Friday was a very exciting day for our group as our three Masters students graduated from the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Hall. Adam and Brendan received their MChem’s whilst Jen received her MPhys after four years of hard work. It was also very exciting as this was Lucy’s first graduation experience as an academic. Despite theContinue reading “Graduation Day 2019”

First Group Trip to ILL
This week Kate and Jen performed the groups first experiment on D2B at the Institut Laue-Langevin in Grenoble, France. It was a great (but very hot) experience where we collected some excellent data on barlowite for Kate’s work. We are grateful to our instrument scientist, Dr Clemens Ritter for all his help and explaining howContinue reading “First Group Trip to ILL”
Aly attends the ISIS Neutron Training Course 2019
This June, Aly had the exciting opportunity to join the ISIS neutron training course in which the basic principles of neutron scattering are explored. As a part of the Physics stream, Aly had the chance to perform experiments on multiple ISIS instruments. As most of the delegates were early PhD students, this course provided anContinue reading “Aly attends the ISIS Neutron Training Course 2019”
Kate Visits Université de Lille
Kate visited Lille this week to perform some specific heat measurements with the kind help of Dr Angel Arevalo Lopez. It was great to see the Chemistry department there and to have the opportunity to give a seminar encompassing recently published work on oxalate materials, past work on barlowite and ongoing work on metal organic-frameworkContinue reading “Kate Visits Université de Lille”
Kate and Lucy publish in Inorganic Chemistry!
This week, Kate and Lucy celebrated the publication of their paper entitled “Materialization of a Geometrically Frustrated Magnet in a Hybrid Coordination Framework: A Study of the Iron(II) Oxalate Fluoride Framework, KFe(C2O4)F)”. The work is a continuation of a project that Lucy worked on in Prof Phil Lightfoot’s group at the University of St Andrews,Continue reading “Kate and Lucy publish in Inorganic Chemistry!”
Aly and Lucy attend NMSUM 2019 and Lucy wins BTM Willis Prize
This week, Lucy and Aly attended the Neutron and Muon Science & User Meeting (NMSUM19), which was held at the Warwick conference center in Coventry. The meeting started with a comfortable day dedicated for PhD students in which many interesting talks were presented. As for the main event, parallel sessions, focused on different applications ofContinue reading “Aly and Lucy attend NMSUM 2019 and Lucy wins BTM Willis Prize”
Kate and Aly attend BCA 2019
In April, both Kate and Aly got to attend the BCA spring meeting in Nottingham. On the first day, which is dedicated for early career researchers, Aly gave his first external talk, where he presented a comprehensive experimental and theoretical study on the Mo4+ system BaMo(PO4)2. Aly also got the opportunity to join the YoungContinue reading “Kate and Aly attend BCA 2019”
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”
