One way in which nanoparticles may differ from bulk properties are in terms of their response to pressure, but at the present time there have been very few structural studies of...

Heavy fermion systems situated close to a quantum critical point present very rich physics due to the dominant Kondo interactions. Our investigations on the Kondo lattice heavy...

The term ‘nano-crystalline’ refers to a group of metals, abbreviated as NC metals, with typical grain sizes of a few hundred nanometres. An increase in static strength of NC...

Nickel-based superalloy is widely used in aerospace engine components for its excellent high-temperature performance. Because of the difficulty in producing superalloy...

Internal stress is a terminology often used in high temperature creep as a measure of the internal resistance of polycrystalline materials to creep deformation. Changes in...

Approved proposal under the ICRD Scheme Proposal ICRD0002

This project will investigate the physical aspects of improving the fatigue performance (strength) of high-strength steel welded joints, such as for the use in construction...

Materials with incommensurate structures often show exotic properties (such as charge density waves). The development of reliable and efficient refinement techniques for such...

Supercapacitors are devices capable of absorbing and delivering large amounts of energy over short time-scales. They are ideal for high-power/low-energy applications such as...

Zeolite catalysts are highly porous materials that take up gases and vapours into their pores. Accommodating the guest molecule inside the host framework leads to distortion...
