Thesis
Pawley, C. The use of in-situ ion-irradiation/TEM techniques to study radiation damage in SiC. (Thesis). University of Salford

SiC is a material currently under consideration to be used in future generations of fission and fusion reactors where it will be subjected to high temperatures and significant fluxes of energetic neutrons. The work reported in this thesis aims to ans... Read More about The use of in-situ ion-irradiation/TEM techniques to study radiation damage in SiC.

Stability of transition metal doped magnesium hydride high-pressure phases (2010)
Thesis
Moser, D. Stability of transition metal doped magnesium hydride high-pressure phases. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

MgH2 is hydrogen dense but normally has a rutile structure, which is too stable with too low a hydrogen diffusion rate for practical applications. At pressures of several GPa a CaF2 structure phase has been predicted for MgH2 . With a small fracti... Read More about Stability of transition metal doped magnesium hydride high-pressure phases.

Thesis
Khalil, R. Ab initio studies of the structural, dynamical and thermodynamical properties of graphitic and hydrogenated graphitic materials and their potential for hydrogen storage. (Thesis). Physics and Materials Research Centre

The study presented in this PhD thesis is related to exploration of the properties of graphitic materials within the frame-work of ab initio methods. Structural and dynamical properties of graphitic materials are evaluated using the ab initio p...
