The Royce: Capitalising on the investment
Lead Research Organisation:
University of Manchester
Department Name: Materials
Abstract
The Royce works across the range of technology readiness levels (TRLs 1-5). With its hub at The University of Manchester, the Institute has spokes at six partner universities of Sheffield, Leeds, Liverpool, Cambridge, Oxford and Imperial College London, as well as at the UK Atomic Energy Authority and National Nuclear Laboratory. This project aims to capitalise on the original Royce investment through a distributed team of business and research development managers. This resource will drive participation and impact by facilitating a range of activities including community engagement, facilities access and industry training. This project will provide Partners with the resources to establish community-driven networks to ensure that the Royce is aware of, responds to, and serves the needs of these communities.
As leaders in their respective core areas, Partners are well placed to exploit their Royce facilities for world-class research through standard research grant and industrial funding mechanisms. The Royce was however established to change the research landscape by fostering new levels of collaboration so as to spread the benefits of the Royce far beyond the recipients of the capital investment. To do this a coordinated approach is required to move away from the ownership of specific kit by individual academics to the concept of integrated 'research supply chains'. These will link together the necessary modelling, fabrication, testing, analysis, and demonstration facilities needed to deliver prototype materials, devices and systems. This integrated 'research supply chain' approach is well suited to challenge-led investments aimed at delivering targeted research outcomes in the UK. For this approach to work in practice, dedicated staff are required who are able to bring together the relevant communities to identify opportunities that should be prioritised and the mechanisms required to link together these facilities. At a more problem-focused level, the intention is to establish a clear 'front door' to Royce to enable industrial partners, ranging from Small and Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs) to large corporations, to engage with the Institute through direct engagement on a project-by-project basis to solve specific problems.
It is also the Royce's ambition to help develop a new generation of highly skilled researchers in advanced materials. To complement our existing plans for PhD/CDT training, here we focus on supporting industry with uptake of new materials, technologies, methods and analysis/modelling techniques. Working with professional bodies and other partners, we plan to set up a series of training activities, workshops, sandpits, awareness meetings and lectures to ensure that UK industry can assess, try out and become proficient in emerging techniques and methods.

Planned Impact
The Royce provides an opportunity to make a step change in the way materials science research is done in the UK, however the capital investment is not sufficient in itself. For the benefits of the facilities to be felt beyond the Partners, and if we are to create a more joined-up materials community, we require staffing resource who can make the total greater than the sum of the parts. This team will complement the scientific leadership from the academic champions in engaging with, and receiving input from, the wider community.

Description | The Henry Royce Institute was established to develop and capitalise on the UK's world-leading excellence in advanced materials research. Through investment in infrastructure at key locations across the UK, the Royce now provides access to a wide range of state-of-the art capabilities across the UK with its hub in Manchester. This joined-up system enables the greatest accessibility for our users who span academia, research technology organisations and industry. We have implemented efficient access models that ensure a range of activities can be effectively supported - from simple contract work on a single piece of kit through to complex projects conducted on facilities located across a number of sites. Our multidisciplinary capabilities draw on the world-leading expertise from across the Royce Partners and includes both new equipment funded through the original investment, and existing equipment that was incorporated into Royce by Partners and has been enhanced or extended through the Royce funding. Together this equipment when fully commissioned and operational will represent >£200m of state-of-the-art, open-access research facilities, of which >200 major pieces of kit or suites have already been established as user facilities. The Royce maintains an online catalogue of our facilities portfolio which is simple for users to explore through searching or filtering by equipment or technique type, research area or category of application and location. All facilities have been TRAC-listed with, (i) FEC charge-out rates available to HEIs users for inclusion on research grants as direct costs, and (ii) commercial rates for industrial users. Our funding through 2022/23 has allowed Royce to extend its remit to include further activities related to • national foresighting in advanced materials - delivered through a set of published technical roadmaps • technology translation - delivered through both skills training and support to short, sprint projects in collaboration with industry tackling challenges identified through our roadmapping activities • outreach and training activities delivered online and in person alongside a clear outreach brand in ' Discover Materials' |

Description | The Henry Royce Institute's mission is to support and grow world-recognised research, accelerating commercial exploitation and delivering positive economic and societal impact for the UK. This is achieved through: 1) Enabling national materials research fore-sighting, collaboration and strategy; 2) Providing access to the latest facilities and capability; 3) Catalysing industrial collaboration and exploitation of materials research; 4) Fostering materials science skills development, innovation training and outreach. Examples of non-academic impacts to date in these areas include: • Supporting SMEs through providing them with access to Royce expertise and/or facilities at a reduced rate or free of charge. The SME Equipment Access Scheme supports SMEs in reducing the cost barrier of exploratory projects and in helping to grow confidence for future collaborations. SMEs can benefit from equipment access, technical support and relevant consultancy services in solving a defined challenge statement at any Royce Partner. • Developing skills of materials researchers and transferring these to industry, as well as upskilling industry workers through events and training related to the Royce facilities and expertise. • Exhibiting at national outreach events to share knowledge and to engage children, young adults and the wider public in general with Materials Science. Engaging with schools across the UK through summer schools and providing online materials and fact sheets for Materials Science related activities. |

Geographic Reach | National |
Policy Influence Type | Contribution to a national consultation/review |
Impact | In response to the Committee on Climate Change's 2019 "Net Zero" Report, the Henry Royce Institute Partners at the Universities of Cambridge, Imperial, Leeds and Manchester, in collaboration with the Institute of Physics, engaged with over 220 participants from academic and industrial materials research communities to explore solutions to the grand challenge of "Materials for the Energy Transition." Through roadmapping workshops and associated community-led activities, energy technologies were identified where materials research can make a significant impact on greenhouse gas emissions. The following four areas were identified where materials science is critical to enabling a step-change in greenhouse gas reduction: (1) Materials for photovoltaic systems, (2) Materials for low-carbon methods of hydrogen generation, (3) Materials for decarbonisation of heating and cooling (split into thermoelectric and caloric energy conversion materials) and (4) Materials for low-loss electronics. Outcomes of these roadmapping exercises were (1) an executive summary report highlighting the main findings of the four roadmapping activities, and (2) five materials development roadmaps towards achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 were published in September 2020. All documents were made publicly available free of charge for research communities, the public, funding bodies, government, policy-makers and industry leaders. Influence: (1) Roadmaps have been cited in academic journals, influencing research communities towards mission-driven activities (2) roadmaps have begun to influence position papers and policy documents for organisations to inform government, (3) roadmaps have influenced funding bodies to shape future funding opportunities in the "Materials for the Energy Transition" research space (4) EPSRC have requested Royce to facilitate creation of further roadmapping activities towards zero-carbon goals and sustainable UK manufacturing, beginning in 2021. |

In project multi-sample_1, AZtec reported a saving error when scanning the fifth sample and stopped with 5646 frames saved (.oip~4GB). It is able to montage and export the maps, but any edit on the .oip file cannot be saved. In project multi-sample_2, we restarted the scan on the rest of the samples and completed with 5601 frames. The .oip is 3.97GB, which almost reaches the size limit. No error was reported during the scanning, and the .oip file is still editable. |

Title | Data in support of "Design and Selection of High Entropy Alloys for Hardmetal Matrix Applications using a Coupled Machine Learning and CALPHAD Methodology" |
Description | Abstract: This study aimed to utilise a combined Machine Learning (ML) and CALculations of PHAse Diagrams (CALPHAD) methodology to design hardmetal matrix phases for metal forming applications that could serve as the basis for carbide reinforcement. The vast compositional space that High Entropy Alloys (HEAs) occupy, offers a promising avenue to satisfy the application design criteria of wear resistance and ductility. To efficiently explore this space, random forest ML models are constructed and trained from publicly available experimental HEA databases to make phase constitution and hardness predictions. Interrogation of the ML models constructed revealed accuracies > 78.7% and mean absolute error of 66.1 HV for phase and hardness predictions. Six promising alloy compositions, extracted from the ML predictions and CALPHAD calculations, were experimentally fabricated and tested. The hardness predictions are found to be systematically under and over predicted depending on the alloy microstructure. In parallel, the phase classification models were found to lack sensitivity towards additional intermetallic phase formation. Despite the discrepancies identified between ML and experimental results, the fabricated compositions showed promise for further experimental evaluation. These discrepancies were believed to be directly associated with the available databases but importantly have highlighted several avenues for both ML and database development. |

Title | Dataset for paper entitled, 'Isomorphic grain inoculation in Ti-6Al-4V during additive manufacturing' |
Description | Dataset for paper entitled, 'Isomorphic grain inoculation in Ti-6Al-4V during additive manufacturing'. Abstract: The potential for using isomorphic inoculation (ISI) to grain refine titanium alloys in additive manufacturing was investigated by adding TiAlNb particles to Ti-64 during building test samples. A surviving particle was identified and its crystallographic relationship with the matrix studied by transmission Kikuchi diffraction. The particle and bulk matrix grain were shown to have the same crystallographic orientation, demonstrating that the ISI mechanism of solidification bypasses the nucleation step in favour of direct epitaxial growth.

Title | Dataset for paper entitled, 'The potential for grain refinement of Wire-Arc Additive Manufactured (WAAM) Ti-6Al-4V by ZrN and TiN inoculation' |
Description | Dataset for paper entitled, 'The potential for grain refinement of Wire-Arc Additive Manufactured (WAAM) Ti-6Al-4V by ZrN and TiN inoculation'. Abstract: Wire-Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) of large near-net-shape titanium components has the potential to reduce costs and lead-time in many industrial sectors including aerospace. However, with titanium alloys, such as Ti-6Al-4V, standard WAAM processing conditions result in solidification microstructures comprising large cm- scale, <001> fibre textured, columnar ß grains, which are detrimental to mechanical performance. In order to reduce the size of the solidified ß-grains, as well as refine their columnar morphology and randomise their texture, two cubic nitride phases, TiN and ZrN were investigated as potential grain refining inoculants. To avoid the cost of manufacturing new wire, experimental trials were performed using powder adhered to the surface of the deposited tracks. With TiN particle additions, the ß grain size was successfully reduced and modified from columnar to equiaxed grains, with an average size of 300 µm, while ZrN powder was shown to be ineffective at low addition levels studied. Clusters of TiN particles were found to be responsible for nucleating multiple ß Ti grains. By utilizing the Burgers orientation relationship, EBSD investigation showed that a Kurdjumov-Sachs orientation relationship could be demonstrated between the refined primary ß grains and TiN particles.

Title | Phase stability of V- based multi-principal element alloys |
Description | The success of fusion power requires alloys with good mechanical properties and the ability to withstand extreme thermal and irradiation conditions without prohibitive levels of activation or structural degradation. Body-centred cubic multi-principal component alloys, V-Cr-Mn and Ti-V-Cr-Mn have shown promising high-temperature stability at 1200°C. For the alloys to be suitable for use in nuclear fusion reactors, they must be stable across a wide range of temperatures relevant to fusion applications. Here, we assess alloy microstructural stability in these systems following long-term heat treatments at various temperatures. Encouragingly, most of the alloys showed no significant change in microstructure across all temperatures. This contrasts with many other multi-principal component alloys, which develop complex microstructures after exposure to intermediate temperatures. |

Title | Supplementary information files for Fast in-situ synchrotron X-ray imaging of the interfacial reaction during self-propagating exothermic reactive bonding |
Description | Supplementary files for article Fast in-situ synchrotron X-ray imaging of the interfacial reaction during self-propagating exothermic reactive bonding Self-Propagating Exothermic Reactive (SPER) bonding with lead-free solders is potentially attractive for microelectronics assembly due to its highly localised heating and minimal thermal loading of the components and substrates. The transient dynamics of melting, wetting, solidification and defect formation during SPER bonding were observed using in-situ synchrotron X-ray imaging with sub-millisecond temporal resolution and the results were further analysed using electron microscopy and thermal modelling. In-situ imaging revealed the preferential melting of the solder and subsequent wetting of the substrate. Numerous air bubbles were observed to form at the bonding interface. The distribution of these bubbles was found to vary with the thermal conductivity and wettability of the substrates. These bubbles appear to reduce the effectiveness of bonding by promoting the formation of cracks and voids within the solder joint. Our results show that metallisation layers on the bonding substrate can influence the dynamics of melting for the solder materials and thereby directly influence the reliability of SPER interconnects. |

PI Contribution | Through Advanced Fuel Cycle Programme (AFCP) backing, Royce Partner the UK National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL) has taken academic access to the next level. In successfully trialling a new approach while overcoming COVID-19 challenges, NNL has secured opportunities for next-generation nuclear experts to tap into the UK's top infrastructure and complete meaningful clean energy research. Following the AFCP's first user access call last summer, the programme has selected six projects to begin work on the scheme. The call offers the winning academics access to grant-funded equipment at the UK National Nuclear Laboratory's (NNL) world-class facilities, with all costs met by NNL and its funding partners, including the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). The equipment, funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), Royce and National Nuclear User Facility (NNUF), will enable academics to complete strategically important research aligned with AFCP. |
Collaborator Contribution | In successfully navigating and implementing this scheme - especially against the ongoing challenges of COVID-19 - NNL has pioneered a proactive, adaptive approach to user access that will inspire the lab's future collaborative efforts. As a national laboratory, NNL strives to deliver world-leading science that addresses global challenges, from climate change through to nuclear medicine. Collaborating with university partners - and providing opportunities for them to benefit from NNL's unique facilities and equipment - is essential to this aim. For the past five years, the NNL user access team has arranged academic access to the lab. However, NNL's leadership role within AFCP has marked a step change to make this call possible - becoming one of the team's most significant initiatives to date. This user access call was NNL's response to unique academic needs, including resource availability and timescales, that can make accessing facilities difficult. After examining best practice across industry, NNL arranged a fully funded call through AFCP that, prior to launching, could proactively address common academic obstacles. |
Impact | The call has presented an invaluable opportunity to keep the UK at the forefront of advanced fuel cycle research, skills and infrastructure. With BEIS and AFCP as central members of the call, the scheme supports key research areas to help decarbonise the UK economy as part of the UK Government's Clean Growth Strategy. Given the call's collaborative model, the stakeholders involved were also able to maximise benefits for all participants while uniquely addressing many of the common obstacles that academic users have previously faced. While NNL planned the call well before the impact of COVID-19 was understood, its timing introduced important safety considerations to the scheme. Although the pandemic did not affect details of the call process itself, NNL had to swiftly adapt to the situation and continue to set safety as its top priority. NNL has undertaken a robust risk assessment process with continuous review to ensure it performs all work safely and to the satisfaction of everyone involved. One option to maintain research momentum is remote access, where academics can send their samples and instructions to NNL for the lab to complete work on their behalf. This approach works well while necessary due to travel restrictions and limitations on the number of individuals working in labs. However, to maximise benefits to both academics and NNL, the team is committed to providing opportunities for physical access as part of the call once this can be done safely. NNL aspires to improve the process by exploring innovative ideas to improve the future remote user experience. The call has been immensely successful beyond its behind-the-scenes operations. NNL received a total of sixteen highly competitive applications from universities across the UK. The depth and breadth of submissions demonstrated the high calibre of commitment, enthusiasm and value across academic teams, which together paint an encouraging picture of the UK's advanced fuel cycle research landscape. |

Organisation | FFEI |
Country | United Kingdom |
Sector | Private |
PI Contribution | The University of Manchester is a pioneer in the field of cell printing and has been working in the field for over 10 years with EPSRC funding supporting Ph.D. studentships, A Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship(Dr. R.E. Saunders), EPSRC grant support with the most recent to Derby being EP/L012022/1 and BBSRC support e.g. BB/N01250X/1. It has also featured in the Doctoral Training Programme in Regenerative Medicine and is an important component of the Henry Royce Institute Biomaterials Theme EP/P025021/1 and EP/R00661X/1. Manchester has considerable experience in printing a range of cells and exploring the physical science aspects of the process, e.g. influence of shear flow and acoustic effects on cell viability, and machine and process development to optimise viability. The integration of cell printing with high throughput analysis remains unexplored commercially. The proposed project will exploit the several years of experience accumulated in Manchester on successful cell deposition, placement, patterning for applications in tissue engineering, medical engineering and organ-on-a-chip technology. This will provide basic understanding for the integration of a bioprinter with the imaging technology skills of the industrial partner. |
Collaborator Contribution | FFEI has significant, existing commercial expertise in digital scanning for whole-slide imaging in pathology and manufacturing of digital inkjet engines. This project will investigate, for the first time, combining high throughput cell printing (Manchester) and high-throughput scanning analysis techniques (FFEI) for application to drug discovery, tissue engineering and medical diagnostics.High-throughput printing of cells and biological material into discrete formations, followed by highly variable over-printing and simultaneous digital analysis, offers an all-in-one solution that is currentlynot available. This presents opportunity for FFEI to integrate and manufacture project outputs to approach new markets. The IAA proof of concept data produced will lead to a future novel and commercially viable life science device that can be developed further by FFEI. |

Title | Code for "Design and Selection of High Entropy Alloys for Hardmetal Matrix Applications using a Coupled Machine Learning and CALPHAD Methodology" |
Description | Abstract: This study aimed to utilise a combined Machine Learning (ML) and CALculations of PHAse Diagrams (CALPHAD) methodology to design hardmetal matrix phases for metal forming applications that could serve as the basis for carbide reinforcement. The vast compositional space that High Entropy Alloys (HEAs) occupy, offers a promising avenue to satisfy the application design criteria of wear resistance and ductility. To efficiently explore this space, random forest ML models are constructed and trained from publicly available experimental HEA databases to make phase constitution and hardness predictions. Interrogation of the ML models constructed revealed accuracies > 78.7% and mean absolute error of 66.1 HV for phase and hardness predictions. Six promising alloy compositions, extracted from the ML predictions and CALPHAD calculations, were experimentally fabricated and tested. The hardness predictions are found to be systematically under and over predicted depending on the alloy microstructure. In parallel, the phase classification models were found to lack sensitivity towards additional intermetallic phase formation. Despite the discrepancies identified between ML and experimental results, the fabricated compositions showed promise for further experimental evaluation. These discrepancies were believed to be directly associated with the available databases but importantly have highlighted several avenues for both ML and database development. |

Featuring thirteen of the UK's leading experts from academia and industry, the talks explored the application of advanced X-ray techniques and beyond in the characterisation of the next generation of lithium- and sodium-ion battery materials. Speakers from Malvern Panalytical discussed the latest characterisation techniques, including operando XRD analysis of lithium-ion battery cathodes, laser diffraction, and rheometry. They also presented their Morphologi-4 instrument and its applications for battery materials. Academics from Oxford, Birmingham, Lancaster, and the Diamond Light Source joined researchers from Sheffield to complete the day's programme. Delegates attended from a broad variety of industrial sectors including automotive, energy, and chemicals, as well as from fourteen different academic institutions. Dr Eddie Cussen, Reader at the University of Sheffield said "I thought it was a really excellent day. The talks were highly relevant, and nicely pitched to be accessible to the general audience. Many of my group attended and it gave them an excellent picture of the diverse range of techniques and expertise that is being brought to bear on energy materials to build the next generation of devices." Dr Robert Taylor, from Malvern Panalytical, said the workshop was "a very well attended seminar with a broad range of engaging topics covering battery materials, their characterisation, application and production. The location and facilities were excellent and the day was well organised too. This is one of the most important scientific topics of our time with profound environmental consequences for us all." Guest speaker Dr Nuria Tapia-Ruiz said it was an "excellent workshop filled with insightful talks and discussions on advanced battery characterisation methods". Organiser Dr Nik Reeves-McLaren, a Research Fellow at the University of Sheffield, added that "it was an honour to host the community, and show off the Royce Discovery Centre's new Malvern Panalytical Empyrean X-ray diffractometer and give a taste of its exciting operando electrochemistry capabilities. This really puts Sheffield on the map and we are open for business - I look forward to working with partners from academia and industry to help solve their energy storage materials issues!" |

Results and Impact | Around 30 academics from various institutions met to review the existing research capabilities offered by the Henry Royce Institute, to explore how these may support the work of the Advanced Metal Processing community to continue to influence and support industry. The ideas that were generated provide possibly inspiration for future project work. The day also highlighted the need for the community to find ways of influencing industry to make use of the capabilities of this community and Royce Institute. If the community wants to take a more pro-active approach with industry then there will need to be more specialist input about persuading industrial leaders to consider making changes to existing practices and to embrace the opportunities that could be explored under the broad headings of Green Metals, Metals 4.0 and other options. The broad scope of the Industrial Strategy Grand Challenges offer potential for this community to become involved in interdisciplinary collaborative projects. |

Results and Impact | From its inception in 2006, Sci Foo has always been hosted at Google's famed headquarters: the Googleplex. However, for this year's event, a larger Google venue - the secretive "X" (formerly "Google X") - played host to more than 300 attendees, who made up the largest invite list in Sci Foo's history. The halls of X, home of many ambitious "moonshots" like self-driving cars and Internet balloons, served as an inspiring backdrop for Sci Foo attendees. Sci Foo is not your traditional scientific conference. The schedule, which is sprinkled with keynotes, lightning talks, and meal times, is otherwise open to be filled up with "unconference" sessions that the attendees themselves organize and run. Attendees are free to rove from session-to-session, and choose whichever ones grab their curiosity. Unconference sessions are by their nature unconstrained and may take the form of discussions, debates, or lectures. But the most successful and exciting sessions are always the ones that demand interactivity, and active participation from attendees of diverse backgrounds. |

Results and Impact | The Henry Royce Materials Science Summer School is a 4-day residential summer school held in July each year. It offers places to around 25 year 10 students (aged 14-15), and aims to introduce materials science and engineering to them, as well as give them a taste of university life. Day-time activities include a mixture of lectures, interactive labs, and tours. For instance, tours of a Jaguar Land Rover manufacturing facility and the National Graphene Institute have been arranged for every year. In 2019, day-time activities also included a session on equality, diversity and inclusivity in science - this was entitled "The Winning Mindset" and was delivered by Polkadot Consultants Ltd. The Henry Royce Institute supports the summer school by providing funding as well as assistance with advertising and some delivery of content. The funding, which amounts to around 50% of the summer school costs, has enabled us to dramatically reduce the cost of attending the summer school, as well as provide more bursaries for disadvantaged students. For each summer school, we have provided some students (x7 in 2017, x10 in 2018, x12 in 2019) with a bursary owing to their disadvantaged background (this reduced the total cost to a £25 deposit). None of these students had family members who attended university. Feedback from students has been very positive. Over the three years we've run the programme, 90% of attendees have rated it overall as either "good" or "excellent". Over 80% of students said it has increased their interest in attending university, and 75% said it had increased their interest in studying materials science. |

Results and Impact | The Royce Institute Hub Building hosted the First UK Workshop on High-Entropy Materials on Friday 9th September 2022. The workshop aimed to (i) identify and establish a UK community on high-entropy materials, (ii) create an inclusive forum for sharing ideas, (iii) enable greater networking and formation of new partnerships, especially between industry and academia, and (iv) highlight areas of challenge and opportunity in the field. The day comprised a mixture of short 10-minute talks from academics and industry, complemented by 2-minute 'elevator pitches' from early-career researchers (PDRAs and PhDs). Those submitting abstracts for 10-minute talks were asked to focus on one of three areas: (i) challenges, (ii) opportunities, or (iii) new ideas and methods of interest to the whole community. In total, over 40 people attended in-person, with a further 40 participating via Zoom (the hybrid format was very successful). x14 different UK universities were represented, alongside participants from x5 companies and representatives from STFC and a Catapult. There were also a few international participants online (although the principal focus was the UK community). Presentations covered a range of topics, including: high-throughput manufacture and screening of alloys, opportunities associated with functional high-entropy nanomaterials, and the challenges presented by sustainability considerations. Discussions were both lively and fruitful (regularly having to be cut short owing to time), and highlighted a number of opportunities for concerted action, including: better standardisation of data reported for new high-entropy materials (to allow for better comparisons), and the need for improved thermodynamic data. Further focussed discussions are already being planned between academics and industry, in anticipation of applying for UKRI funding. Prizes for the best elevator pitches were sponsored by two industry partners - Qinetiq and Metalysis Ltd. The workshop was organised by Ed Pickering (Manchester, AMP RAL), Kathy Christofidou (Sheffield, AMP TPL) and Nick Jones (Cambridge), with assistance from the Royce Hub team. |

Results and Impact | The NEA Expert Group on Innovative Structural Materials (EGISM) organised a workshop together with the Spanish Center for Energy, Environmental and Technological Research (CIEMAT) on the development, potential uses, opportunities and limitations of high entropy alloys for nuclear applications. Held virtually on 19-21 October 2021, the event attracted 120 participants from 11 countries who exchanged the latest developments and innovations in the field of high entropy materials and complex concentrated alloys. The workshop opened with an overview on research and development initiatives in this field with perspectives from the People's Republic of China, the European Union and the United States. The discussions then addressed numerical design and computational approaches to develop high entropy alloys, as well as fabrication and manufacturing and microstructures and mechanical properties of high entropy alloys. Irradiation resistance of high entropy alloys and their compatibility with corrosive environments were also explored. Participants agreed on the importance of collaboration at the international level to support the acceleration of high entropy materials development for use in the nuclear industry. A broad consensus was also expressed on the need to accumulate both theoretical and experimental data on the behaviour of these materials in conditions that simulate nuclear reactor conditions. Considering the broad variety of systems included in this class of materials, efforts will be also needed to collect and systematise data in a consistent way as they are produced - especially considering the fact that research in this field heavily involves the use of machine learning techniques for both material design and material modelling purposes. What do you consider was the most significant outcome/impact of this activity? |

Results and Impact | On 25th May, Royce Cambridge in Partnership with the Institute of Physics (IOP) held a webinar on the subject of stabilizing organic transistors in water for bioelectronic applications. Organic bioelectronics is an emerging field - whereby organic materials seem ideal candidates for bioelectronics due to their softness, biocompatibility, stretchability, and their ability to conduct both electrons and ions. Dr Dimitrios Simatos outlined important research which used an additives-based approach to stabilize Organic Field E?ect Transistor (OFETs) immersed in Deionized (DI) water and saline solution, for periods up to a month, making the first high-performance water-stable OFETs reported in the literature. Dr Simatos received his PhD degree in Physics from the University of Cambridge, in 2022 and is currently a post-doctoral research associate at the University. His current research interests include wearables, implantable electronics, and the integration of organic and inorganic materials within the same device (hybrid systems). |

Primary Audience | Professional Practitioners |
Results and Impact | The International Conference on High-Performance Ceramics (CICC) series is sponsored by the Chinese Ceramic Society and aims at providing an international forum for presentation, discussion and review of the latest advances in science and technology of high-performance ceramics. During the past years, the CICC series has developed to be the largest international conference on ceramics held in China and also an important international ceramic conference in Asia. Since 1998 when the first conference, CICC-1, was held in Beijing, CICC series attracted more and more scholars and graduate students to join together and exchange information in all areas related to the recent development in the field of high-performance ceramics. This year, there were about 1500 attendees working at universities, institutions and companies to attend this conference. More than 750 talks were given. The conference started with some very interesting Plenary Lectures, such as, cold sintering of electroceramic materials, devices and novel nanocomposites, designing the processing of advanced ceramic composites to yield the required properties, the roles of electrons in nominally ionic ceramics and so on. The most interesting presentation for me is given by one of the most famous experts, Prof. Jeff Snyder, from Northwestern University. His citations are more than 40000. In this talk, he proposed that the influence of micro/nanostructure on thermal conductivity is a topic of great scientific interest and of particular technological importance to thermoelectrics. The current understanding is that structural defects primarily decrease thermal conductivity through phonon scattering where the phonon speed is fixed. All boundaries, whether interfaces between two materials or even grain boundaries are thought to scatter heat carrying phonons perfectly randomly. In this frequency-independent model, phonons simply cannot travel coherently across a boundary and that all boundaries are the same which is clearly unphysical for low angle grain boundaries. He discussed his analysis of phonon scattering that controls the thermal conductivity of many common thermoelectric materials. He found that the grain boundary dislocation strain model could substitute for the frequency- independent model. More importantly, the two models can be distinguished at low temperature in fine-grained materials such that experimental evidence supports the grain boundary dislocation strain model. In this way, he suggested that grain boundaries themselves are best conceptualized as a collection of dislocations. In fact, a major contribution to the reduction in thermal conductivity, and the resulting improvement in thermoelectric figure of merit (zT>2), in high efficiency Na-doped PbTe can be attributed to this internal-strain induced lattice softening effect. His talk really presents new avenues to control lattice thermal conductivity, beyond phonon scattering, with microstructural defects and internal-strain. This conference provides me a good chance to learn from the famous experts from various ceramic based research fields and an opportunity to establish some potential collaborations with other Chinese Researchers. It broadened my horizons and enlarged my understanding of ceramic based materials. Interest for Royce@Sheffield team: Prof. Qiuyun Fu and Prof. Ruzong Zuo are interest about the slot die. They are famous experts in Electronic Ceramics. They would like to know more details about the slot die and how to make uniform thin ceramic layers. They are both happy to establish collaborations with us in the future. |

Geographic Reach | International |
Primary Audience | Other audiences |
Results and Impact | This event was aimed at materials science researchers (from any discipline) who collect, store, analyse and share experimental data associated with their samples: e.g., optical images, SEM images, property measurements, etc. The workshop shared examples of best practice and current initiatives in the area, and began to formulate a list of actions to enable better data management practices. Changing data management and sharing culture requires the involvement of everyone in the community. Accordingly, the meeting was open to all, at all stages of their career, from all institutions and backgrounds. All discussions were moderated to ensure that everyone had the opportunity to contribute (as time permitted), and that no group of individuals dominated the discussion. We were particularly seeking contributions from those who have not previously been involved in shaping policy in this area. The workshop format was based around discussions of questions, which were stimulated by short talks from speakers. |
