This year, the BCA spring meeting was held virtually for the first time. The planning and organizing committees, however, did an excellent job putting together a variety of excellent talks spanning a rich range of topics. On the first day, following the YCG meeting, Aly presented his recently published work on the Ti(III) diamond andContinue reading “Aly and Lucy Present at the 2021 BCA Spring Meeting”

Jen Attends the 2021 HERCULES School
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”
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!”
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”
Jen’s First Paper is Published!
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”
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”
