Particle dispersions in ODS Nano-Structured Ferritic Alloys
Oxide-dispersion-strengthened (ODS) materials are under development for use in applications in both nuclear fission and nuclear fusion power generation. The materials offer... -
High-Temperature Crystal Structure of Aluminium-Substituted La(Sr)Ga(Mg)O3-d ...
Due to a high-oxide ion conductivity, strontium and magnesium co-substituted lanthanum gallate (LSGM) is considered as a potential electrolyte material for solid oxide fuel... -
Structural Aspects and Magnetic Order in Fe based perovskite oxide fluorides ...
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... -
Structural studies of the cycling and decomposition of Mg(NH3)6(BH4)2
Given its high hydrogen gravimetric density, ammonia may be utilised as a hydrogen carrier, and thus ammonia stores are an area of interest. It is known that Mg(BH4)2 takes up... -
Electronically-driven structural transition in Ti-doped Ca3Ru2O7
The purpose of the experiment is to determine the effect of titanium doping on the structural and magnetic transitions of Ca3Ru2O7. The pure material undergoes a Néel transition... -
Completing the magnetic ordering-crystal structure phase diagram of supercond...
We would like to complete the phase diagram by measuring one more sample of Fe1+xTe for x = 14 %, which represents a point at one extreme of the phase diagram. The simple binary... -
Order-disorder transitions in ternary unfilled skutterudites
The aim of this proposal is to study the thermal evolution of the structure of two ternary ordered skutterudites, CoGe1.5Q1.5 (Q = S, Te). At room temperature, ordering of the... -
