Successful Diamond Light Source proposal

Our Beam-line proposal at Diamond Light Source:

In-situ synchrotron studies of anti-ferroelectric materials for digital data storage

scheduled in the allocation period 23 from Apr 2018 - Oct 2018, has been awarded  6 shifts on I11: High Resolution Powder Diffraction.

EPSRC:Research Grant Success

Our EPSRC proposal:

Anti-ferroelectric materials for non-volatile memory applications

has just been awarded. This grant will facilitate Dr Vopson's travel for five weeks to three overseas institutions, in two countries, in order to perform and receive training on specialized experiments for anti-ferroelectric materials. The partner institutions are: Western Digital, a multibillion $ data storage company based in California, Iowa State University and the National Institute of Materials Physics (NIMP), Bucharest.
