The investigation of ceria-related materials has a long history since 1920s. The first publication on web of science traces back to 1928. Ever since that, more studies come out and surge starting from 1987. This material has attracted extensive attention due to its wide applicat…
The Trans-Iron Galactic Element Recorder (TIGER) was launched from Antarctica December of 2001 and flew for 31.8 days aboard a long duration scientific balloon. The objective of the TIGER experiment was to make a measurement of the elemental abundances of the Galactic Cosmic Ray…
Catalytic Methods in Flow Chemistry
The following thesis outlines work carried out during the last three years for the development and investigation of methodologies using amides as N- and O- acylating agents. Chapter 1 highlights the range of methodologies and protocols reported in the literature that use amides …
The present work was produced as part of the MUZIC consortium, a collaboration between a multi-university team from the UK and industrial partners working on the field of nuclear energy, fabrication of alloys and nuclear research. The aim of the project is to establish a multidi…
The corrosion behaviour of zirconium based alloys has been primarily investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). In-situ autoclave EIS experiments were performed in simulated primary coolant conditions in order to study the high temperature water corrosion of z…
Zirconium alloys are widely used by the nuclear industry as fuel cladding and structural materials. Many physical and metallurgical properties of zirconium alloys, that are important for their performance in nuclear reactors, are affected by crystallographic texture due to the s…
This thesis describes an investigation into how the interaction of protons with microstructural features in Zr and Zr alloys may affect the amount of irradiation damage created in proton-irradiated materials compared with neutron-irradiated materials. Three key microstructural f…
