| Title | Raman spectroscopy as a tool for total irradiation damage assessment in target graphite |
| Description | A method was developed to evaluate the total amount of damage introduced in target graphite as a result of proton beam bombardment. This utilzed the correlation between decrease in crystallite size and increase in the bandwidth of a single peak of the graphite Raman spectrum. |
| Type Of Material | Data analysis technique |
| Year Produced | 2023 |
| Provided To Others? | Yes |
| Impact | This work has been written up and submitted to a journal paper currently under review. It is estimated to be available to the community within this year. |

| PI Contribution | Characterisation of the irradiated graphite materials Research and investigation of the porosity and property changes with irradiation. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Contribution of half a PhD studentship per annual based on UKRI rate. Organization and shipping of active samples to Bristol. Regular meetings and discussions with Bristol. Contribution to papers writing (we have two papers submitted to journals under review). |
| Impact | This collaboration has resulted in several conference talks and research publications. It will result in a PhD thesis end of this year. |

| Primary Audience | Undergraduate students |
| Results and Impact | The event was organised by a PhD student in Chemistry who is the CEO of Creative Tuition Collective (https://www.creativetuitioncollective.com/) (www.linkedin.com/in/lara-lalemi). In short, they provide young people from lower income backgrounds with free STEM tuition and mental well-being support to improve their academic abilities and self-confidence. Part of their mission in creating Creative Tuition is to showcase how science and maths is a joy to be a part of and a worthwhile career path for anyone, no matter what barriers they do or do not face. They wanted to make a video of local prominent women across the university to showcase in a school assembly in celebration of International Women in STEM Day. I took part in this. The video did not focus on the fact that I am a woman, but the focus was to show students brilliant scientists and mathematicians who happen to be women. |
