| Title | Defect pyrochlore model for RMC calculations |
| Description | A large super-cell (5x5x5) model for the defect fluorite structure A2B2O7 has been developed with random distributions for anions and/or cations. The resulting configurations will be used as multiple starting points for RMC analysis of a variety of pyrochlores showing varying degrees of disorder. |

| Description | ISIS Young Researcher's Meeting 2014 |
| Form Of Engagement Activity | A talk or presentation |
| Part Of Official Scheme? | No |
| Geographic Reach | National |
| Primary Audience | Postgraduate students |
| Results and Impact | My oral/poster presentation sparked discussions among those working in similar areas of research. After the activity, I was able to network, and talk to, other postgraduate students nation-wide, working across similar areas of research to myself. This enables me to gain a clear bird's-eye view of me research methods, which boosts my satisfaction and self-esteem. |
