Kate and Aly attend the Oxford Symposium on Magnetism in Metal-Organic Frameworks

This March, Kate and Aly attended the Oxford Symposium on Magnetism in Metal-Organic Frameworks, a one-day symposium in which magnetic studies on metal-organic and hybrid-coordination framework materials are presented. Aly got the opportunity to present a poster on the magnetic properties of the diamond and square lattice antiferromagnet pseudo-polymorphs of KTi(C2O4)2. Kate also presented aContinue reading “Kate and Aly attend the Oxford Symposium on Magnetism in Metal-Organic Frameworks”

Aly Takes Part in the 2019 Horace and SpinW Workshop

Neutron spectroscopy is an essential tool in identifying many of the exotic properties emerging within quantum magnets. Two of the of the most commonly used software for manipulating and analysing inelastic neutron scattering data are Horace and SpinW. As such, Aly attended the Horace and SpinW workshop which was held at the ISIS Neutron andContinue reading “Aly Takes Part in the 2019 Horace and SpinW Workshop”

Lucy’s Paper is Published in Nature Physics

2019 begin with some exciting news for the group with a publication in Nature Physics on Lucy’s recent work on the two-dimensional spin liquid behaviour in the rare-earth magnet, TbInO3. The study – which involved an international collaboration with the groups of Prof Bruce Gaulin at McMaster University and Prof Sang-Wook Cheong at Rutgers UniversityContinue reading “Lucy’s Paper is Published in Nature Physics”

Kate’s Paper on Barlowite is Published

This month ended with a very important milestone for the group! Kate’s first paper on the nuclear and magnetic structures of the quantum kagome antiferromagnet mineral, Cu4(OH)6FBr, known as barlowite was published as a Rapid Communication in the American Physical Society journal, Physical Review Materials. Barlowite is one of the hottest topics in highly frustratedContinue reading “Kate’s Paper on Barlowite is Published”

Kate Attends the RSC Materials Chemistry Poster Symposium

On Friday, Kate attended the RSC Materials Chemistry Division Poster Symposium which is an opportunity for scientists early in their career to present their work to researchers in academia and industry. The day entailed flash presentations followed by posters from students’ research on a broad range of materials chemistry, from magnetocaloric frameworks to sulphur polymers.Continue reading “Kate Attends the RSC Materials Chemistry Poster Symposium”

Kate and Aly Attend the 2018 ISIS Student Meeting

Aly and Kate attended the ISIS Student Meeting this week, which was held in Milton Hill House in Oxfordshire. The meeting is a fantastic opportunity for neutron and muon users to present in a relaxed environment amongst fellow PhD students.  Kate gave her first external talk here, where she presented her muon spectroscopy and neutronContinue reading “Kate and Aly Attend the 2018 ISIS Student Meeting”

Kate and Aly Attend the ILL & ESS User Meeting

The beginning of this week marked the exciting trip to Grenoble, France, where Kate and Aly flew to attend the ILL & ESS European User Meeting. During their time there, Kate presented a poster showcasing her muon spectroscopy data on zinc doped barlowite, and Aly summed up an extensive experimental study on an antiferromagnetic anhydrousContinue reading “Kate and Aly Attend the ILL & ESS User Meeting”
