Other (neutron) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 11 Other (neutron) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Resolving the unresolvable: using lenses to map accretion onto black holes and neutron stars

Supervisory Team: Dr Matthew Middleton. Project description. White dwarfs located in the halo of Andromeda (M31) are expected to lens some of the 100s of X-ray bright, accreting compact objects (black holes and neutron stars) located in that galaxy. Read more

Hidden black holes and the search for self-lensing binaries

Supervisory Team: Dr Matthew Middleton. Project description. Binary systems containing high mass stars evolve through a number of stages, and in many cases can appear as a black hole or neutron star orbiting at a large distance from a ‘normal’ companion star. Read more

Studying strong interaction with polarised probes

  Research Group: Nuclear Physics
The focus of this project is to exploit the world’s leading electromagnetic (EM) beam facility (MAMI) to elucidate the fundamental nature of hadrons, nuclei and nuclear matter. Read more

Theremoelectric Nanomaterials for Energy Recovery

Thermoelectric materials offer the unique capability to convert waste heat directly into electrical energy. Efficiency is related to a figure of merit (ZT S2sT/k), that is determined by the Seebeck coefficient (S), electrical conductivity (s) and thermal conductivity (k). Read more

Discovery of Functional Inorganic Materials for Net Zero Applications using High-Throughput Synthesis

This project will use high-throughput solid state synthesis methods developed in the group (Hampson 2023) to accelerate the discovery of new functional inorganic (oxide) materials for applications towards net zero technologies e.g. Read more

The effect of General Relativity on super-Eddington accretion

Supervisory Team:  Dr Matthew Middleton. Project description. Compact objects (neutron stars and black holes) can accrete material through a disc which is bright across the EM spectrum. Read more

2D magnetic materials: probing magneto-electronic coupling

2D magnets are an exciting area of research for exploring fundamental magnetic phenomena and with the potential for new electronic and optoelectronic functionalities [1]. Read more

Modelling charged-particle transport and heating in fusion plasmas

The project will investigate a very important aspect of inertial confinement fusion. the internal heating by fusion products. Recently, inertial confinement fusion has made considerable progress reaching the stage of substantial internal heating and later positive energy outcome (ignition) in several experiments. Read more
