Last week, we welcomed the first external users (University of Glasgow) of our cryostat for actinide samples. The team conducted HERFD using I18 and the Active Materials Lab at Diamond Light Source @DiamondLightSou
Thank you to the team at ID20 for supporting our Th RIXS this week; excellent beamline with impressive resolution @esrfsynchrotron

So excited to finally have this work out there! Lots of hard work went into this from everyone involved, so huge thanks to everyone!
Keep your eyes peeled for more exciting RIXS to come! ☢️🧪
We are super pleased to share our latest research, where we present M4,5-edge RIXS as a new method for probing actinide-ligand bond covalency!
Check it out here!

Very excited to be back @esrfsynchrotron for a week of beamtime at ID26! Looking forward to seeing what we discover as the week unfolds ☢️🧪
And congratulations to @MSHuzan_PhD for his poster prize at the @DiamondLightSou Magnetism Group meeting! That makes 3 for 3 Baker Group winners this month! 🏆
Replying to @DiamondLightSou
🏅And 1st place goes to Myron Huzan for their poster on 'Quantifying the influence of 3d-4s mixing on linearly coordinated metal ions.'
Congratulations, Myron. 👏
Congratulations to PhD student Alan Qi, who recently won a poster prize at the @DiamondLightSou Spectroscopy Group meeting for his work on probing non-Aufbau divalent lanthanides with RXES!

This is a joint spectroscopy / theory project between:
@MLBakerLab (mlbakerlab.co.uk);
@GoodwinRadChem (capgoodwin.com);
Prof. Han-Shi Hu (x-mol.com/groups/HanshiHU);
Prof. Jun Li (junlilab.org/index.html)

Ever considered doing a #PhDposition in another country? What about two countries?
See se.manchester.ac.uk/phds-sci…
For a joint @Tsinghua_Uni + @OfficialUoM PhD studentship on advanced X-ray spectroscopy to unravel the properties of rare-earth complexes in unusual oxidation states.
