Cation Ordering in Quaternary Sulphides and Selenides
We wish to investigate quaternary chalcogenides, A2ZnBQ4 (where A = Cu, Ag; B = Ge, Sn; Q = S, Se). Calculations indicate stannite (S) or kesterite (K) superstructures of both... -
Development of a Novel Low - Intermediate Temperature Solid Proton Conductor
The compound, Si5O(PO4)6, is a component of a solid phosphoric acid catalyst, it has highly unusual coordination of the silicon (octahedral, as well as the more common... -
The effect of heat treatment temperature on the texture development of the hi...
The aim of this experiment is to measure in-situ the high temperature beta phase in a Ti and Zr alloy in order to relate the beta texture with the alpha texture observed at room... -
Texture evolution in Zircalloy 4 during beta heat treatment
The aim of the proposed experiment is to measure the changes in crystallographic temperature during beta quenching of Zircalloy 4, an important nuclear fuel cladding material. -
Structural Phase Diagram of the new Multiferroic Hexagonal YbFeO3
This experiment aims to map out the structural phase diagram of the new multiferroic compound hexagonal-YbFeO3 as a function of temperature, both above and below room... -
Investigating the graphitisation behaviour of polycrystalline diamond at high...
Polycrystalline diamond is a man-made diamond material used for rock drilling and machining operations. Its vastly superior hardness to any other material allows it to cut... -
The origin of high oxide-ion conductivity and the nature of the intermediate ...
4 days of beam time is requested on HRPD to study the crystal chemistry of the ferroelectric Aurivillius phase Bi4Ti3O12 (Curie Temperature, Tc ~ 675 C, mixed conductor) and a...
