Diamond Light Source Synchrotron measurements of anti-ferroelectrics work published

Research results from our Synchrotron and Mossbauer measurements of anti-ferroelectrics have just been published. Link to the on-line paper: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cap.2019.03.009

Evidence of substrate roughness surface induced magnetic anisotropy in NiFe flexible thin films

Michal Belusky publishes his first article as a PhD student in the Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials (impact factor 3.046). This is a collaborative project between Dr Vopson's research group at the University of Portsmouth, Dr Lepadatu at University of Central Lancashire and Dr Naylor at Kurt J. Lesker, European Operations. Many congratulations to Michal for his debut in the academic publishing.

First Synchrotron experiment

ON 3-6 July 2018 Dr Vopson attended the Synchrotron facility, Diamond Light Source, in Oxfordshire together with his team, Mr Belusky and Dr Namvar.

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.
