The lubrication of surfaces by oils is a key aspect of many academic and industrial problems with significant financial implications. 2-D graphene materials can provide...

We propose a study on the electric field control of uncompensated spins in the Co/BiFeO3/STO bilayer system by PNR. Multiferroic BiFeO3 (BFO) has attracted enormous interest...

Hydrogen Peroxide is one of the cleanest, most versatile strategic base chemicals available. It is used at the large scale as oxidising agent in the chemical industry, as a...

The aim of the present work is to place the meteorites found on Earth back onto the Moon or planets from where it is assumed they come. In this context, to approach the above...

Oxide-dispersion-strengthened (ODS) materials are under development for use in applications in both nuclear fission and nuclear fusion power generation. The materials offer...

Ammonia decomposition will be performed ex situ at different temperatures on silicon surfaces with 50 nm of either iron or ruthenium. The main objective of the neutron...

There is currly great interest in the use of neutron reflection to study model bilayers. We have produced a model membrane system that is strongly associated with the substrate,...

In this work, we will investigate the structures (crystallographic and magnetic) of Mn5VO8 and a range of Fe containing perovskite oxide fluorides. In terms of the former, this...

Neutron Resonance Capture Analysis (NRCA) is a valid and effective experimental tool for the elemental analysis of objects (e.g. the metallic ones), especially those of...

quenching and partitioning the new heat-treatment porcess 2

The concept of an electronic nematic, in which the electronic wavefunctions have different symmetry to the crystal structure, has been proposed to explain several unusual...

Historical metallurgy is one of the most interesting fields of archaeometry. However, traditional analytical methods are often too invasive to be applied to the most interesting...

In the course of 2.5 years research in Cambridge, we have developed for the first time a tough, low-carbon martensitic stainless steel weld metal (CamAlloy 4) which can be used...

Grazzi, Scherillo and Zoppicon 1) have for the first time demonstrated the feasibility of neutron radiography on a pulsed source at INES, using a simple CCD camera. To permit...

Previous studies have attempted to correlate the results of metallography with neutron diffraction studies on the very high-carbon steels used in Oriental blades, and Indian...

Approved proposal under the ICRD Scheme Proposal ICRD0007

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...

Magnetic and superconducting ground states have been proposed to coexist in a relatively narrow compositional range in the so-called 122 pnictide superconductors. We recently...

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...

We propose to measure the dynamic nuclear polarization in a GaAs-based structure caused by electrical injection of a spin-polarized current using polarized neutron...
