We wish to better understand the interaction between alkali and alkaline earth modifiers within the tellurite glass network by measuring neutron correlation functions, T(r)s,...

The ionic conductivity of sodium chalcogenide or chalcohalide glasses is 2 to 3 orders of magnitude higher than that of oxide glasses and comparable with lithium ionic...

We wish to better understand the influence of a common modifier in optical tellurite glasses, zinc. The aim is to relate structural changes in zinc tellurite glasses with the...

Phosphate based glasses, are being developed to replace the current silicate based systems as biomaterials. For application as biomaterials, beneficial ions can be added to...

Scientific studies of borate glasses tend to focus on alkali borates, which can be made over a wide and continuous composition range. Contrastingly, metal borates have a wide...

Hard carbons are amongst the most promising anode materials for sodium-ion batteries, but their charge storage mechanisms are still poorly understood. Difficulties in...

Tungsten Tellurites are being used to make optical fibres that transmit light into the mid infra red. However, not much is know about the structure of these glasses. We wish to...

The diffuse and intermittent nature of renewable power sources such as wind and solar presents problems regarding how best to harvest the energy they produce and store it for...

The structure of the phosphate materials Na_{1+x}Ge_{2-x}Al_x(PO_4)_3 with x = 0, 0.4 and 0.8 will be investigated using high real-space resolution neutron diffraction. In the...
