Congratulations @JamesSteeleNano and team!
My first lead author paper is now live @ChemMater! We solve the structure of the first desodiated phase in NaxNiO2 (x=2/3) via X-ray and neutron diffraction, solid state NMR, and DFT/AIMD. Ni charge- and Na vacancy-ordering play an important role! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

🎉 Congratulations to Xiaotian Zhang on his first paper! At the start of his PhD I think he hadn't ever done a Rietveld refinement before, and now he is a pro at multi-phase magnetic refinements! Read all about TbTaO4 here: doi.org/10.1039/D4MA01156B

Our latest experiment was the cat's μ!
We just wrapped up in-/ex-situ μ-SR on EMU @isisneutronmuon ! We're looking into sodium dynamics in the phases which form when NaNiO2 is electrochemically cycled, and could even measure whilst dis/charging thanks to the BAM cell!

📢 Happy to share our paper on low-T structure and magnetism of Ba3Tb(BO3)3, out now! Thank you to all coauthors, especially @SianEDutton. Work done at @DeptofPhysics, @psich_en and @isisneutronmuon

It's the most wonderful time of the year... By which I of course mean the @SscgR ECR and Christmas meetings! Thanks so much for the opportunity to give a talk and poster presentation on our work which should be coming to @ChemRxiv soon. Happy Holidays all!
Congratulations Camilla
Congratulations to our PhD student Camilla Tacconis for winning the poster prize at #MATSUS24

My first paper as a corresponding author is out in @J_A_C_S - and it's an exciting one!
We apply classical melt-processing principles to 2D hybrid perovskites, demonstrating bandgap tuning through composition and crystallinity changes.

Our latest work is out in JACS!
For anyone interested in Jahn-Teller distortions, displacive transitions and LiNiO2's cooler sibling NaNiO2, check out our "scientific tour de force" (thanks reviewer 1)!

When you wish upon a high flux neutron diffractometer... you get to see low intensity superstructure peaks! (At least at the WISH instrument @isisneutronmuon) Thanks to the team experimental Farheen, Liam, @SianEDutton and the wonderful instrument scientists Fabio and Pascal! – at Hitchin, England
Great to collaborate with @saines_408 and team on this work. @DeptofPhysics
Fondly remembering my days as a PhD student after publishing in Journal of Solid State Chemistry for the first time in 15 years this nice piece of work lead by my first two PhD students @FalsapernaMario and Richard Dixey. doi.org/10.1016/j.jssc.2024.….

Exciting times at the @isisneutronmuon Roadshow @cardiffuni! Many cool talks and interesting experiments to consider. Thanks to the organisers for putting on a great event, and giving me the opportunity to talk about novel structural solutions in Na(1-x)NiO2 phases! – at Cardiff, Wales

Just returned from a wonderful week @ILLGrenoble D4, where we measured magnetic diffuse scattering (mPDF) in candidate magnetocaloric materials. In lieu of our usual instrument photograph (no photography in the reactor!) Fiamma and I took advantage of the cool virtual tour!

Amazing week @isisneutronmuon Muon Training School! Thanks to the organisers, speakers, and scientists for great talks and hands-on experience with the μSR spectrometers! Delighted to have won the prize for best talk, my new Muon pal and etched schematic of ISIS are the coolest!
