June 2005 - Dr. Clivia Hejny receives European High Pressure Group Award

Dr. Clivia Hejny receives European High Pressure Group Award (June 2005). Dr. Clivia Hejny of the School of Physics and Centre for Science at Extreme Conditions at The University of Edinburgh has been awarded the 2005 European High Pressure Research Group (EHPRG) Award for her high-pressure diffraction studies of the group VI elements S, Se and Te at SRS and ESRF. She received her award at the joint international XX AIRAPT - XLIII EHPRG conference in Karlsruhe, Germany. Clivia's work used both stations 9.1 and 9.8 at SRS, and station ID09 at the ESRF to identify incommensurate crystal structures in Te, Se and S at pressures up to 100 GPa. The results of this work were published in four papers in Physical Review Letters and Physical Review B.
