Analysis and modelling of the dislocation response during non-isothermal creep in Ni-SX superalloys
(2019-10-26)Nickel-based single-crystal superalloys are commonly used as the material of choice for turbine blades in modern aircrafts. The temperatures and stresses in the turbine are subject to continuous change during in-flight ... -
Host-Guest Systems and Their Derivatives Based on Metal-Organic Frameworks
(2019-07-04)Including guest compounds inside the pores of nanoporous crystalline hosts (e.g. zeolite) is a key strategy to post-synthetically functionalise these nanoporous materials over past half a century. It yields highly active ... -
Development of Multi-Microscopy Techniques for the Characterisation of Nitride Semiconductors
(2019-07-20)Heteroepitaxially-grown nitride semiconductors typically contain a high density of extended defects, particularly threading dislocations (TDs). Despite the relative defect tolerance of these materials, it is important to ... -
Factors contributing to the yield strength of polycrystalline nickel-based superalloys
(2019-06-05)Nickel-based superalloys are the material of choice for use in the hottest regions of gas turbine engines due to their inimitable mechanical properties, in particular, high temperature strength. As we become increasingly ...
