Incommensurate-commensurate phase transitions in K2SeO4
Materials with incommensurate structures often show exotic properties (such as charge density waves). The development of reliable and efficient refinement techniques for such... -
Physical aspects of improving the fatigue strength of high strength steel wel...
This project will investigate the physical aspects of improving the fatigue performance (strength) of high-strength steel welded joints, such as for the use in construction... -

Approved proposal under the ICRD Scheme Proposal ICRD0002 -
Establishing a Novel Technique for Quantifying Internal Stress Generated duri...
Internal stress is a terminology often used in high temperature creep as a measure of the internal resistance of polycrystalline materials to creep deformation. Changes in... -
Selective Laser Melting Induced Residual Stress in a Nickel-based Superalloy
Nickel-based superalloy is widely used in aerospace engine components for its excellent high-temperature performance. Because of the difficulty in producing superalloy... -
Strain Relaxation Measurement combined with High-cycle Fatigue of Nano-crysta...
The term nano-crystalline refers to a group of metals, abbreviated as NC metals, with typical grain sizes of a few hundred nanometres. An increase in static strength of NC... -
Low energy spin dynamics of the stoichiometric heavy fermion CeRuSn3
Heavy fermion systems situated close to a quantum critical point present very rich physics due to the dominant Kondo interactions. Our investigations on the Kondo lattice heavy... -
High-pressure structure of magnetite nanoparticles
One way in which nanoparticles may differ from bulk properties are in terms of their response to pressure, but at the present time there have been very few structural studies of... -
From giant magneto-elastic coupling to negative thermal expansion
We recently used high-resolution neutron diffraction on HRPD to observe the largest magneto-elastic coupling ever seen in a metallic magnet. The material studied was CoMnSi, a... -
Investigating Mesoporosity in Hierarchical Aluminophosphates
Optimising catalyst lifetime and performance is pivotal to enhancing the sustainability of industrial catalytic processes, allowing greater product yields, at lower... -

Tentative approved proposal under the ICRD Scheme Proposal ICRD0015 -
Structural phase transitions in proton conducting BaCe0.8Y0.2O3-d as function...
The structure dependence of BaCe0.8Y0.2O3-d (BCY-20), a leading proton conducting material, will be studied as a function of temperature and, critically, controlled atmosphere... -
Stress gradient investigation of Fe-based materials prepared by Selective Las...
Selective Laser Melting (SLM) has a great industrial potential since it enables, from metal powder beds, producing full density complex monolithic part. The high temperature... -
Local ordering in the pressure-induced order-disorder transition in ammonium ...
Ammonium bromide undergoes a pressure-induced order-disorder transition, where the disordered (plastic) phase is thought to consist of a random distribution of ammonium cations... -
Development of High-Resolution Neutron Transmission Strain Mapping: Compariso...
High-resolution neutron transmission strain mapping is under development at ISIS to be implemented at IMAT, ENGIN-X and the newly proposed ε-MAP instrument. Transmission...
