Superconducting Properties of Titanium alloys (Ti-64 and Ti-6242) for critical current barrels (2016)
Journal Article
Ridgeon, F., Raine, M., Halliday, D., Lakrimi, M., Thomas, A., & Hampshire, D. (2017). Superconducting Properties of Titanium alloys (Ti-64 and Ti-6242) for critical current barrels. IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity, 27(4), Article 4201205. https://doi.org/10.1109/tasc.2016.2645378

We have measured the superconducting properties of the titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V (Ti-64) as-supplied and following two of the heat treatment schedules used for the Nb3Sn strands in the ITER tokamak. The Ti-64 alloy is the standard choice in the superc... Read More about Superconducting Properties of Titanium alloys (Ti-64 and Ti-6242) for critical current barrels.

Crystal structure and cation disorder in bulk Cu2ZnSnS4 using neutron diffraction and X-ray anomalous scattering (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bosson, C., Birch, M., Halliday, D., Knight, K., Tang, C., Kleppe, A., & Hatton, P. (2016, June). Crystal structure and cation disorder in bulk Cu2ZnSnS4 using neutron diffraction and X-ray anomalous scattering. Presented at 2016 IEEE 43rd Photovoltaic Specialists Conference (PVSC), Portland, OR

Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) is a promising material for the absorber layer in sustainable thin film photovoltaic cells, but its best efficiencies are currently limited by low open-circuit voltages, thought to be due to defects such as disorder between the coppe...
