PhD studentship in in situ imaging and diffraction of dual-phase zeolite composites for nuclear waste remediation.
Applications are sought for a PhD project under the supervision of Dr Phoebe Allan at the University of Birmingham, Dr Sharif Ahmed and Dr Joe Hriljac at Diamond Light Source, and Dr Tom Carey at the National Nuclear Laboratory. Read more
New materials for solar cells
We have a vacancy for a PhD student to work on the synthesis and characterisation of new materials for solar cells. Hybrid lead halide perovskites are attracting considerable interest due to their potential as photovoltaic materials for solar cells with very high efficiencies. Read more
Measuring the elastic properties of single-crystal and composite materials
The elastic properties of solids are vital to understanding many physical phenomena, from the propagation of phonons to the dynamics of phase transitions. Read more
New Materials for Solid-State Batteries
Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are widely used in mobile applications. However, concerns about the availability of lithium and cobalt raw materials suggest alternative materials may be needed in future large-scale applications. Read more
Advanced characterisation of hydroceramics – Improving the safety case for deep geological disposal of radioactive waste
Nuclear energy provides almost a fifth of the UK’s electricity, generating waste that needs to be managed for safe, long term storage. Read more
Construction of a prototype ultra-high-vacuum compatible compact X ray monochromator for use in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) is the primary technique employed to determine the chemical composition and chemical state of material surfaces, with an analysis depth of approximately 5 nm. Read more
