Jere is embarking on a three-year postdoc position and will be developing single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques for understanding the phase-behaviour and structure-property relationships in multiferroic materials. Alex is a PhD student, joint with the Senn group and Chaplin group, and will be working on organometallic chemistry with high-pressure crystallography.Read more

A fully funded (3.5 years for EU/UK students) PhD studentship on understanding the microscopic mechanisms in functional materials is available within the Senn group. The broader area of research encompasses that of solid state science and physical crystallography. The start date of the PhD studentship will be October 2017, and the project will be conducted at the University of Warwick. Interested applicantsRead more
Sarah Craddock, Mark S. Senn. Journal of Solid State Chemistry 248 (2017) 157–163. There has been renewed interest in the Ruddlesden-Popper phase (n=2) of composition Can+1MnnO3 n+1 in the light of recent research that has highlighted the nature of the improper ferroelectric ground state, which arises due to the couplings between specific combinations of MnO6Read more
Mark S. Senn, Acta Cryst. (2017). A73, 1-3. The significance of an algorithm developed by H. T. Stokes & B. J. Campbell [Acta Cryst. (2017), A73, 4-13] is discussed. The algorithm promises to be a key tool for understanding the structure-property relationships of the many technologically important materials that display incommensurate modulations in their atomicRead more
