Modulation occurs when there is ordering on two (or more) length scales. When the ratio of these is an integer, the modulation is said to be commensurate, i.e. one ordering is...

We will use neutron reflectivity to probe the formation of the passivating layer which forms on lithium battery electrodes, which ultimately governs their long term performance....

Metallic glasses are alloys that do not exhibit long-range order. Samples of AMZ4 metallic glass (Zr59.3 Cu28.8 Al10.4 Nb1.5) have been produced using two different methods,...

Bio-responsive polymers hold great promise as delivery vehicles for drugs, peptides and proteins as their chemistry can be tuned to effect a change in physico-chemical...

Catastrophic failures of lithium batteries is a major safety concern, however our understanding and control over the mechanisms of these failures is still lacking. Lithium is...
