We are pleased to report the first publication resulting from our seedcorn access scheme. Ioannis Papagiannis, a student at Coventry University, was recently awarded two days access to our X-Ray Diffraction facility:

“The WASC seedcorn funding allowed us to access the X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) equipment, which was not available at our institution. This allowed us to determine the crystallographic structure of iron oxide nanoparticles for its characterisation, which was then presented at and accepted for publication in the proceedings of the ICNNN 2021:

Papagiannis, M.S. Innocente, & E.I. Gkanas (2021). Synthesis and Characterisation of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles with Tunable Sizes by Hydrothermal Method. In Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Nanostructures, Nanomaterials and Nanoengineering 2021 (ICNNN 2021), Fukuoka, Japan (hybrid), 2021"

Congratulations to Ioannis on his publication!
