In-situ lattice deformation measurement in a ferritic steel at elevated tempe...
In our research programme the overall goal is to explore and characterise the multiscale deformation in a high-strength ferritic power plant steel (P91/P92). A micromechanical... -
Characterisation of Pearlman's catalyst
Pearlman¿s catalyst is commonly used in various hydrogenation, arylation and O-debenzyaltion reactions. The catalyst is unusual that it is active but not pyrophoric. It is... -
Controlling the morphology of fullerene-free polymer solar cells using additi...
We have recently demonstrated, using neutron reflectivity in combination with other techniques, that in organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs) the additive 1,8-diiodooctane (DIO)... -
Random and Systematic Errors in Measuring the Lattice Parameters of a Dissimi...
Dissimilar metal weld (DMW) joints are widely used in nuclear power plants to connect ferritic steel components with austenitic steel piping systems. AREVA has designed a new... -
Influence of nanoparticle size and morphology on the relative proportions of ...
Palladium is able to dissociative absorb large quantities of hydrogen, reversibly. However, the formation and relative proportion of different phases of palladium hydride, and... -
Quantitative determination of the Bragg edge transmission analysis of 9 steel...
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... -
Compatibilisation of polymer blends using electrospinning
This proposal seachs time to establish the conditions under which electrospinning can be used to provide (non-equilibrium) mixtures of immiscible polymers. Such an outcome might... -
Muon probes of hydrogen-bond network in supercooled water
Muon diamagnetic fraction in liquid water is known to decrease with decreasing temperature probably because its formation mechanism results from the structural alternation and... -
Investigation of the nature of organic surface species formed on Au-based sup...
The objective of this proposal is to spectroscopically identify the nature of surface species formed during the addition of tert butyl hydroperoxide onto the surface of the...
