In Situ neutron diffraction of liquid gallium at elevated pressure
Gallium has a low melting point and forms a liquid just above room temperature. The melting curve has a negative slope and when pressure is applied room pressure phases will... -
Understanding the barocaloric effect in Mn3NiN using neutron diffraction
Materials with large caloric effects offer the opportunity to replace current refrigeration technologies that require the compression of hazardous gases. Whilst magnetocaloric... -
Thermodynamic Control of Isotopic Polymorphism
Co-crystals of 4-methylpyridine and pentachlorophenol (MP-PCP) exhibit the very unusual property of isotopic polymorphism, formation of different phases by samples differing... -
In-situ devitrification of a Zr-based metallic glass (Zr59.3Cu28.8Al10.4Nb1.5...
Metallic glasses are alloys that do not exhibit long-range order. Samples of AMZ4 metallic glass (Zr59.3 Cu28.8 Al10.4 Nb1.5) have been produced using two different methods,... -
In-situ neutron study of Oxygen absorption in YBaCo4O7+δ
A recent addition to the list of emergent materials is the ReBaCo4O7+delta family of compounds. Indeed, due to the magnitude of their oxygen uptake and release capability, they... -
Local Structure in Ni-Cr Solid Solutions
The future of aviation relies on the improvement of the efficiency of the jet-turbine engines, which is in turn reliant on the properties of the materials (specifically the... -
Ice β-XV – a novel ice polymorph
Water molecules can form different hydrogen-bonded networks, a property known as ice polymorphism. So far 18 different networks have been characterized using neutron diffraction... -
Texture measurement and in-situ annealing of hot-rolled α + β dual-...
The experiment will use neutron diffraction to analyse a hot-rolled matrix of dual-phase ZrNb alloys, in order to measure the macroscopic texture dependence on temperature,...
