Hysteresis in the deformation of layered crystal structures
The aim of this proposal is to study the origin of the hysteresis effect in many layered crystal structures, in particular MAX-phases, such as Ti2AlC. This effect has been... -
Neutron diffraction study of magnetic structure of PrFe2Al8
The crystal structure of PrFe2Al8 consists of a network of Al which forms quasi cage-like structure where the Pr and the Fe form chains of atoms along the c-axis. We propose... -

The effect of process parameters on residual strain generation and microstruc...
The aim of this work is to characterise the residual stresses in the longitudinal, transverse ans short transverse directions for 11 welds in 6.5mm thick HSLA-65 (ferritic) and... -
In-situ stress relaxation during heat treatment in sub-scale forgings of Nick...
Advanced materials such as polycrystalline Ni superalloys put increased pressure on developing appropriate thermomechanical procedures, which avoid the generation of large... -
What really governs porosity in Amorphous Solid Water (ASW)?
This experiment will establish the structural changes that occur in Amorphous Solid Water (ASW), a porous material that can be formed by vapour-depositing water onto a cold... -
Lattice strain evolution during uniaxial tension of an engineering steel
In our research program the overall goal is to explore residual stress effects on fracture of engineering steels at high temperatures. Towards this goal, we need to understand... -
A method to weigh polymer films and adsorbates during neutron reflectivity me...
With the advent of TS-II, there is a drive to probe more complex and multicomponent systems using neutron reflectivity. In such studies, confidence associated with model Nb fits... -
The mechanism of Oxygen Absorption/Desorption in YBaCo4O7+d (Y114) studied by...
An uncommon oxygen absorption/desorption behavior for cobalt oxide YBaCo4O7+d was found[Karppinen et al. Chem Mater 18 2006 490]. Y114 absorbs and desorbs oxygen up to d = 1.5... -
SANS study of the structure of surfactant stabilised Pt and Ru nanoparticles
Surfactants have been used to bind and disperse Pt and Ru nanoparticles during their synthesis. In this work, we propose to use SANS to determine the thickness and packing... -
Texture evolution in Zircalloy 4 during beta heat treatment
The aim of the proposed experiment is to measure the changes in crystallographic temperature during beta quenching of Zircalloy 4, an important nuclear fuel cladding material. -
Study of structural and phase transitions of carbon dioxide confined in the n...
The properties of fluids confined in nanopores differ from the bulk mainly due to the solid-fluid interactions and the finite pore size. Such phenomena are of fundamental... -
Order and disorder in (Mn,Fe)2(P,Si) magnetocaloric compounds
In the high-performance and low-cost (Mn,Fe)2(P,Si) magnetocaloric compounds, the detrimental hysteresis has been significantly reduced by balancing Mn:Fe and P:Si ratios, which... -
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... -
Determination of the Magnetic Properties of LaFeAs1-xPxO Across Multiple Magn...
LaFeAs1-xPxO has recently been proposed to display unusual properties as a function of P doping with two distinct superconducting (SC) domes separated by a possible AFM phase as... -
Magnetic ordering in the layered oxide chalcogenides A2FeO3CuCh (A = Ca, Sr; ...
This proposal is to measure the evolution of the magnetic structures of a series of iron oxide chalcogenides and compare the structures as a function of cation sizes and with... -
Interphase stresses and load-sharing during high temperature deformation of a...
Aim: The strengthening mechanisms of a creep resistant bainitic 1%CrMoV steel at both ambient and elevated temperatures are governed by the complex microstructure comprising... -
Amorphous Micrometre-Sized Water Ice Particles for Planetary Science Experime...
We request 5 days on NIMROD to characterise the pressure and temperature dependent properties of amorphous icy particles generated in liquid ethane, as they will be used in... -
Partial freezing of a Kagome Magnet
Ever since the first published consideration of the ground state of a triangular lattice of Ising spins by PW Andersen in the 50's, the pursuit of materials with geometrically... -
Establishing a Novel Technique for Quantifying Internal Stress Generated duri...
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...
