🚨 New TCO alert! 🚨 ZnSb2O6 has arrived, for all your opto-electronic needs! And guess what? It's cheap as chips! Thanks again to all involved 💪

Just out in @ChemMater - a #compchem prediction of a new transparent conducting oxide pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… Great work from @Ke_Li_23, @Kavanagh_Sean_ and @JWillis__. @UoBChemistry @uob_bear @ARCHER2_HPC. Now the challenge to my experimental friends is to prove us right....

Last preprint of 2023, @Ke_Li_23's first paper, predicting a new Sb(V)-based TCO. tinyurl.com/2hwtjn83 @UoBChemistry @uob_bear @ARCHER2_HPC @Kavanagh_Sean_ @JWillis__ .First paper of the PRAETORIAN project @UKRI_News @ERC_Research

Just out in @ChemMater, @JWillis__ and Romain Claes with an epic study of mobility limits in CuI p-type transparent conducors. A great collaboration with @hautiergroup! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… @UoBChemistry @ERC_Research @ARCHER2_HPC

Our paper on quantitative analysis of X-ray photoemission spectroscopy valence bands has now been published in @ACS_AMI This has been a labour of love for me - story below 🧵 @scanlond81 @UCLChemistry @JWillis__ @HarwellXPS pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

It's been a busy seven days for my group. PhD #11 (Dr @JWillis__) and #12 (Dr @KieranBSpooner) had their (virtual) vivas last week so no photos unfortunately. Today PhD #13 Dr @katarinabrlec passed her viva! Congrats Kat!! Thanks to @ZwijCompChem and Steve Parker for examining!

Phonons for #LK99

PLEASE RETWEET: I have a 4-year PhD studentship available @UoBChemistry on using #compchem to find new wide band gap oxides for optoelectronic applications. Want to increase efficiency in solar cells and power electronics, then this is for you! tinyurl.com/3nrb5tka

Many congratulations to newly minted Dr @Viliyana13 , who passed her PhD viva with flying colours today with a superb performance! Thanks to @cazknapp and @Steve_JButler for putting her through her paces!

Very proud supervisor moment! Congratulations to @WuRuiqi96158 for winning best poster prize for her very first poster at @tyc_london Student Day. Well done Ruiqi 🥳

Good morning of materials modelling talks at the @tyc_london student day

I have a funded PhD position Split site UCL/Singapore @astar_research Research on Halide Perovskites for solar applications Open to UK and EU Settled Status Deadline 31 May, so hurry! findaphd.com/phds/project/a…

Y2Ti2O5S2 is of interest for photocatalysis. But does anyone actually understand the surface chemistry of this complex system? Or its optical properties? Here @katarinabrlec and @c_n_savory throw the #compchem kitchen sink at it to understand it better: tinyurl.com/yr32pstv

@capis Thanks Jesús! 😃 Shout-out to @JWillis__, we tag-teamed the defects tutorial 💪 (orig. intended for new MSc/PhD students in @scanlond81's group)

@bluebananna @Robert_Palgrave @platinumbhatt @DiamondLightSou @UCLChemistry Excited for your first night shift Rob? 😉

Happy #synchrotron people 😆 It’s easy to be in a good mood when the samples behave, the beamline’s aligned to perfection, and the photons are numerous 🙌 Always a pleasure to do #HAXPES at I09, but extra special to be part of @Robert_Palgrave’s first I09 experiment 💪

Just out on @arxiv, @BastienGrosso led a systematic #compchem screening for new nitride perovksites, finding some interesting synthetic targets with some cool potential applications: arxiv.org/abs/2304.05450. @danwdavies @1stbz @lonepair @UCLChemistry @UCLFutureMat @ucl_arc

Massive Congrats to @Kavanagh_Sean_ who won a @Materials_MRS Graduate Student Award Gold Medal at the #S23MRS. The only finalist from a European Uni! @UCLChemistry @ImpMaterials @CDT_ACM @TCD_Chemistry. 🇮🇪 Very proud supervisor moment for @lonepair and I!!

Stop by the poster session on Thursday for a chat! #SMRS23 🌉
