A certain type of alloys, with face-centered-cubic (FCC) structure and medium to low stacking fault energies (SFE), can trigger the formation of multiple twins (mechanical...

The interfacial structuring of a non-halogenated ionic liquid (IL) will be studied at a gold electrode interface as a function of applied potential, bulk IL concentration and...

Haynes 282 is a novel Ni-base superalloy, combining excellent weldability and general processability with moderate cost. As such, it is very promising for e.g. industrial gas...

Niobium is one of the candidates for causing strong non-linear optical properties in oxide glasses. Recently, Raman gain experiments on niobium phosphate glasses were quite...

We propose a simultaneous neutron reflectometry (NR)/attenuated total reflection (ATR) infra-red spectroscopy experiment on spin-coated thin films of self-assembled fatty acids...

This proposal is part of a collaboration between Oxford and Ulster Universities and Unilever, on the development of sustainable laundry detergents, using a blend of conventional...

The polycrystalline ceramic BiFeO3 - PbTiO3 is both ferroelectric and antiferromagnetic for a wide range of compositional space. We have shown in previous experiments that (1)...

Dense mechanical twins and phase transformation are the most attractive athermal transformation processes since they can endow alloys with significant strength enhancement as...
