Entrance solutions for PASTIS-2
We wish to test different guide-field-flipper solutions in the very short entrance path of PASTIS-2 when mounted on IN20, necessary before PASTIS-2 can be offered for a user... -
Use of TOF analysis of pulsed, monochromatic neutrons to suppress incoherent ...
Within the instrument development programme at the ESS, there is a new type of powder diffractometer that is based on pulsed, monochromatic beams, possible as a result of the... -
Acoustic levitation apparatus for neutron investigations on liquids with low ...
The sample environment is a critical component of research programs in advanced materials, geological systems, biology, and energy-related research and development. At high... -
Impact of moisture on the morphology of hybrid organometal halide perovskite ...
Using hybrid organometal halide perovskites as sensitizer in hybrid solar cells has attracted very high attention in the last two years due to the very high efficiencies which... -
Characterisation of pre-nucleation structures and subsequent crystal growth/ ...
Environmental concerns have led to increasing use of sustainable, bio-derived feedstocks in fuels including hydrogenated vegetable oil (consisting of C16 and C18 alkane... -
Fluid transport and pore accessibility in the Early Carboniferous Laurel Form...
We propose to investigate the pore size dependent accessibility, adsorption and desorption of geological fluids in Paleozoic sedimentary rocks from the Canning Basin using SANS... -
Inter-diffusion in electrodeposited metal bilayer films
We propose time-resolved specular neutron reflectivity measurements on Cu/Ag and Cu/Sn bilayers (each deposited on Au in either configuration). Electrochemical and AFM imaging... -
Microstructure of Homoeopathic Organic Solar Cells
About three years ago, a novel concept for organic solar cells (OSC) was published that according to conventional understanding of OSC should not work at all, or at least not as... -
Morphological Stability of OrganicSolar Cell Structures during Ageing
Organic Solar Cells (OSC), a potentially disruptive solar technolgy, have reached more than 10% in power conversion efficiencies (PCE), i.e. one central milestone towards... -
Measurement of light and heavy water thermal cross sections for neutron trans...
The current material descriptions are limited in accuracy, and in the structural and dynamical details. This study aims at providing better material descriptions for the nuclear... -
Temporal evolution of Cu segregation in binary Fe-Cu alloys: A comparative st...
Fe-Cu binary alloy is an appropriate prototype for reactor pressure vessel steels (RPV), since segregation of Cu is one the main reasons for embrittlement in RPV steels under... -
Optimisation of PTA for additive manufacturing
This experiment forms part of a major project at The University of Warwick to exploit Plasma Transfer Arc (PTA) Additive Manufacturing (AM) of titanium alloys for wider... -
In-situ investigation of structural response in trapdoor zeolites forselectiv...
We are investigating certain chabazite zeolite-type materials which have unusual structural features that allow the extra-framework cations to act as molecular trapdoors. These... -
thermal neutron damage in boron carbide
B4C is the material that will be used as neutron absorber in the future ASTRID reactor. In operating conditions it will be submitted to several irradiation fields. Here we want... -
Lithium Incorporation into SiliconSingle Crystals as a Model System for Anode...
In the field of automotive transportation lithium-ion batteries with high charge/discharge rates and high power densities are required. These factors are dependent on the... -
Quantification and full description of crystal lattices of silicides in silic...
This project wants to investigate experimentally the early kinetic of M5Si3 precipitation at high temperature (~1000°C) in silicon doped TiAl alloys, and make a full description... -
Eutectoid transformation and silicide precipitation in silicon-doped TiAl-bas...
This project wants to investigate experimentally complex phase transformations at high temperature in TiAl-based alloys. It is a part of a PhD thesis on silicon-doped TiAl-based... -
Reversible and irreversible effects of magnetic field upon hard-segment-domai...
Elastomers with embedded carbonyl iron particles, anisotropically arranged during the material curing in magnetic field form smart magnetorheological elastomers (MREs). They are... -
Stress dependence of the domain kinetics in Strontium Titanate
Strontium titanate (SrTiO3) is a well studied substance widely used in multilayerferroelectric thin films and as a substrate for high temperature superconductors. However,... -
Local structure of densified nanocrystalline Y-doped ceria
In nanometric ionic materials, when their grain size becomes comparable with the size of the space charge region (SCR), a non-negligible number of atoms is close to region...
