Great to see some VB XPS in new materials discovery, especially in cool 😎 mixed anion compounds #SSCG23 Cara Rosseinsky Group Harwell XPS

A short explainer on compositional disorder. Imagine a square grid. Place one circle on each intersection of the grid. The circles are arranged in an ordered pattern, this is similar to the order found in a crystal (although of course real crystals are 3D not 2D)

#DieMaus erklärt mit Hilfe des Chemikers Dr. Luca Carella von der Universität Mainz, wie man messen kann, wie ein Molekül aussieht. Übrigens: gute Fehlerkultur des Teams der Maus, das lange Zeit aus Versehen eine falsche Struktur genutzt hat wdrmaus.de/filme/sachgesc…

Difference between powder XRD and single-crystal XRD.. when I was a PhD student at Stockholm University - Prof Lynne McCusker from ETH Zurich gave a fantastic presentation.. now when I teach x-ray crystallography to University of Lincoln, UK students I use her slides with her permission.

While working with Rosseinsky Group and chris collins during my year in the UK, we set out to try and improve the already impressive FUSE crystal structure prediction package by incorporating machine learning into the process. We were successful and we now see speed-ups on

How many isomers can you draw for PdSn2? In Inorganic Chemistry: Lim et al. Fredrickson Lab, UW-Madison examine chemical pressures for 3 potential 18-n+m isomers of PdSn2, revealing how atomic size effects determine the winner: an intergrowth of the fluorite and CuAl2 types: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
