Materials design for artificial pinning centres in Superconductor PLD Coated Conductors
(IoP, 2017-11-01)To date the strategy for inducing pinning in REBa2Cu3O7-x (REBCO where RE = rare-earth) coated conductors has largely been empirical. Hence, we are not yet at a point where we can dial-in the compositions and process ... -
The effect of crystal structure on the electromechanical properties of piezoelectric Nylon-11 nanowires.
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2018-06)Crystal structure is crucial in determining the properties of piezoelectric polymers, particularly at the nanoscale where precise control of crystalline phase is possible. Here, we investigate the electromechanical properties ... -
Design of a Vertical Composite Thin Film System with Ultralow Leakage To Yield Large Converse Magnetoelectric Effect
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2018-05-30)Electric field control of magnetism is a critical future technology for low-power, ultrahigh density memory. However, despite intensive research efforts, no practical material systems have emerged. Interface-coupled, ... -
Predicting microstructure and strength of maraging steels: Elemental optimisation
(2016-09-15)A physics–based modelling framework to describe microstructure and mechanical properties in maraging steels is presented. It is based on prescribing the hierarchical structure of the martensitic matrix, including dislocation ...
