Crystallisation in fluorapatite-fluorphlogopite glass ceramics (2011)
Thesis
Moorehead, R. Crystallisation in fluorapatite-fluorphlogopite glass ceramics. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

Apatite based glass-ceramics are some of the most bioactive materials found to date. They do not require fibrous encapsulation and bond to bone directly through an apatite layer. Apatite based glass-ceramics exhibit relatively poor biaxial flexura... Read More about Crystallisation in fluorapatite-fluorphlogopite glass ceramics.

Crystal structures and phase transitions in the rare earth oxides
Thesis
Atkinson, S. Crystal structures and phase transitions in the rare earth oxides. (Thesis). University of Salford

The lanthanoid sesquioxides exhibit a number of distinct structural phases. Below 2000°C these oxides exist in three crystal systems, namely the A-type hexagonal phase, the B-type monoclinic phase and the C-type cubic phase. With increasing tempera...
