Hydrodynamic finite-size scaling of the thermal conductivity in glasses
In the past few years, the theory of thermal transport in amorphous solids has been substantially extended beyond the Allen-Feldman model. The resulting formulation, based on... -
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.... -
Structure of SnO-P2O5 glasses doped with heavy metal oxides
The exchange of Pb by Sn in high-refractive index and low temperature process glasses is a common need in pollution control. Here it is planned to study the structure of binary... -
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... -
neutron scattering analysis of automotive enamel glasses
A trial experiment is proposed to investigate the capability of wide Q-range neutron scattering techniques to probe the industrially important question of how low levels of... -

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... -
Structure of novel silica-free titanate glasses
Silica-free barium titanate bulk glasses, containing lanthanide elements, show unusually high dielectric response and a high refractive index. These properties allow crucial... -
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 ¿... -
Influence of Zn and Ca on the local structure of silico-aluminate glasses
Glasses used as glazes for ceramic bodies will be studied as a function of their composition, with emphasis on two elements, such as Ca and Zn, that show the largest influence... -
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... -

Thermal expansion studies of metallic glasses showing magnetocaloric effect
The main aim of our proposal is investigation of thermally induced volume changes occurring in short range order of amorphous pseudo-binary Fe(Mn)-B alloys in the vicinity of... -
Vibrational Dynamics of Alkali Silicate Glasses - An Isotopic Mass Contrast S...
The present proposal is part of a larger EPSRC project advancing the vibrational spectroscopy of silicate glasses. The project involves the techniques of IR and Raman... -
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... -
