Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

Description The objective of the award is to form closer links with other groups at the RCaH and with industry. This we have achieved. We have also run one "school" for postgraduate researchers and an international meeting in April 2016 on "Dynamic Structural Science". This meeting included 16 talks from international leaders in the field and will result in the publication of a book of the transcripts of the lectures by Wiley in 2018..

Dr Hatcher, the Impact Acceleration Fellow, has built new collaborations with Diamond and has enhanced her CV.
Exploitation Route We hope that the book will form a bench mark for dynamic studies for the next decade.
Sectors Education,Electronics,Energy,Environment,Healthcare,Manufacturing, including Industrial Biotechology,Pharmaceuticals and Medical Biotechnology

 
Description We have engaged a broad community interested in time-resolved (dynamic) structural science. We are engaging with industry to see if the methodologies that we have developed can be used to look at catalytic systems. We held a conference on dynamic structural science in April 2016, and this will result in the publication of a book in the area highlighting the advances in the subject. The book will be published by Wiley in 2018.. The workshop on "how to write better papers" has been used by post docs and post graduates throughout the RCaH to improve their paper writing and presentation skills.

Title Dynamic methods for Single Crystal X-ray Crystallography and XAFS using synchrotron radiation 
Description During the project we have developed time resolved methods (between nanoseconds and milliseconds) for determining the structures of molecules in the solid state (X-ray and EXAFS) and in solution (XAFS) that have short lifetimes. These materials include charge transfer complexes and catalysts. 
Type Of Material Improvements to research infrastructure 
Year Produced 2015 
Provided To Others? Yes  
Impact We have developed the HATRX method for determining the structures of molecules with short lifetimes (micro and milliseconds) and this methodology is now available to academic users on the single crystal beamline, I 19, at the Diamond synchrotron, and is also being used at the synchrotron in Hamburg. 
 
Description Dynamic Structural Science Workshop 
Form Of Engagement Activity A formal working group, expert panel or dialogue
Part Of Official Scheme? No
Geographic Reach International
Primary Audience Professional Practitioners
Results and Impact A 3 day workshop on the latest developments in dynamic structural science covering time resolved experiments across the life and physical sciences involving XFELS, synchrotrons and lasers. It included 16 talks from international experts in the field. A book of the lectures will be published by Wiley in late 2017.

Form Of Engagement Activity Participation in an activity, workshop or similar
Part Of Official Scheme? No
Geographic Reach National
Primary Audience Postgraduate students
Results and Impact A 2-day workshop at the RCaH organised for the post graduates and post doctoral workers at the RCaH to help them write better, high impact papers. Editors from leading journals were invited to give talks, and there were also group working sessions and individual mentoring.
