Atomistic computer simulations were performed for the actinide oxides (UO2, PuO2 and MOX) in the temperature range 300 K-2000 K, in order to elucidate the physical and defect properties of these nuclear fuel materials. Parameterised cation-anion Buck... Read More about Atomistic modelling of actinide oxides for nuclear fuel applications.

Flow Chemistry Syntheses of Styrenes, Unsymmetrical Stilbenes and Branched Aldehydes (2012)
Journal Article

Two tandem flow chemistry processes have been developed. A single palladium-catalysed Heck reaction with ethylene gas provides an efficient synthesis for functionalised styrenes. Through further elaboration the catalyst becomes multi-functional and p... Read More about Flow Chemistry Syntheses of Styrenes, Unsymmetrical Stilbenes and Branched Aldehydes.

First Gram-Scale Synthesis of a Heparin-Related Dodecasaccharide (2012)
Journal Article

Despite much effort in the past decades, the C-burning reaction rate is uncertain by several orders of magnitude, and the relative strength between the different channels 12C(12C, α)20Ne, 12C(12C, p)23Na, and 12C(12C, n)23Mg is poorly determined. Add... Read More about THE12C +12C REACTION AND THE IMPACT ON NUCLEOSYNTHESIS IN MASSIVE STARS.

The VMC Survey: VI. Quasars behind the Magellanic system⋆ (2012)
Journal Article

Context. The number and spatial distribution of confirmed quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) behind the Magellanic system is limited. This undermines their use as astrometric reference objects for different types of studies. Aims. We have searched for c... Read More about The VMC Survey: VI. Quasars behind the Magellanic system⋆.
