Transient melting of a nanocrystal: seeing is believing
Jesse Clark, working as a postdoc in the LCN group of Ian Robinson, has discovered a spectacular transient melting phenomenon in nanocrystals. Coherent X-ray diffraction experiments, carried out at the LCLS X-ray free electron laser facility at Stanford, have allowed...
Large-scale simulations of atom dynamics
Researchers develop a new method for simulating previously unstudied complex matter An international research team has developed a highly efficient novel method for simulating the dynamics of very large systems potentially containing millions of atoms, up to 1000...
A step forward in the electrical control of spin states
The solution to an important problem in spintronics research, found by an international collaboration including researchers at the LCN, has been published in the journal Nature Communications. Spintronics is a multi-disciplinary research area that uses the quantum...
