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... -
Refining compositions for bio-active phosphate glasses
We wish to investigate the structural changes which arise when B2O3 is added to a bioactive phosphate glass. We are particularly interested to study the phosphate environment... -
Cation environment and the tellurite anomaly
We have recently shown that the anomalous behaviour of the Te-O coordination number, nTeO, for binary tellurite glasses is related to the presence of terminal Te=O bonds in... -
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... -
Atomic structure of ternary tin phosphate glasses
Tin phosphate glasses are the alternative as lead-free glasses with zero photoeleastic constant (PEC) for fibers that are used in sensors of electric current. Since the binary... -
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.... -
Metal Halide Induced Chemical Disorder in Chalcogenide Glasses
Chalcogenide glasses containing light alkali and Group 11 (Cu, Ag) halides MY (Y = Cl, Br, I) exhibit high ionic conductivity while their heavy alkali counterparts show...
