- The first-time stoichiometry deviation in amorphous zirconia has been mechanistically understood, gaining interest from industry to research consequential improvements to the oxidation resistance of advanced alloys through understanding of amorphous grain boundaries. As a result of this work, Westinghouse and Jacobs are sponsoring PhD projects with Middleburgh and new collaborations have formed with other industry partners (including Canadian Nuclear Laboratories) through international collaborative programmes researching nuclear cladding performance: MIDAS (EP/S01702X/1) and the industry sponsored MUZIC consortium. The paper initiated a work package in the UK-India EPSRC project (EP/T016329/1, £1M) for which Middleburgh is primary investigator and work-package leader).
