Education
1989-1992:
Bachelor of Science (Hons), Chemistry, The University of
Nottingham, UK.
1992-1993: Master of Science, Medicinal Chemistry, Loughborough
University, UK.
1993-1997: Doctor of Philosophy, Inorganic Chemistry, The
University of Manchester, UK under the supervision of Prof. C.
D. Garner and Dr. D. Collison.
1997-1999: EPSRC Postdoctoral Fellow, Inorganic Chemistry, The
University of Edinburgh, UK in the group of Dr R. E. P. Winpenny.
Research field
The
synthesis and structural characterisation of transition metal
spin clusters and the study of their magnetic properties using
low temperature Magnetic Susceptibility, Electron Paramagnetic
Resonance and Inelastic Neutron Scattering measurements.
This is a fascinating area of study fuelled by the recent
discovery that the molecular cluster [Mn12O12(OAc)16(H2O)4]
(Mn12Ac) shows magnetic bistability of molecular origin. Mn12Ac
has a magnetic hysteresis at 2 K similar to that observed for
bulk magnets and the associated bistability can in principle be
used for data storage. This suggests the possibility of a
dramatic increase in the storage capacity of magnetic media with
the storage of one bit on a single molecular cluster of a
sharply defined size.
