Science Highlights

Mapping the magnetic behaviour of an iron-based superconductor
The detailed phase diagram of a superconducting material has been fully mapped out, thanks to a combination of neutron and muon experiments.
Dr William Griggs: Using Neutrons to investigate FeRh thin films.
ISIS User William Griggs has been awarded his Doctorate from the University of Manchester based on work undertaken investigating FeRh thin films using the POLREF Instrument.
Finding a quantum state in a natural mineral
Using muon spin spectroscopy, researchers have found new evidence that the mineral, szenicsite, is dominated by the novel quantum state known as the Majumdar-Ghosh point.
