We have studied over 1600 Am stars at a photometric precision of 1 mmag with SuperWASP photometric data. Contrary to previous belief, we find that around 200 Am stars are pulsating delta Sct and gamma Dor stars, with low amplitudes that have been mis...

The nucleus of the thorium-229 isotope possesses a first excited nuclear state (229mTh) at an exceptionally low energy of 7.8±0.5 eV above the nuclear ground state (229gTh), as determined by earlier indirect measurements. This is the only nuclear exc... Read More about Optical spectroscopy of an atomic nucleus: Progress toward direct observation of the 229Th isomer transition.

Conference Proceeding
Southworth, J. (2011). Homogeneous studies of transiting planets. . https://doi.org/10.1017/S1743921311027177

The derived physical properties of the known transiting extrasolar planetary systems come from a variety of sources, and are calculated using a range of different methods so are not always directly comparable. I present a catalogue of the physical pr... Read More about Homogeneous studies of transiting planets.

Laser writing of the electronic activity of N- and H-atoms in GaAs (2011)
Journal Article

We use a focussed laser beam to control the electronic activity of N- and H-atoms in a dilute nitride Ga(AsN)/GaAs quantum well. Our approach yields submicron resolution in the spatial manipulation of the electronic properties and can provide an alte...

(2011). Theoretical Study of Carbon Clusters in Silicon Carbide Nanowires. Journal of Nanotechnology, 1 - 8. https://doi.org/10.1155/2011/203423

Using first-principles methods we performed a theoretical study of carbon clusters in silicon carbide (SiC) nanowires. We examined small clusters with carbon interstitials and antisites in hydrogen-passivated SiC nanowires growth along the [100] and...
