A new Laue diffractometer has been ordered from Multiwire Laboratories Ltd. This is part of the EPSRC grant for a Durham single crystal growth facility (PI Dr Ivana Evans, Chemistry). This will arrive in January 2018 and be housed within the Physics Department as a service for the characterisation and alignment of single crystals.

Sam Moody, a level 4 undergraduate research project student, recently visited the single crystal diffraction beamline (I19) at Diamond to undertake an experiment.
