Description
general research area:
The
mineral physics group focuses on the study
of inorganic materials by experimental, theoretical
and computational methods. Particular areas
of interest are
?
Ceramic hosts for the immobilisation of
nuclear waste
? Phase transitions in minerals
? Surface structures of minerals
? Microstructures in ferroelastic materials

Description
particular research topics for MULTIMAT:
We
will be investigating the structures and
properties of twin walls in perovskite materials.
We are interested in determining the atomic
scale structure and chemistry of domain
walls and understanding their properties.
Perovskite crystals are used in a number
of applications and thus understanding the
behaviour of twin walls within these materials
is of great importance. One twin wall property
we are especially interested in understanding
is the anomalous diffusion rates seen within
twin walls, for example in WO3 (see image).
We intend to address this problem with an
integrated programme of experiment and theory
and simulation.
