Metastable phase formation and memory effects in barium borate glasses.
BaB4O7 glass crystallises to different polymorphs of the same composition depending on the prior thermal history of the glass and the surface area of the sample. This indicates... -
Negative thermal expansion in ReO3: anomalous variation with temperature
ReO3 is a well-known oxide framework with unusual thermal expansion behaviour, exhibiting multiple regions of both positive and negative thermal expansion (NTE). We propose to... -
Unraveling the structural evolution and reactivity of white rust, a key inter...
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... -
Apatite-type Oxides for Energy Applications: Local Structure and Structural P...
Apatites are a large group of chemically and structurally flexible functional materials with important applications as solid electrolytes. The majority of known apatite... -

Texture memory and variant selection for steel and titanium and zirconium alloys
The proposed experiment will focus on determining the level of texture memory and variant selection on both heating and cooling for steel and titanium and zirconium alloys with... -
Rosseinsky programme access GEM
The proposal develops recent observations on spin-lattice coupling in incommensurate materials (objective - measure influence of applied field on evolution of structural... -
Structural studies of modified iron phosphate glasses to understand key struc...
We intend to use neutron diffraction and x-ray diffraction to investigate the structure of potassium and barium iron phosphate glasses, which are potential candidate systems for... -
Structural characterisation of new Li- and Na-ion conductors for potential us...
Re-chargeable Li ion batteries play a key role in modern consumer electronics and may have an important part to play as energy storage devices in a low carbon economy of the... -
A structural study of titanium tellurite glasses
Tellurite glasses exhibit strong non-linear properties which are related to the asymmetric environment of the Te atom. The non-linear optical effects are strongest when the Te... -
Test experiment: Neutron diffraction on helium in silica
We request 3 days of beamtime on GEM to attempt to perform neutron diffraction on helium inside vitreous SiO2. Significant amounts of helium can be dissolved into the glass... -

The First Structural Characterisation of some Gallium Oxide Polymorphs
We propose to make the first detailed structural study of some polymorphs of gallium oxide that remain poorly characterised and yet have applications in catalysis and are used... -
The anomalous thallium borate anomaly
We have a continuing interest in the structural role of lone-pair cations in glasses. Thallium oxide behaves unusually in borate glasses, not only in terms of its own... -
Cathodes for Na-ion batteries
Lithium-ion batteries are of great interest for automotive applications but are expensive. Sodium is much more abundant and hence cheaper so for e.g. storing energy from... -
The Calcium Environment in Gallate Glasses
The environment of calcium in glasses is of widespread interest, and there has been a number of structural studies of calcium aluminate glasses. However, the experimental data... -
Spin ordering in strongly geometrically frustrated magnets YCa3(MO)3(BO3)4 (M...
Geometrically frustrated magnetism (GFM) occurs in systems where magnetic cations (spins) are located on a lattice with a triangular geometry and there are antiferromagnetic... -
Short range static and thermal disorder in glasses and crystals
We seek to use the temperature-dependence of the neutron correlation function to investigate the extent of static disorder in glasses and crystals, and also to investigate the... -
