In-situ Neutron Diffraction Study on the Tension and Creep Behavior of the Al...
Resubmitted proposal. High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are loosely defined as solid solution alloys that contain more than five principal elements in equal or near equal atomic... -
Diffusion of molecular hydrogen into pre-formed THF clathrate hydrate
The proposing team has a well established experience in the use of neutron scattering on samples containing molecular hydrogen, and has recently studied some aspects of the... -
Insulator to metal transition in TiOCl at high pressures
We propose to study the high temperature structure of TiOCl where a pressure induced metal to insulator transition has been reported recently by Kuntscher et al.Due to our... -
Stress evaluation of RAFM weld for fusion reactor
Reduced Activation Ferritic-Martensitic steels (RAFMs) are the primary candidate structural material for the FDS series LiPb blankets for fusion reactors, in particular the Dual... -

Investigation of the impact of mechanical twinning on the thermal expansion b...
We request three days of beam-time on POLARIS to investigate the influence of thermally-induced twinning on the thermal expansion behaviour of polycrystalline calcite.... -
Characterization of the texture properties of Euro coins as a function of min...
This work intends to see if a diffraction technique is able to distinguish between coins minted in different places. All the physical properties of euro coins were restricted by... -
Effect of the welding speed on the residual stress distribution in the AA7050...
Stationary-shoulder friction stir welding (SSFSW) is a relatively new solid-state joining technique which particularly attractive for alloys which are difficult to join via... -
Non-equilibrium kinetics in highly interacting polymer mixtures
We seek to investigate the non-equilibrium phenomena of a model polymer mixture by time-solved SANS and temperature jump experiments within (a) one-phase region and (b) one to... -
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... -
Neutron Scattering and Structural Measurements of CO2 and CD4 Adsorption in M...
Shale is an increasingly viable source of economic quantities of natural gas worldwide. Most of the gas is contained within the fine pores, thus characterizing accessibility and... -
The use of INS to characterise deactivation of methane reforming catalysts.
For the first time, the research team aim to use INS to characterise a series of candidate methane reforming catalysts. Recent studies have shown that modification of... -
Revealing deformation mechanisms in a novel eutectic high entropy alloy at cr...
In recent years, an exciting new type of engineering materials called high entropy alloys (HEAs) has received widespread attention. The excellent microstructural stability of... -
Large deformation and mechanical effects of damage in polycrystalline materia...
Metallic materials are widely used in industry. It is now classical to develop numerical simulation for their manufacturing processes in finite transformation and this is... -
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... -
The effect of additive manufacturing growth direction on the thermomechanical...
Despite the tremendous promise of selective laser melting (SLM) additive manufacturing technique, it is particularly challenging to apply it to the hard-to-weld, high... -
Three-dimensional reconstruction of the dynamic evolution of the Van Allen be...
Data assimilation aims to blend incomplete and inaccurate data with physics-based dynamical models. In the Earth's radiation belts, it is used to reconstruct electron phase...
