Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
It is proposed to advance our understanding of a range of amorphous materials and heterogeneous by developing the reverse Monte Carlo modelling method, and using it in conjunction with commercial simulation/visualisation software both to improve the structural models and to predict other structure-dependent, results which may be related to existing or new data. There are two principal strands to the programme: the study of amorphous materials on a atomic scale (1-10A) in order to relate the microscopic structure to macroscopic properties, and the entirely novel exploration of mesoscopic structures (10-1000A) with a view to enhancing our generic understanding of these often complex configurations and to help establish the limitations of SAXS data in materials science. The project will entail considerable software development, particularly that associated with the RMC-based modelling of small angle scattering data but including the detailed interfacing of the RMC output configurations with the simulation/visualisation suite of programs. Although a large body of experimental date of suitable quality already exists, it may prove necessary or desirable to undertake or collaborate in new experimental measurements.
