Neutron Diffraction Study of Deformation in Coarse-Grained Cast Alpha-Uranium
This experiment aims to obtain experimental data to validate crystal plasticity modelling of a metal with a complex, anisotropic, crystal structure. We propose to measure the... -
Hysteresis in the deformation of layered crystal structures
The aim of this proposal is to study the origin of the hysteresis effect in many layered crystal structures, in particular MAX-phases, such as Ti2AlC. This effect has been... -
Influence of compressive stress and electric field on the shape memory effect...
The proposed experiment involves monitoring the depolarisation behaviour of rhombohedral PZT (lead zirconate titanate) ceramics caused by ferroelectric domain switching during...
