Summary
A High-Throughput Neutron Spectrometer for The Study of Atomic and Molecular Motion at ANSTO. Neutron scattering enables new science across a broad range of disciplines, and for this reason it is undergoing major expansion in the USA, Europe, Japan and Australia. Various diffactometers and spectrometers have recently been built at ANSTO, but an instrumental option for a high-throughput cross-discipline spectroscopy is urgently needed. Fortunately, it is fairly straightforward to add this type of ....A High-Throughput Neutron Spectrometer for The Study of Atomic and Molecular Motion at ANSTO. Neutron scattering enables new science across a broad range of disciplines, and for this reason it is undergoing major expansion in the USA, Europe, Japan and Australia. Various diffactometers and spectrometers have recently been built at ANSTO, but an instrumental option for a high-throughput cross-discipline spectroscopy is urgently needed. Fortunately, it is fairly straightforward to add this type of option to an existing spectrometer that will broaden its user-base from specialised applications in physics to more general applications in physics, chemistry, materials-science and biology. This additional option provides a totally new way for Australian scientists to study atomic and molecular motions. Read moreRead less
Interphase Engineering of Reactive Metal Surfaces Using Ionic Liquids. Corrosion is a multi-billion dollar problem for all developed countries which limits the use of a number of advanced, light weight alloys in applications ranging from aircraft components to artificial hip-joints. The outcomes of this project will be surface treatments which will enable a range of these applications including magnesium alloys in a wider range of engineering uses, magnesium for advanced metal batteries and coat ....Interphase Engineering of Reactive Metal Surfaces Using Ionic Liquids. Corrosion is a multi-billion dollar problem for all developed countries which limits the use of a number of advanced, light weight alloys in applications ranging from aircraft components to artificial hip-joints. The outcomes of this project will be surface treatments which will enable a range of these applications including magnesium alloys in a wider range of engineering uses, magnesium for advanced metal batteries and coatings for medical implant applications. Many of these applications will make a significant contribution to reducing our greenhouse gas emissions.Read moreRead less
