208 Appendix B. Site Reports—Europe Site: University of Oxford Department of Materials Parks Road Oxford OX1 3PH, United Kingdom http://www.materials.ox.ac.uk Date Visited: 16 October 1997 WTEC: Hosts: R.W.

Marken BACKGROUND The full day of 16 October from 9:30 to 15:30 was spent at the University of Oxford visiting the Head of the Department of Materials, Prof. Brian Cantor, and various other members of the Department. It was a very
Appendix B. Site Reports—Europe 209 interesting visit, with much to hear about in the area of nanostructure science and technology at this prestigious university. An additional one-hour visit at the end of the day was made to a group of faculty from the Department of Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry and Physical and Theoretical Chemistry Laboratories. Although brief, the visit was quite effective, since it was held in a very informative roundtable format well organized by Prof. Malcolm L.H. Green and Prof. Paul Madden. According to an initial overview of the University of Oxford and its Department of Materials presented by Prof. Cantor, the Department currently consists of about 330 people in total, with 20 academic staff and about 30 support staff, 80 research fellows and visitors, 80 postgraduate students, and the remainder undergraduate students. The Department’s current annual research budget of ~£3 million, comes two-thirds from government and onethird from industry, with about 50% of this focused in nanoscale research activities. The research in general is quite broad-based and includes processing, characterization, and modeling activities in all classes of materials: metals, ceramics, polymers, semiconductors, and composites (see references list). The Department also houses the Materials Modelling Laboratory (Prof. David Pettifor, Director) as well as the Oxford Centre for Advanced Materials and Composites (Dr. Brian Derby, Director). In the important area of nanostructure characterization, the very impressive electron microscopy facilities here are particularly noteworthy, owing in part to the tradition left by Professor Sir Peter Hirsch, as are those in atom-probe field-ion microscopy. A series of visits with individual department staff ensued. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT HIGHLIGHTS Dr. Patrick Grant reviewed the department’s ongoing work in nanocrystalline sprayed coatings. This work utilizes a variety of spray processing methods including the Ospray process, electric-arc spraying, plasma spraying, and ink-jet spraying. He described some examples in more detail. For example, plasma spraying of titanium along with 100 µm diameter SiC fibers yielded multilayered structures with a matrix having a nanoscale substructure, owing to the rather stochastic process of oxide contamination. Work was planned to soon begin on spraying 600 nm diameter Al 2 O 3 particles and 200 nm diameter SiC feedstock, as the research moved more toward the true nanoscale regime. Dr. Amanda Petford-Long then described her work on nanolayered magnetic thin films. The primary focus of the work is on magnetic recording materials at the nanoscale. A significant collaboration is ongoing
