The Contribution of Lattice Vibrations to Switchable Spin-Crossover Crystals

  Research Group: School of Chemistry
Spin-crossover is a high-spin-to-low-spin transition at a transition metal centre, induced by temperature or pressure. It is common in iron chemistry, but also occurs in some compounds of other common metals. Read more

Particle properties by design

  Research Group: School of Chemical and Process Engineering
This interdisciplinary project presents an exciting opportunity for an ambitious scientist or engineer to work across the boundaries of chemistry, physics and engineering, with opportunities to develop a broad portfolio of skills. Read more

Lead-free materials for electrostatic energy storage

  Research Group: School of Chemical and Process Engineering
This multidisciplinary project spans materials science, chemistry and physics to develop lead-free environmental friendly materials for enhanced electrostatic energy storage. Read more

Future Carbon-Neutral Fuels: The Chemistry of Ammonia on Steel Surfaces

  Research Group: School of Chemical and Process Engineering
This project will examine how ammonia, a carbon-free fuel considered a replacement for diesel, impacts on the longevity and performance of existing engine technologies. Read more

Nanomaterials as White Light Emitters for Low Cost Lighting

  Research Group: Chemistry and Biosciences
White-light emission (WLE) from semiconductor nanostructures is presently a research area of intense interest especially where the primary objective is to replace conventional light sources by environmentally friendly materials in order to minimize energy costs and therefore the global energy consumption for lighting.

Terahertz frequency devices for future communication systems

  Research Group: School of Electronic & Electrical Engineering
High data throughput wireless communication systems are central to our lives and livelihoods. Data traffic is increasing exponentially, with the fastest-growing part of this increase being on wireless channels, as mobile users increasingly make use of online services. Read more

Predictive design of drug co-crystals through correlative studies of inter-molecular interactions

  Research Group: School of Chemical and Process Engineering
This interdisciplinary project presents an exciting opportunity for an ambitious scientist or engineer to work across the boundaries of chemistry, physics and engineering, with opportunities to develop a broad portfolio of skills. Read more

Unravelling the role of corrosion products in the localised corrosion of large scale energy system infrastructure

  Research Group: School of Mechanical Engineering
Carbon dioxide (CO2) corrosion of carbon steel is a degradation mechanism observed across mature and new energy systems, as well as carbon abatement technologies such as Carbon Capture and Storage. Read more

Solid-state single photon sources for quantum sensing

  Research Group: School of Chemical and Process Engineering
Single photon sources are an important requirement for many quantum technology applications. For example, currently the most successful single photon sources are those produced using atom-cavity systems, quantum dots and colour centres in diamond crystals. Read more

Oxidic Nanomaterials for High Density Storage in Li-ion Batteries

  Research Group: Chemistry and Biosciences
The oxides of a number of materials are very appealing candidates as substitutes for conventional anodes in lithium-ion batteries because of their high theoretical capacity, high electric conductivity low potential of lithium ion intercalation, as well as superior electron mobilities, with one such material, SnO2 being particularly appealing.
