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), 2018-06-19)Crystal structure is crucial in determining the properties of piezoelectric polymers, particularly at the nanoscale where precise control of the crystalline phase is possible. Here, we investigate the electromechanical ... -
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
(Elsevier BV, 2016)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 ...
