Hello flat magnetism fans, a new MOKE system is currently making its way to our characterisation labs! #Nanomoke3
First beam to TS2! Much, much more soon to follow.... Bring on 2014/3 :)
Magnetisation profile in doped topological insulators? EPL highlight 2014: iopscience.iop.org/0295-5075… Nice data from Polref @isisneutronmuon

Nice paper on voltage control of perp. magnetisation in Ni/BTO. Not OffSpec but my samples :) @DiamondLightSou doi.org/10.1002/adma.2014047…

Have I got your preferred and no-way dates for the next few cycles yet? You snooze you, aeh, run over Easter...?

.@isisneutronmuon is celebrating 30 years this month, they've produced 12g of neutrons over that time, sounds cute but is actually epic

Offspec is hiring! If you have what it takes, or think you might: isis.stfc.ac.uk/vacancies/in… Feel free to email me or Rob.

We've just finished our most complicated experiment to date. Event mode NR in situ FTIR QCM. What fun!

Offspec's first event mode experiments have now been done. It's a brave new world!
It's been a busy day! Nick Clegg came to visit @isisneutronmuon and the huge amount of work to repair the RF seems to have worked.

Offspec now has the next generation of ISIS data acquisition equipment (DAE3) installed for testing.

The end of a very long productive cycle is thankfully here. What are we still doing in R80 at this time?
