Thermoelectric materials provide an alternative route for refrigeration and power generation bydirect conversion between thermal and electrical energy. With high chemical...

20 years ago, Anderson proposed that the thermoelastic properties of the dominant (mantle) phase within the Earth, MgSiO3 perovskite, could be described as a simple Debye solid....

This proposal sets out to investigate the high pressure behaviour of the double perovskitematerial with the chemical formula La2NiMnO6. The properties of this and related...

The aim of this proposal is to understand the origin of the cascade of magnetisation plateaus in monoclinic CoV2O6. While 1/3 plateaus have been reported in the literature,...

This proposal aims (1) to characterize the residual stress in Titanium alloys prepared by direct metal laser sintering, an additive layer manufacturing process; (2) to correlate...

Pyrochlore oxides based on non-Kramers rare-earth ions, such as Pr3+ and Tb3+, are candidate materials for the formation of the Quantum Spin Ice. However, structural disorder is...

There has been much interest recently in the possible applications of nanobubbles in solution, due to their wide applications in many fields of science and technology, such as...

The structure dependence of BaCe0.8Y0.2O3-d (BCY-20), a leading proton conducting material, will be studied as a function of temperature and, critically, controlled atmosphere...

Caesium-137 is among the most important hazards associated with low-level nuclear waste. Among the most promising materials for scavenging Cs+ ions from waste solutions are the...

We propose to measure the neutron diffraction pattern of a single crystal sample of SrEr2O4, using the WISH diffractometer. As the magnetic Er ions in this compound are linked...

White rust (WR) is a highly reactive material that acts as a precursor in many chemical processes. It is produced during iron corrosion and has been implicated as a key reactive...

Every new triangular lattice (TL) antiferromagnet attracts considerable attention since they usually display rich physics due to the inherent frustration and degenerate ground...

We have recently demonstrated the glass-forming ability of the family of hybrid micro-porous materials known as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Specifically, a family known as...

The formation of charge and spin density wave (CDW and SDW) states in metallic systems isdriven by Fermi surface instabilities that are often found to compete with...

Ferroelectric materials, mainly Pb-containing, have widespread applications in our modern-day life, primarily used as sensors, actuator and memories. However challenges still...

Ammonia borane (AB) is one of the most promising hydrogen storage materials. We have extensively studied the low temperature behaviour of this material This proposal asks for 3...

YbPd crystallizes in the cubic CsCl-type structure and reported to have magnetically ordered ground state with the mixed valence of the Yb ion. Further, it under goes through...

Current UK reactors use a graphite composite material in the core and this material comprises coarse grains and about 20 vol.% porosity. This material functions well so far but...

The fact that residual stresses are redistributed or relaxed during operations shows the importance of understanding residual stress after a particular period. Elastic shakedown...

In the current proposal we propose to test Zr-2.5Nb samples cut at a range of angles (0, 22.5, 45, 67.5 and 90°) in the RD-TD plane in in-situ compression at room temperature....
