A new angle on skyrmions

Skyrmion figure

In a collaboration between the University of Oxford and Diamond Light Source, a technique has been developed that allows for the measurement of the skyrmion Hall angle in the skyrmion lattice state. This has been used to carry out the first measurement of the skyrmion Hall angle on the I10 beamline at Diamond Light Source in the room temperature skyrmion system FeGe.

Prince Philip’s visit to the Department of Physics

Prince Philip with Nicholas Kurti, 4 November, 1960

As Buckingham Palace today announces the death of Prince Philip aged 99, our archivist, Professor Stephen Blundell describes a recorded visit to the Department of Physics on 4 November 1960.

‘The Clarendon archive contains several documents describing the detailed arrangements for Prince Philip’s visit to the Department of Physics, part of an Oxford day out for the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh, and in reading them one gets the sense of a different age, where protocol and deference were very much the order of the day.
