We request 6 days of HRPD time in order to study the structures on the tetragonal side of the lead zirconate-titanate (PZT) phase diagram, a region that has so far been rather...

Fracture prediction of structures manufactured from high strength engineering steels is a high priority in key industries. In this work residual stress (RS) effects on creep...

Zr is used extensively in nuclear reactors worldwide in a broad range of microstructural conditions due to its thermomechanical, corrosion and neutronic properties. However the...

In this work, we propose to exploit the unique capability of neutron reflection (NR) to study the structural changes of multi-component lipid monolayer models mimicking...

The increased prevalence of antimicrobial resistant bacteria is the most significant challenge facing the human-health today in both developed and developing worlds. It's...

What does a quantum particle do when you are not looking at it? For a classical moving object, like a golf ball, we know its trajectory even when we are not looking at it. This...

Ge-Sb-Te chalcogenide alloys are important for applications in advanced (non-volatile) random-access memory based on a reversible switching between the crystalline and amorphous...

New metal organic framework (MOF); C12H12CuN2O4 as a hydrogen storage material has found, and it absorb 2.6 wt% hydrogen at 70 bar. Surprisingly, the absorption curve is still...

Nanocomposites are prevalent in many industrial applications. The use of graphene in inexpensive materials such as polymers can have significant modifications to the polymer...

Freezing of fluids confined at the nanoscale is of great importance for the understanding of their behaviour due to the confinement effects arising from the finite pore size and...

There is a pressing worldwide need for research to develop specific sustainable spent fuel reprocessing technologies suitable for minimizing waste from next generation nuclear...

In this study, in-situ high-temperature loading investigations will be performed to characterise the micromechanics of a high strength alloy 720Li, during stress relaxation in...

In recent years, the long-standing belief that beyond the critical point, matter exhibits no clear transition between liquid-like and gas-like states has been questioned. A line...

Organic ferroelectrics are in the focus of current research because their potential applications as a material to address global challenges. These lightweight, flexible and...

We have been studying the formation of solid polymer-surfactant films at the air-solution interface formed from cationic surfactants with PEI. We wish to use the micelles...

Fluoride Ion Batteries (FIB) are alternative energy storage systems which work based on the transport of fluoride ions between the electrochemically active electrode materials....

Having established the photo-MuSR method in intrinsic silicon to investigate excess carrier recombination lifetime and Mu-photocarrier dynamics in our previous experiments, we...

This project is being conducted at the Advanced Forming Research Centre (AFRC), funded by UK government through the “Innovative UK (I-UK)” initiative known as Manufacturing...

The applicants aim to perform the most authoritative measurements of NCS profiles by controlling and precisely quantifying everything to do with the sample. In July 2008 we...

Water-soluble conjugated polymers (WSCP) are an important class of materials which have received great attention as active materials in optoelectronic devices and in biosensing....
