Professor John Dore

  Emeritus Professor of Condensed Matter Physics  

The study of partially-ordered or disordered/molecular systems remains the main theme of current research using neutron or X-ray methods on international facilities in the UK and France. 

Current topics are:-

Study of liquids under negative pressure [collaboration with University of Swansea], especially doubly-metastable water [i.e. negative pressure and below normal nucleation temperature] molecular correlations in hydrogen-bonded systems such as water, i.e. evolution of H-bond networks as a function of temperature nucleation features of ice in various porous silicas, including the ordered mesoscopic MCM type silicas structural properties of water in carbon nanotubes atomic and mesoscopic order in activated carbons, carbon fibres and carbon nanotubes; writing a review with Andrzej Burian [Katowice] for reports on Progress in Physics

Past activities:

Founder member of European Mobility Scheme for Physics Students (EMSPS) i.e. student exchange and transfer in the Socrates/Erasmus scheme.

Founder member of the European Physics Education Network (EUPEN)
