This is part of a DLS grant won by Dr Vopson to study anti-ferroelectric materials using synchrotron measurements. After a slow start, the experiment appears to have been a mega success. Dr Vopson is still analysing the data, but the preliminary results are extremely encouraging. Without disclosing more info now, we will shortly publish our results and the article will be linked on this blog.
