The ISIS Student Meeting is an annual event which brings together students who use neutrons and muons in their PhD research, and this year was particularly exciting as it was the first ever meeting attended by the whole group. Each member presented work in a flash presentation and poster; Aly and Kate presented their workContinue reading “Kate, Aly and Jen attend the ISIS Student Meeting 2019”

Aly and Kate attend the 16th Oxford School on Neutron Scattering
Aly and Kate spent the first half of September at the Oxford Neutron School, which is biennial event that brings together PhD students from across the world to learn about neutron scattering from a theoretical perspective. A host of academics and instrument scientists from neutron facilities delivered excellent lectures and tutorials. The group enjoyed socialContinue reading “Aly and Kate attend the 16th Oxford School on Neutron Scattering”
Kate attends the International Advanced School in Muon Spectroscopy
The first school of this type since the 1998 Scottish Universities Summer School in Physics, the Advanced Muon School brought together PhD students and postdoctoral researchers at ISIS to learn about advanced techniques in muon spectroscopy. Over 30 speakers delivered lectures and workshops, and Kate particularly enjoyed Prof. Tom Lancaster’s lectures on the application ofContinue reading “Kate attends the International Advanced School in Muon Spectroscopy”
Graduation Day 2019
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”
