Research scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory - high pressure neutron diffraction. Opinions are my own.

[Christopher Ridley @r1dley]

Thrilled to have this work accepted. Using not one, but two of the world’s dedicated high pressure neutron diffraction instruments - SNAP @ORNLNeutrons and PEARL @isisneutronmuon. https://t.co/kxZTC6F2Yl

@HannaBostroem Not if you stand closer to the camera :)

[Christopher Ridley @r1dley]

@DonikaApostolo1 Yes. We have a summer placement scheme, but I think applications have now closed for 2024. @isisneutronmuon can you confirm?

[Christopher Ridley @r1dley]

Highly recommend the Oxford School on Neutron Scattering to any interested students; be you new to neutrons, an early adopter, or wanting to learn about a new neutron technique. Application deadline extended to 30th April. https://t.co/fw0L7xppaM

[Christopher Ridley @r1dley]

@DonikaApostolo1 It is usually attended by PhD students, but I suggest that you contact the organisers ([email protected]). They will be able to confirm whether they accept applications from undergraduates.

Last few days for anyone interested in applying to work with us on a new high-pressure project at the UK’s neutron source. Link below.

Vacancy for a 2-year post-doc to come and work with us @isisneutronmuon, in collaboration with @psich_en. An exciting project involving high-pressure, neutron diffraction, and muon spectroscopy. Please get in touch if you're interested. https://t.co/7mwTV76LCr

[Christopher Ridley @r1dley]

Great to get our work published in @JMaterChem. Some lovely results measuring CsCaCl3 using the PEARL high-pressure instrument 💎 part of a collaboration between us @isisneutronmuon and researchers @EdinburghUni. https://t.co/LBUGo12NR9. @r1dley @giarc1bull @CumbyLab @sumitkonar

Registration is open for the @isisneutronmuon 40th anniversary roadshow in Edinburgh. Details and link to registration available here: https://t.co/xR6tefxvJM

Industrial placement opportunity! Come and work @isisneutronmuon for a year, and work with some diamond-anvil cells as part of our high-pressure research programme. 💎💎💎 https://t.co/OhKFViGT8E

[Christopher Ridley @r1dley]

New paper studying PrCrO3 with data combined from the GEM and PEARL diffractometers @isisneutronmuon. We compared the high-pressure behaviour with the effects of doping. Required some structure data mining from the literature ⛏️ 💎 https://t.co/81nL7KaXyn

[Christopher Ridley @r1dley]

some of the @isisneutronmuon Crystallography group is at @IUCr2023. Loving Melbourne so far! Coffee is a step up from R22 :)

[Christopher Ridley @r1dley]

Thrilled that this study has made it through to publication. It involved a number of instrument scientists here at the ISIS neutron and muon source, and I enjoyed being involved! Congratulations Noriki, and the team on WISH!

[ISIS Neutron and Muon Source @isisneutronmuon]

From a discussion on the beamline back in 2013 to a "technically perfect" paper, researchers on WISH went on quite a journey in their quest to study the complex magnetic behaviour of CuO.
But they got there in the end!

A new year, and a new PEARL paper! An entirely local effort on this one, studying how pressure strongly influences the nature of the bonding in lithium hydroxide. @isisneutronmuon @giarc1bull

@SalzmannLab I love that you stopped to take a picture of it first :)

@iainoswald Use fullprof :)

@giarc1bull @isisneutronmuon A very cautious 50mins after the embargo :)

It might just be me, but this looks like it is from a zombie movie. The padlock is a nice touch.
