Atomic structure of ternary tin phosphate glasses
Tin phosphate glasses are the alternative as lead-free glasses with zero photoeleastic constant (PEC) for fibers that are used in sensors of electric current. Since the binary... -
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... -
Structural Studies of High Level Waste Glass
The aim of this proposal is to develop a methodology to investigate multicomponent glass structure, combining neutron diffraction, XRD, NMR, ab initio MD, and RMC. We wish to... -
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... -
Unraveling the crystal structure of cuprice, CuOH×H2O GEM
Long-term nuclear waste repository strategies in Europe include the developing of safe multi-barrier isolation of spent nuclear fuel. One of the considered schemes is the... -
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... -
Understanding the structural changes in bioactive aluminium-doped phosphate g...
Additions of a small amount of alumina to bioactive phosphate-based glass significantly improves the formation of the hydroxycarbonate apatite layer on the surface when exposed... -
Structural origins of the high sulphur solubility of barium rich glasses
We will investigate the structural origin of the high sulphate solubility of Ba-rich silicate glasses with radioactive waste immobilisation applications by measuring total... -
Atomic and electronic structure of 6Li/7Li enriched binary lithium silicate g...
Since local coordination state of lithium cation is important for functional lithium-containing glasses, deep understanding of the structure at atomic and electronic level is a... -
Structure of niobium phosphate glasses
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... -
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... -
Breaking Zachariasen rules - the structure of barium zirconium fluoride glasses
Glass is an essential material with applications that are dominated by oxides, but fluoride glasses (based on barium zirconium fluorides, "ZBLAN" glasses) have key applications... -
Investigating the structure of novel chloride-containing bioactive glasses fo...
A range of novel chlorine-containing bioactive glasses have recently been developed at Queen Mary University of London for dental and orthopaedic applications. At present little... -
Atomic structure of barium tin phosphate glasses
Tin phosphate glasses are an alternative as lead-free glasses with zero photoelastic constant (PEC) for fiber applications. A second modifier oxide is added for improving the... -
The environment of lithium in an invert glass
We request beamtime to study lithium silicate glasses over a very wide composition range from 20 to 65 mol.% Li2O, made by rapid quenching. For the higher Li2O contents, the... -
Investigating the structure of novel fluoride-containing bioactive glasses fo...
We propose to study a range of novel fluorine-containing bioactive glasses with potential applications in dentistry and orthopaedics. At present little is known about the atomic... -

Polyhedra Coexistence in Alkali Borogermanate Glasses
GeO2-rich potassium borogermanate glasses are topologically complex, in that [BOn] (n = 3, 4) and [GeOn] (n = 4, 5, 6) polyhedra may all coexist. We wish to determine average... -
Local and intermediate-range order in AgI-containing glasses
Usual structural hypothesis related to superionic glasses containing metal halides MY = LiI, NaBr, AgI, etc., implies the absence of chemical interactions between the host glass... -
Null Isotope Study of Lithium Borogermanate Glasses
Alkali borogermanate glasses are topologically complex, in that [BOn] (n = 3, 4)and [GeOn] (n = 4, 5, 6) polyhedra may all coexist. Equilibrium between these structural units...
