The joint publication with Becky and Alex as the two joint first authors has just appeared in the latest issue of Cryst Eng Comm! This joint efforts is also featured on the front cover of the journal! Well done!
Ben (Brown)’s paper on the development of a conductive-AFM redox-writing (cAROW) technique to address thin films of oligo(aniline) has just appeared online in Small!
Please note that this paper is open access, and available for download without any charge.
The inspiration of Dicker’s research project, sponsored by the Leverhulme Trust, is the sun-tracking movements of the Cornish Mallow.
Dicker, a joint PhD student with Prof Paul Weaver and colleagues from ACCIS, recently posted this Youtube time-lapse video of his prized Cornish Mallow’s laboratory activity!
A paper by (Dr) Ben Brown, entitled “Reversible Conductive-AFM Patterning of Organic Semiconductors” was accepted by Small! The study outlines a conductive-AFM redox-writing (cAROW) technique, and show that it is possible to locally, and reversibly, pattern conducting and non-conducting features on the surface of oligo(aniline)s.
This project was done in close collaboration with Dr Loren Picco and Prof Mervyn Miles FRS, from the Nanophysics and Soft Matter group in School of Physics. It is obvious from the image that Ben (now working for GE in Bristol) was sponsored by the BCFN!
Congratulations to Alex and Becky from the Faul and Hall groups respectively for getting their joint work on graphene oxide templates published in CrystEngComm!
The paper (here) describes the first use of sacrificial graphene oxide templates for structural direction of yttrium barium copper oxide (YBCO) superconductors.
James’ paper in Small is now available as an Open Access document, and free to download. Enjoy!
James’s paper entitled Imaging the Predicted Isomerism of Oligo(aniline)s: A Scanning Tunneling Microscopy Study has just been published online in the micro- and nanotechnology journal Small!
The work was performed in collaboration with Prof. Heinrich Hoerber in Physics and Dr Neil Fox in Chemistry. For the first time, we have directly observed the cis and trans isomers of tetra(aniline)s in the half-oxidised EB state. Our findings shed light on why oligo(aniline)s do not always self-assemble as easily as other materials, and how we could improve their properties.
Yaozu’s paper in Macromolecules on novel porous materials based on perylene diimides and triazines have appeared online! This exciting work (in collaboration with Jens Weber) discusses the preparation of porous and related carbon materials, and their excellent selectivity and capability for CO2 uptake.

The latest publication from the Faul group has just been accepted for publication in Macromolecules! The work by Yaozu focuses on microporous polyimides for CO2 uptake.
