Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

Description Collaborations with UK and US glass and glass structure researchers 
Organisation Coe College
Country United States 
Sector Academic/University 
PI Contribution The PI (Prof. Bingham) and the former PDRA (Dr. Martin Wilding), in addition to one of Prof. Bingham's other PDRA's (Dr. Shuchi Vaishnav) have all made major contributions - securing Neutron Beam Time through a successful proposal to STFC ISIS led by Prof. Bingham; carrying out the beam time and delivering high quality neutron data on a series of simple glasses containing increasing amounts of CO2, far wider than the range of glasses hitherto studied. The team planned and carried out the experiments, prepared the samples, analysed the data and made major contributions to the writing of the one paper thus far published (Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids 2020) and at least 2 more being written at present.
Collaborator Contribution Collaborators from Coe College (USA) and Johnson Matthey Technology Centre (UK) provided support through provision of some glass samples, participation in the neutron beam time, carrying out experiments and analyses using multiple techniques including solid state MAS-NMR, and major contributions to writing papers including the one now published (Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids, 2020).
Impact One paper published in Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids (2020), at least two more currently being written at present time.
Start Year 2018
