCs of a series of related functionalised acenes to identify which mechanism (spin orbit or hyperfine) is responsible for spin relaxation in... -
Separating static and dynamic contributions to the muon relaxation in Ca3(Co,...
Ca3CoMnO6 has alternating ions in ferromagnetic Ising chains that are antiferromagnetically coupled on a triangular lattice and realizes an important model in frustrated... -
Investigation of the effect of crack propagation on weld zone residual stress...
Welds have an associated residual stress field that affects the propagation rate of weld zone defects/cracks. Crack propagation modifies the local stress field through residual... -
Effect of texture on generation of intergranular stresses in 316H
Intergranular stresses are generated in polycrystalline material due to anisotropic deformation during monotonic and cyclic loading. Such generated intergranular stresses can... -
Structural origin of anomalous relaxation behaviour in alcohol-water mixtures
In recent dielectric and calorimetric studies of some alcohol-water mixtures we have discovered unexpected and unexplained relaxation behaviours. Our aim with this proposal is... -
Electron spin relaxation measurements in polymeric systems
This proposal looks to study the electron spin relaxation using high field ALC measurements in two polymers, which differ only by the non-metal (i.e S or Se) in the polymer... -
Time reversal symmetry breaking in superconducting PrOs4Sb12 and its alloys
In 2005 we carried out muon spin relaxation (muSR) experiments in Pr(Os1-xRux)4Sb12 alloys at KEK, Tsukuba, Japan, to investigate the time-reversal symmetry breaking found in... -
Stochastic vs. Intermolecular Motions in Strongly Associated Liquids: The Cas...
Neutron scattering is a powerful technique to study stochastic motions in liquids but it requires an energy resolution well below the meV range. As a consequence, quasielastic... -
Search for Antiferromagnetic order in ZrMn2
Today, about seventy years after Laves, there exists a fairly good knowledge about the basic structural principles of Laves phases but many questions still remain. AMn-type... -
Proton Delocalization in Liquid Hydrogen Chloride
Liquid HCl has attracted numerous studies focusing onto the role played by hydrogen bonding on the dynamical properties of this weakly associated liquid. Previous computational... -
Structural relaxation in LiCl 6D2O
We propose to measure the structural relaxation in this prototype glass former. The structural ralaxation time will be obtained at the structure factor maximum. We suppose that... -
Residual stresses in a ring weld specimen after extended creep relaxation
Reheat cracking is a failure mechanism seen in welds fabricated from high temperature creep resistant materials. A new feature test specimen (ring-weld) has been designed to... -
Development of internal strains during compression of Al-Si alloy Al-7Si-0.4Mg
This proposal follows on from our successful experiment on ENGIN-X lin 2006, where we measured the development of strains in the aluminium and silicon phases of a common casting... -
Spin relaxation of short-lived spin-labelled radicals in solution
The spin relaxation rates of free radicals in solution can provide valuable information about the dynamics of molecular tumbling in solution, and solvent-radical interactions.... -
Multiple phase transitions in U2Pt2Sn studied with muon-spin-rotation and rel...
U2Pt2Sn crystallizes in the tetragonal Zr3Al2-type structure (P42/mnm, Z = 4), where uranium atoms occupy two different sites. Our measurements of bulk properties have shown... -
µSR studies of free radical reactions by non-thermal microwave effects
We plan to study the non-thermal microwave (MW) effects on H2O2 through its reaction with muonium under MW irradiation. The key objectives are 1) for the first time definitively... -
