    • St Paul's School Graphic

      Director of Extended Projects

      St Paul's School

      - 2 years 1 month

      Extended projects are the only AS level equivalent opportunity to develop a student lead deep research project with research teaching and one to one academic supervision. In my two years of leadership the department achieved 100% A*A in non-Engineering subjects and 98% in Engineering.

  • Superconductivity in the intercalated graphite compounds C6Yb and C6Ca

    Nature Physics

    Low dimensionality is generally considered as a necessary ingredient for high superconducting transition temperatures. Surprisingly, perhaps, systems based on graphite1, 2, 3 have received little attention in this context. Introducing metal atoms between the carbon layers can tune the interlayer spacing and charging of the graphite host through a variety of electronic ground states. One such ground state is superconductivity3, which is not present in pure graphite. Here we report the discovery…

    Low dimensionality is generally considered as a necessary ingredient for high superconducting transition temperatures. Surprisingly, perhaps, systems based on graphite1, 2, 3 have received little attention in this context. Introducing metal atoms between the carbon layers can tune the interlayer spacing and charging of the graphite host through a variety of electronic ground states. One such ground state is superconductivity3, which is not present in pure graphite. Here we report the discovery of superconductivity in the intercalation compounds C6Yb and C6Ca, with transition temperatures of 6.5 and 11.5 K, respectively.
