PhD project on EELS of energy materials available in my group as part of the CDT ReNU. Application deadline is 3rd Feb findaphd.com/phds/project/e…

Happy Women & Girls in Science Day! We’re making progress but have a lot more to do to have equal representation and opportunities for female and male scientists. #WomenInScience

This might be of interest if you are looking to speed up frozen phonon multislice simulations. It can handle plasmons as well. “Phase Scrambling” Algorithm for Parallel Multislice Simulation of Multiple Phonon and Plasmon Scattering Configurations academic.oup.com/mam/article/do…

After a long pause finally another paper on thin-film PV. This one models anisotropic charge transport in Sb2Se3. Turns out anisotropy plays a bigger role than grain boundaries in this system sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

.Budhika Mendis, Alex Eggeman and co-workers quantify molecular disorder in TIPS pentacene using diffuse scattering in electron diffraction. Both thermal vibrations and static molecular disorder due to frozen in defects are analyzed. go.acs.org/6t4

In this work from Budhika Mendis, Keith McKenna, SuperSTEM Daresbury, Ro “Con” Anderson, @DuroseKen, and team, experiment and theory suggest that Sb2Se3 is intrinsically tolerant to defects at grain boundaries, a key requirement for highly efficient thin-film photovoltaics go.aps.org/3Uzj0Z3

This work was done by T.F.S. Altamimi and Budhika Mendis at Durham University, along with J.F. Leaver, @DuroseKen, and Ro “Con” Anderson at the Stephenson Institute for Renewable Energy (University of LiverpoolSIRE) @LivUniPhysSci @LivUni.

A fully funded PhD studentship is available within the York CDT in Sustainable Materials for Net Zero to work on the discovery of new sustainable permanent magnets using predictive materials modelling.

Had a lot of fun combining thermodynamics with my pet subject inelastic scattering. Reciprocity and time reversal can be easily understood using entropy arguments
