This paper uses transmission electron microscopy to show a structural reorganisation from a five- to a six-layered Aurivillius phase, accommodating more magnetic ions while preserving in-plane ferroelectric properties, as confirmed by piezoresponse force microscopy imaging.

For technologically competitive devices, a necessary requirement for multiferroic materials is the enhancement of the magnetic properties by means of strongly interacting magnetic moments with long-range spin ordering.

Featured work:

«Impact of magnetic ion substitution on the crystal structure of multiferroic Aurivillius phases»

Scientists from Tyndall National Institute have used microscopy techniques to understand structural changes and magnetic behaviour of multiferroic materials 🧲🔬

«This will be key in developing a new strategy for the Society as we approach our 50th anniversary.»

Read more about MSI’s new President on our website microscopy.ie 🔬

«I hope to encourage wider inclusive participation nationally, with a review of the current structure to ensure we engage with as many scientists, engineers, clinical and corporate colleagues as possible in technical, core, academic, and industry roles.», she continues,

She said: «I am honoured to have been nominated to lead the MSI over the coming term and represent the members.»

We’re delighted to announce Dr Kerry Thompson as the new President of MSI!

Kerry was elected to her new role at this year’s annual symposium and will serve in the post for the next two years! ✨

Excellent few days at the @microscopyirl.bsky.social Annual Symposium hosted by Mark Pickering, Niamh Burke and Amy Hasset in UCD.

Getting ready for the holidays? 🎄

Don’t forget to submit your abstract for MSI 2025 before you leave work on Friday 20th Dec!

You don’t want to miss out on this fantastic meeting, with an image analysis workshop included in registration 🔬

✨ MSI 2025 Abstract Submission Deadline Extended ✨

The annual MSI Meeting 2025 will be hosted by @ucddublin.bsky.social from 14th to 16th January 2025. Abstracts are invited from all areas of microscopy related research!

The abstract submission deadline has been extended to 20th December 2024 🧪

There's also an image analysis workshop! What would people like to cover?

* Overview of #ImageAnalysis in general?
* Introduction to #FIJI?
* Introduction to #MachineLearning for segmentation?
* Introduction to automation in #FIJI?
* Introduction to automation with #Python?
* Something else?

There’s still time to submit your abstract for MSI 2025!

This meeting will have a special focus on inclusivity and community building in microscopy. We hope to see you join the discussions in UCD in January! ✨

Abstract submission deadline: 13th December

Want to improve your image analysis skills?
