This month Jen had the exciting opportunity to attend the 2021 HERCULES school, which for the first time ever was held completely online. The HERCULES school is a 5 week training course, providing a broad overview of X-ray, neutron and FEL techniques. As well as lectures, there is also an opportunity to perform experiments atContinue reading “Jen Attends the 2021 HERCULES School”

Jacob and Ed’s Masters Project Presentations
Jacob and Ed took part in their interim project presentations along with other masters students in the materials research groups today. This was a great opportunity to both learn more about the other research going on within the other materials groups and to practice giving presentations outside of our group. They had the unique opportunityContinue reading “Jacob and Ed’s Masters Project Presentations”
Sam Attends the Durham Crystallography School
Sam recently attended the 18th BCA/CCG Intensive Teaching School in X-Ray Structure Analysis. The school was run virtually for the first time, and although it was a shame not to meet everyone in person, the course was a great success. Sam in particular benefitted from discussions over modelling disorder and will look to apply whatContinue reading “Sam Attends the Durham Crystallography School”
Ed Sale and Jacob Williams Join the Group
Today we are pleased to welcome the newest additions to our group, MSci students Jacob and Ed. Jacob and Ed will be researching the structural and magnetic complexities of an intriguing spinel, ZnV2O4 alongside Jen. We wish them all the best in their masters projects, and hope they have a great final year, despite theContinue reading “Ed Sale and Jacob Williams Join the Group”
Jen Starts at the ILL
This year has started with an exciting adventure for Jen as she moved to France to begin working at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) in Grenoble! Jen will be joining her co-supervisor, Dr Andrew Wildes in the diffraction group to continue her PhD research over the next 2 years. Happy New Year Everyone!
Lucy’s Paper is Featured in the ISIS Annual Review 2020
Lucy’s work on the triangular-honeycomb antiferromagnet TbInO3 was selected to be part of the ISIS Annual Review 2020! This work, which Lucy began as a post-doc in Prof. Bruce Gaulin’s group at McMaster University, involved a combination of analysis techniques; neutron diffraction on HRPD (ISIS), μSR on MuSR and EMU (ISIS), and inelastic measurements onContinue reading “Lucy’s Paper is Featured in the ISIS Annual Review 2020”
Fika!
Fika is the Swedish way of saying a coffee break. We have been fika-ing for the past few years after Aly joined our group and brought the idea from his old group at Chalmers. In the past, Jen has mainly been responsible for providing the fika treats, however our new members, Sam and Tristan, haveContinue reading “Fika!”
Kate and Aly’s Papers are Published!
Today was a very exciting first for our group – two papers being published on the same day! Kate’s paper has been published in npj Quantum Materials on one of our groups favourite materials, Barlowite! Kate has explored how the dynamics of the magnetic ground state evolve across the Zn-barlowite series by combining muon spinContinue reading “Kate and Aly’s Papers are Published!”
Dr Sam Ivko and Tristan Dolling Join the Group
This week we are very excited to welcome our first ever post-doc, Dr Sam Ivko, and new PhD student, Tristan Dolling to the group! Sam joins us from the University of Sheffield where he has recently completed his PhD, and Tristan joins us from the University of Brighton where he has just completed his MChem.Continue reading “Dr Sam Ivko and Tristan Dolling Join the Group”
Summer Update
This Summer has definitely been a strange one – but also a very successful one for our group. Lucy, Aly and Jen have made the move to Birmingham and are settling in nicely in our new labs before we welcome some new members to our group. We want to say a big thank you toContinue reading “Summer Update”
