Divacancy superstructures and enhanced thermopower in NaxCayCoO2
Replacing Na ions in NaxCoO2 with divalent Ca ions results in the formation of ordered arrays of divacancy clusters, rather than the trivacancy clusters found for the pure... -
Effect of temperature and strain mode on the strain partitioning and deformat...
Duplex stainless steels (DSS) are widely used in oil, nuclear and petrochemical industries due to their excellent mechanical and corrosion resistance properties. They are used... -
Microstrain evolution of multilayered Ti/X (X=Zr, Nb) composites under the ef...
The mechanical properties of multilayered metallic composites are determined by strain/stress partitioning between the constituent metals. However, the effect of strain on the... -
Adsorption of organics at the calcite/oil interface and the role of water
This proposal will exploit the unique ability of neutron reflection to characterise the adsorption of a key additive on the surface of calcite from a non-aqueous solvent and the... -
Adsorption of key functionality at the calcite/water interface
Calcium carbonate is one of the most abundant minerals at the Earths surface and plays a large role in the chemistry of aquatic environments, as well as being the main... -
Deforming TWIP steels at cryogenic temperatures
Dense mechanical twins and phase transformation are the most attractive athermal transformation processes since they can endow alloys with significant strength enhancement as...
