The estimated number of contact lens wearers worldwide exceeds 140 million people: contact lenses are indeed commonly used for corrective, therapeutic and esthetics purposes....

Neutron based techniques for materials study are important in fields ranging from chemistry, physics and archaeometry. Neutron diffraction gives information on phases and...

The investigation is aimed to confirm the non-diffusive process known as strain-induced martensite formation which could manifest itself in Duplex Stainless Steel (DSS) during...

These measurements are aimed to identify the chemical and metallurgical characteristics of some highly alloyed steel samples , heat treated and/or cold rolled.The experiment is...

The aim of this experiment is to gain knowledge on the two forging methods applied to make the Japanese swords under investigation. The purpose of the experiment is to correlate...

The main purpose of the experiment is to analyze by means of neutron diffraction structural properties and composition of different iron weapons and blades coming from...

This work intends to see if a diffraction technique is able to distinguish between coins minted in different places. All the physical properties of euro coins were restricted by...

We propose to investigate two different samples of aluminium-silicon foam both with imaging and diffraction techniques. According to the existing models, the liquid metal foams...

An archeological excavation taken in the Querciola area inside the municipality of Sesto Fiorentino (Firenze - Italy) brought to the discovery of a copper age metallurgical...

R&D on neutron detectors not based on 3He is important for both reactors and spallation ysources. Superconductive films were already succesfully tested in the sixties for...

The Bragg edge transmission (BET) analysis is a technique exploiting the presence, position and shape of the edges which form in time of flight transmitted neutron beams. This...

Antique objects made of Cu-Sn or Cu-Zn alloys have been widely characterised by neutron diffraction. However, the employment of binary alloys gave way to the use of more common...

The proposing team has a well established experience in the use of neutron scattering on samples containing molecular hydrogen, and has recently studied some aspects of the...

Historical metallurgy is one of the most interesting topics of archaeometry but, in order to have a good level of characterization of artefacts by traditional analytical...

In relation to TOF flight neutrondiffraction experiments conducted on Renaissance sculpture, we are proposing a systematic study of controlled shape, size and thickness effects...

Previous studies have attempted to correlate the results of metallography with neutron diffraction studies on the very high-carbon steels used in Oriental blades. Japanese sword...

We propose a continuation of the determine the bronze composition of the different parts of three Renaissance Bronzes. These bronzes are of mutiple parts which have been joined...

The proposed measurements aim to determine the behaviour of the structural parameters of iron-phosphorus alloys as a function of P-content, in order to have a reliable...

these mesurements are aimed to identify the metallurgical characteristics of 2 small brass statuettes and one fibula, excavated in a roman settlement.The compostiion and...

We want to investigate and Rietveld-refine the crystal structures of a number of lithium titanates and niobates of interest as battery anode materials. Some of these phases have...
