Cation environments in lead-free glasses
BaO+ZnO containing glasses are being studied as an alternative to lead-based glasses because they exhibit excellent dielectric, thermal, optical and crystallisation properties.... -
Cation environment and the tellurite anomaly
We have recently shown that the anomalous behaviour of the Te-O coordination number, nTeO, for binary tellurite glasses is related to the presence of terminal Te=O bonds in... -
Refining compositions for bio-active phosphate glasses
We wish to investigate the structural changes which arise when B2O3 is added to a bioactive phosphate glass. We are particularly interested to study the phosphate environment... -
Disorder in substituted beta-tricalcium phosphate for waste immobilisation
We have a long established interest in the materials used for the immobilisation of nuclear waste from the domestic power industry and legacy waste from various defence... -
The Nature Of Magnesium Substitution in Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate
We have a long established interest in the materials used for the immobilisation of nuclear waste from the domestic power industry and legacy waste from various defence... -
As2Ch3 glasses: Understanding the relationship between glass structure and no...
We wish to study a series of glasses of composition As2Ch3 (Ch = S, Se and Te) to investigate the effect of varying the chalcogen type on the non-linear optical (NLO) behaviour... -
Structures of Gel Precursors of Nanoporous Materials
Our aim is to examine the structures of disordered gel precursors to nanoporous zeolites that are formed in the early stages of hydrothermal reactions. They are considered to be... -
Understanding the relationship between glass composition and rare earth envir...
We wish to investigate the effect of glass composition on the environment of rare earth ions doped into chalcogenide glasses. To achieve this the series of glasses, yNd2S3 ¿... -
The effect of combined modifiers: understanding the interactions between alka...
The mixed alkali effect is a well-known phenomenon whereby combining two alkalis in a ternary glass system can produce physical properties which can be superior to, but cannot... -
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... -
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... -
Probing the Earliest Stages of Zeolite Crystallisation
Our aim is to provide new data concerning the evolution of amorphous gel phases into crystalline inorganic materials to allow information about crystallisation mechanism of... -
Polyhedral connectivity in high lead silicate glasses
We have a long-established interest in the structural role of heavy-metal, lone-pair cations such as Pb in glasses. PbO can be incorporated to very high concentrations in oxide... -
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... -
Novel Alginate Adsorption onto High Surface Energy Crystal Faces of Calcite
In this novel proposal we will investigate adsorption onto the non-equilibrium face of calcite the first time this has been attempted. This will compliment and extend our... -
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... -
Structure of Lead Germanate Glasses
We wish to perform a detailed and comprehensive study of the structure of lead germanate glasses, over a wide range in composition. Most structural studies of germanate glasses... -
Neutron Reflection from a Biomineralisation Glycosaminoglycan on Calcite
Here we aim to structurally characterise the formation of adsorbed monolayers of heparin on calcite to address how these species influence biomineralisation and the inhibition... -
Adsorption of Aerosol-OT at the Calcite-Oil interface
The interface of CaCO3 (calcite) and water or oil is of paramount importance in a number of key academic and industrial areas, not least oil recovery and scale deposition in...
