Congratulations to the Physics students collecting their degrees on 17th Jan., included fourteen PhD awards and the third cohort of Masters students graduating from the Diamond Science and Technology CDT.
Identifying the source of solar chromospheric jets
Solar spicules are jets of cold dense material emerging through the Sun's lower atmosphere, the chromosphere. This work demonstrated these can be formed from MHD waves.
Ballistic One-Dimensional Holes with Strong g‑Factor Anisotropy in Germanium
Observation of ballistic 1D holes with strong g‑factor anisotropy in epitaxial Germanium marks an important step toward the realization of novel devices for applications in quantum spintronics.
Determining crystal structure to high precision with electron diffraction
Until now, electron diffraction has not determined atomic positions in a crystal to the same accuracy (10^-13 m) as X-rays. We describe a new method which does this and more.
