The technique of longitudinal neutron polarization analysis on a multi-detector spectrometer (so-called ` xyz '-polarization analysis) is presented. This allows the simultaneous and unambiguous determination nuclear, magnetic nuclear spin-incoherent scattering cross sections as function both momentum transfer energy transfer. implementation -polarization recently upgraded D7 at Institut Laue–Langevin in Grenoble described. Several examples studies disordered systems are given, illustrating...
Abstract For the last 28 years, one of leading international science education organisations has regularly provided a week‐long summer school experience for doctoral students. In 2020, COVID‐19 pandemic prevented travel and close‐contact interactions between scholars. This required transformation relocation learning mentors students online through virtual school. All participants, from across five continents, were invited to reflectively comment on their educative after event. paper...
The internationally acknowledged gender gap in science continues to be an unrelenting concern educators; aggregate data the UK show that both recruitment and retention of women academic remain relatively low. Most published research focuses on broad field science, generates correlations or predictions, examines reasons why do not participate fields like physics engineering. Previous work has yet addressed how have found ways succeed particular fields, such as chemistry, successful pathways...
Abstract This article utilizes a framework for classifying different scientific methods suggested by philosopher of science (Brandon Synthese , 99, 59–73, 1994) called Brandon’s Matrix. It presents findings from teachers who took part in funded project England that looked at the nature investigations. Science investigations are an integral aspect education and, as such, often included high stakes examinations. Therefore, need to have good understanding range and their purposes The was used...
We have used neutron-scattering and muon spin relaxation $(\ensuremath{\mu}\text{SR})$ to investigate the structural magnetic properties of $\ensuremath{\beta}$ phase elemental manganese doped with dilute amounts indium. $\ensuremath{\beta}\text{-Mn}$ is an example a topologically frustrated antiferromagnetically correlated metal---but which remains paramagnetic at all temperatures. The addition In results in vast volume expansion lattice would therefore be expected major effect on stability...
Background: Argumentation, that is the coordination of evidence and reasons to support claims, an important skill for democratic society, developing subject-specific literacies, can be embedded in multiple school subjects. While argumentation has been extensively researched science education, interdisciplinary less explored, particularly between subjects where collaboration not norm, such as religious education (RE). Yet everyday issues often involve considering information from sources,...
Abstract Much research investigates why women do not participate in physics, or female attrition physics is high; this study focuses on elite academic physicists and how they have persisted succeeded their fields. As opposed to researching reasons for participating, six physicists' strategies flourishing a male‐dominated field. Through semi‐structured life‐history interviews, the participants' narratives revealed gendered identities be hybrid : all identified as female, but performed...
We present a study of the magnetic moment correlations two pseudo-binary C15 Laves phase compounds, (Dy(0.4)Y(0.6))Mn(2) and (Dy(0.4)Y(0.6))Al(2), both which have spin-glass-like ground states at low temperature. use neutron powder diffraction with polarization analysis to isolate diffuse scattering associated correlated spin-glass state, compare contrast systems. Despite there being differences correlation length scale, we discover that moment-moment these disordered magnets are quite...
I am writing in response to Felicity Mellor's article on the "Brian Cox effect" and its possible impact way women girls perceive physics (October p19).
