Anharmonicity and Tunnelling on the Potential Energy Surface of Ammonia
We request beam-time on the VESUVIO spectrometer in order to characterise the Potential Energy Surface of the Ammonia molecule through a neutron Compton scattering measurement.... -
Development of Creep Cavitation in Stainless Steel
Reheat cracking is a creep failure mode that has been observed in welded structures operating at high temperatures in the power generation industry. The failure results from the... -
Residual stress measurement across a full-sized 304-stainless steel girth-but...
A full-sized section of 304-stainless steel pipe with a non-stress relieved girth-butt weld has been obtained from a Pressurised Water Reactor. This project will accurately map... -
Characterisation of residual stresses generated by laser cladding and shock p...
Laser cladding is a process that improve the mehcanical properties of metal.It works by fusing a thin layer of additional metal to the original surface.However,tensile residual... -
Fabrication Residual Stresses in Boiler Bifurcations
Recently, a number of creep cracks have been found in complex pipe to pipe intersections, referred to as bifurcations in the boilers of the UK¿s Advanced Gas Cooled Reactors... -
Effects of plastic pre-strain on residual stress in welded steam tubing
Power generation plant heat exchangers contain many banks of thin section, small diameter boiler tubes that are usually cold bent to shape (introducing high levels of plastic... -
Structural Phase Characterisation of Iron Stone Objects from the Excavation s...
We propose to determine the mineral phase composition in 15 iron stone samples from the Tall Bazi excavation site in Syria. The results of this investigation will be compared... -
Copy of: Characterization of Indo-Persian blades of the Wallace Collection
This experiment is a continuation of a previous one aiming to analyse the composition and microstructure of Indo-Persian swords and daggers of the Wallace Collection whose... -
CYCLODEXTRIN-ENCAPSULATION OF PLATINUM-BASED ANTICANCER DRUGS
The goal of the present proposal is the study of supramolecular nanoencapsulation of platinum-based anticancer agents, by INS spectroscopy. A chemically modified cyclodextrin... -
Residual stress characterization of laser formed aluminium plates using neutr...
Laser forming is a novel manufacturing technique used to form metal sheet into complex geometries. The process is based on the introduction of thermal stress including plastic... -

Neutron Residual Stress Measurements of CANDU Piping Components
Residual stresses (RSs) in welded structures are inevitable and it is vital that they are considered and quantitatively estimated when analysing cracking and fracture problems... -
Diffraction peak shape and polycrystalline plasticity modelling
We propose to exploit the high resolution and well defined peak shape on HRPD to measure the evolution of peak profile shape at the early stages of deformation in stainless... -
ToF-ND microstructural imaging for 17th-18th c. European sword blades.
The key objective is mapping the internal microstructure of a series of samples of European sword blades from the 17th-18th c. The samples, which include a full blade and are... -
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... -
Laser-induced electron transfer in Trp-Tyr
We have recently performed a measurement of the dipeptide Tryptophanil-Tyrosine (Trp-Tyr) dissolved in deoxygenated water, illuminated by the 4th harmonic of the Nd-YAG laser... -
Compositional analysis and working technique determination of five Japanese T...
The Pitt Rivers is Oxford University¿s museum of anthropology and world archaeology. The Japanese material includes a large number of items of metalwork. Amongst these, the... -
CHARACTERISATION OF RESIDUAL STRESSES IN THE VICINITY OF WELD OVERLAYS AND EF...
Residual stresses can have substantial and detrimental influences on the integrity of power plant infrastructure. In this work, we aim to characterise the development and... -
The use of neutron diffraction to determine residual stresses in standard ISI...
High-pressure research is one of the fastest-growing areas of natural science. The European Commission is funding the Sample Environment Joint Research Activity (JRA) between... -
In-situ Neutron Diffraction Study on the Tension and Creep Behavior of the Al...
Resubmitted proposal. High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are loosely defined as solid solution alloys that contain more than five principal elements in equal or near equal atomic...
