Its tricky to do. There is a process called Rietveld refinement that can help separate patterns. Programs like Topas are also quite good at doing this. You may have to rely on minor peaks if your reference pattern is in the same Laue pattern as your data. If the 1956 book is by Cullity, its...

These look great tbh. The transparent internal wall of the spheres is a really useful feature

I am a corrosion engineer and I am trying to model localised corrosion, where saturated (dense) salt solutions flow over less dense solutions. I am aware of the Rayleigh-Benard convection model, where hot water rises and cool water sinks (e.g. boiling water on a hob). Is there a well known...

Thanks for the ideas. I'm staying in the same department so I have to be sufficiently different from my professors. You saying that reminded me of some plenary talks I've heard recently.

I am starting a postdoc in Materials, and have spoken to a head of school about a planning for a 5 year fellowship after that will lead onto a lecturing role. Problem is, now I have to work out what I am going to be an expert in. How did you guys get your ideas for research interests? Was it...

THANKS MATE

Thanks to everyone that has responded so far I'm in metallurgy, and this isn't the case in my group, sadly. the past 5 students have had perhaps a common theme (as broad as using the same alloy in all experiments) and have cobbled together the thesis under very broad titles. The last title was...

Hi, I am writing up my PhD thesis in the UK (Uni of Birmingham) and getting absolutely no guidance from my supervisor or the grad school about plagiarism. I'm being passed from pillar to post as no one wants to give an opinion so I thought I would ask here. How much of my papers that I have...

Homework Statement What equation is needed to calculate the height of a spherical cap with a fixed volume and radius? Homework Equations V=πh/6 (3a^2 + h^2) Where V = volume, h is cap height, a is cap radius The Attempt at a Solution I have tried to separate the h out and got as far as...

I have an B.Eng in Materials Science and am currently doing a PhD in materials, so I have come across loads of people doing loads of different things, Metallurgist I have met work on (for example): * Alloying making in bulk alloys like steel and aluminium * Ni-based super alloys for...

It's a good uni w.r.t status, but it depends if you are interested in the specific topics you study. www.go8.edu.au lists the more prestigious universities

I don't know which country you are in, but in the UK they have degrees called EngD - engineering doctorate. They are industry-led and work on specific project within engineering. Many Russell group universities are affiliated with EngD programs, so it really depends on which type of project you...

Cryptography is pretty interesting.

Pretty much.
