Today was an exciting day for the group as Jen’s first paper was published in Physical Review Materials on the nuclear and magnetic ordering of the honeycomb layered spin glass Mn0.5Fe0.5PS3. This work combines a series of neutron scattering and magnetisation measurements, some of which were collected in Jen’s very first two weeks as aContinue reading “Jen’s First Paper is Published!”

Graduation 2020
Graduation is a bit different this year, but the feeling of celebration is still in the air. We want to wish our Masters student Rory all the best after his hard work over the past year helping Kate with some new characterisation on the Barlowite analogues. Rory has decided to continue with a PhD atContinue reading “Graduation 2020”
Back to the Lab!
Today was an incredibly exciting day as it was the first time in nearly four months that we entered our lab again! Jen and Aly have never been so eager to clean, preparing everything so we can begin our lab work again over the next few days. Hopefully, with reactions back in the furnace thingsContinue reading “Back to the Lab!”
Clark Group moves to Birmingham!
Today, marks a very important day for our group as Lucy moves to the University of Birmingham to take up a senior lectureship position in the School of Chemistry. Aly and Jen have both transferred their studentships to Birmingham, whilst Kate has decided to stay in Liverpool to finish up her PhD. Although this wasn’tContinue reading “Clark Group moves to Birmingham!”
Coronavirus Update
With Coronavirus sending us all home and the University shut, the first job for all of us was to set up a home office. The question is now – who will keep their desk the tidiest? Although we won’t be able to complete any lab work in the upcoming months, we have plenty of dataContinue reading “Coronavirus Update”
Jen Attends the 2020 ISIS Neutron Training Course
This March, Jen attended the ISIS neutron training course, a practical course that gives PhD students the opportunity to get hands-on experience of neutron scattering with ISIS instruments and to meet fellow students just joining the neutron scattering community. As part of the Physics stream, Jen got the opportunity to perform experiments on GEM, INESContinue reading “Jen Attends the 2020 ISIS Neutron Training Course”
Aly’s First Paper is Published!
This year ended on an exciting note for the group as Aly published his first ever paper in Physical Review B explaining the one dimensional behaviour exhibited by the triangular lattice S=1 system, BaMo(PO4)2. In it, a comprehensive study, involving elastic and inelastic neutron scattering, thermodynamic property measurements, and ab initio calculations – performed inContinue reading “Aly’s First Paper is Published!”
First Diamond Experiment
Kate, Aly and Jen undertook a mammoth two week trip to the Harwell campus to complete three back-to-back experiments. First up, was Aly’s experiment on MAPS, where we explored the spin-orbit transitions in his titanium oxolates with the help of Dr Ross Stewart. Then, we moved to the other target station, to complete Kate’s experimentContinue reading “First Diamond Experiment”
Christmas
We joined forces with the Chong Group to celebrate the festive season this year. Like any true work party, this began with a trip to the pub at midday, followed by a delicious meal at Hanover Street Social. We then went bowling at Lane 7, where we are pleased to say that our group wonContinue reading “Christmas”
Jen attends the 2019 Winter Crystallography Meeting
On Monday and Tuesday this week, Jen attended the Winter Crystallography Meeting held at Milton Hill House in Oxfordshire. This meeting is a great opportunity for British crystallographers, both old and young, to get together to talk all thing structure! Jen joined fellow Liverpool researchers from the Rosseinsky group and particularly enjoyed Alice Bumstead’s talkContinue reading “Jen attends the 2019 Winter Crystallography Meeting”
