Conference presentations
WCUS members have been presenting our recent work at a few conferences so far this year.
Connor Mosley will be talking at this year's in Los Angeles about our recent work on hysteresis and spin disorder in the magnetically-induced multiferroic CuO.
James Lloyd-Hughes gave an invited talk at the Max Planck Society's "" research school's annual workshop in Schloss Ringberg, Bavaria. This was an excellent meeting - thanks to the organisers!
James also gave an invited talk at the at the University of Chester - thanks to Dr Bin Yang for the invitation and the exciting day of talks.

Funded PhD positions available in Physics
Funded PhD positions are available to work with Emma MacPherson on "Fast Terahertz Imaging and Spectroscopy", and with James Lloyd-Hughes on "Ultrafast terahertz spectroscopy of novel perovskite photovoltaics". Please get in touch if you are interested in a PhD or MSc by Research in the group. These are funded studentships lasting 3.5 years, and are available to UK and EU students. For more details please see the .
IR beamline aces reproducibility
The IR beamline has been undergoing rigourous refining and further testing and has beautifully reproduced data from published results. See the results gallery to view this new exciting data of N-methyl pyridone in ACN excited at 267 nm.

THz spectroscopy in full swing
The Optical pump Terahertz probe beamline is in full swing, with UV, visible, and IR excitation options. Check out our latest results in the , including a benchmark of picosecond conductivity dynamics in partially crystalline GaAs.
IR beamline produces first results
The Infrared transient absorption beamline has output its first real data! Check it out at the results gallery.
