Helmholtz-Manakov solitons (2006)
Journal Article
Christian, J., McDonald, G., & Chamorro-Posada, P. (2006). Helmholtz-Manakov solitons. Physical Review E, 74(6), 066612. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevE.74.066612

A novel spatial soliton-bearing wave equation is introduced, the Helmholtz-Manakov (H-M) equation, for describing the evolution of broad multi-component self-trapped beams in Kerr-type media. By omitting the slowly-varying envelope approximation, the... Read More about Helmholtz-Manakov solitons.

Korteweg-de Vries description of Helmholtz-Kerr dark solitons (2006)
Journal Article
Christian, J., McDonald, G., & Chamorro-Posada, P. (2006). Korteweg-de Vries description of Helmholtz-Kerr dark solitons. https://doi.org/10.1088/0305-4470/39/50/004

A wide variety of different physical systems can be described by a relatively small set of universal equations. For example, small-amplitude nonlinear Schrödinger dark solitons can be described by a Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. Reductive perturb...

One step process for chemical vapour deposition of titanium dioxide thin films incorporating controlled structure nanoparticles (2006)
Journal Article
Nolan, M., Pemble, M., Sheel, D., & Yates, H. (2006). One step process for chemical vapour deposition of titanium dioxide thin films incorporating controlled structure nanoparticles. Thin Solid Films, 515(4), 1956-1962. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tsf.2006.07.182

In this work we describe a two stage chemical-vapour-deposition based route to growing nanoparticle containing thin films. As a model we describe titanium dioxide film formation on glass substrates. The process involves using a gas-to-particle conver...

Synchrotron x-ray measurement and finite element analysis of residual strain in TIG welded aluminium alloy 2024 (2006)
Journal Article
Preston, R., Shercliff, H., Withers, P., Hughes, D., Smith, S., & Webster, P. (2006). Synchrotron x-ray measurement and finite element analysis of residual strain in TIG welded aluminium alloy 2024

Residual strains have been measured in a tungsten inert gas (TIG) butt-welded 2024 aluminum alloy plate using synchrotron X-ray diffraction. Novel two-dimensional strain maps spanning the entire plate reveal steep gradients in residual stress and pro...

Fresnel diffraction and fractal patterns from polygonal apertures (2006)
Journal Article
Huang, J., Christian, J., & McDonald, G. (2006). Fresnel diffraction and fractal patterns from polygonal apertures. https://doi.org/10.1364/JOSAA.23.002768

Two compact analytical descriptions of Fresnel diffraction patterns from polygonal apertures under uniform illumination are detailed. In particular, a simple expression for the diffracted field from constituent edges is derived. These results have fu...

The rotational and translational dynamics of molecular hydrogen physiosorbed in activated carbon: A direct probe of microporosity and hydrogen storage performance. Carbon, 44(13), 2724-2738. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.carbon.2006.04.023

We have measured Incoherent Inelastic Neutron Scattering (IINS) spectra of H2 physisorbed in high purity chemically activated carbon (AC) at different surface coverage and at temperatures near the triple point of bulk hydrogen. Our experimental resul...

The 3-dimensional behaviour of masonry arches with point supports to the intrados (2006)
Presentation / Conference
Melbourne, C., & Wang, J. (2006, October). The 3-dimensional behaviour of masonry arches with point supports to the intrados. Presented at Seventh International Masonry Conference (7 IMC), The Institution of Civil Engineers, London

In the United Kingdom many existing masonry arch bridges have been subject to alteration and extension in order to continue to contribute to the transportation network. One type of alteration is the introduction of full-height longitudinal brickwork... Read More about The 3-dimensional behaviour of masonry arches with point supports to the intrados.

Application of the self-organizing map (SOM) to assess the heavy metal removal performance in experimental constructed wetlands (2006)
Journal Article

The self-organizing map (SOM) model was applied to elucidate heavy metal removal mechanisms and to predict heavy metal concentrations in experimental constructed wetlands treating urban runoff. A newly developed SOM map showed that nickel in construc...
