Texture measurement of 316H stainless steel before room temperature cyclic test

The development of decorated metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is important for enhancing gas storage and mixed gas separation systems. This proposed QENS study will investigate...

Recent theoretical work has identified that oxygen octahedral rotations (OORs) in layered perovskites such as Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) phases can generate noncentrosymmetry...

The aim of the proposed experiment is to determine the temperature dependence of the coercive stress, i.e. the critical stress required to induce ferroelastic domain switching,...

Apatites are currently of major interest in a number of fields: biomaterials, solid oxide fuel cells, catalysis, environmental remediation to name a few. Hydroxyapatite -...

The excellent high temperature properties of Ni-base superalloys are derived from the presence of fine precipitates of the intermetallic Ni3Al phase, termed gamma prime. The...

Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) are exotic states of matter in which magnetic frustration and strong quantum fluctuations destroy long-range magnetic order. Here, we propose to...

Geometrically frustrated antiferromagnet LuBaCo4O7 exhibits unusual competition between two low-temperature phases with orthorhombic and monoclinic symmetry. Depending on...

We have synthesised the ill characterised perovskite PbRuO3 at high pressure and temperature. Synchrotron powder x-ray diffraction shows the room temperature structure to be...

Methane clathrates are likely to be an important constituent of icy satellite interiors and a source of methane in the atmosphere of Saturn's giant satellite Titan. There is...

Superconductivity (SC) in unconventional superconductors is believed to be related to magnetism. However, in AyFe1.6+xSe2 (A = K, Rb, Cs) system discovered in late 2010, the SC...

We propose to investigate with polarized neutron reflection (PNR) measurements the magnetic moment and interface properties of Co- and Fe-doped HfO2 thin films and undoped HfO2...

Jadeite, NaAlSi2O6, is a rare, but geologically important clinopyroxene. In the upper part of the transition zone between the upper and lower mantle most pyroxenes are...

In situ composite materials based upon refractory metal - silicide eutectics are being considered for high temperature structural applications. These materials derive their high...

Magnetic frustration is a hot topic in solid state physics, mainly due to the topological new phases of matter that frustration mechanisms can drive (vide Physics Nobel Prize...

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 have recently performed a magnetic neutron scattering study at WISH to understand the unusual metamagnetic behaviour of the Dirac semimetal candidate CeSbSe. Unexpectedly,...

In Sheffield, 9% efficient organic solar cells have been made using a new non-fullerene acceptor called ITIC, when blended with semiconducting polymers. GIWAXS measurements have...

The so-called tin plague is often related to the progressive decay of metal organ pipes. Tin plague is an allotropic transformation of tin, spontaneously occurring at...

In our research programme the overall goal is to explore how residual stress/strain infulences thedeformation and fracture behaviour of engineering steels at high temperatures....
