Structural Characterisation of delta-BiNbO4
Bismuth niobium oxide (BiNbO4) is widely used in multilayer radio frequency and microwave components such as chip LCs and capacitors. While the low temperature forms of this... -
Total Scattering Study of Hexagonal and Rhombohedral Bi2O3 Based Electrolytes
Bismuth oxide based electrolytes have been widely studied due to their high oxide ion conductivity. The d-phase of Bi2O3 shows the highest known oxide-ion conductivity of any... -
In-situ high resolution neutron diffraction studies of cemented carbides
Cemented carbides are composite materials manufactured via powder metallurgy. The excellent wear resistance, high hardness, and high toughness make them widely used materials in... -
In-Situ Study of Self-Recovery in MAX Phases
MAX phases exhibit a unique combination of the characteristics ofboth ceramics and metals coupled with an unusual combination of mechanical, electrical and thermal properties.... -
Crystal structure and phase transitions of Sr2IrO4
Sr2IrO4 is an important material in the field of condensed matter physics, being a proposed J_eff=1/2 Mott insulator. Recent publications have shown that the reported low- and... -
Thermal expansion of kyanite, andalusite and sillimanite
Al2SiO5 forms three naturally-occurring polymorphs, kyanite, andalusite and sillimanite. These minerals are produced by varying degrees of metamorphism of sedimentary rocks, the... -
Understanding the formation of diamonds: Calibrating the coesite solid-inclus...
Diamonds provide our only direct samples of the very deep Earth and understanding their origin is consequently of great interest to Earth Scientists. The origin of diamonds can... -
Commissioning of High Temerature Furnace
The maximum operating temperature of standard ISIS furnaces with vanadium elements and shields is limited to 1000C (1100C under exceptional circumstances). The ultra... -
Understanding the Pressure Response in Amines: Weak hydrogen-bonding vs Non-b...
Methylamines are an ideal chemical system to study in order to understand the effects of steric bulk and competing non-bonding interactions on hydrogen bonding at the networks... -
An experimental test of the contribution of Mrozowski Cracks to the SANS from...
The life-limiting feature of AGR power reactors is probably radiation damage to the graphite moderators. This proposal (part of a collaborative EPSRC programme - Fundamentals of...
