I am feeling great these days. Although 2022 has just started, I am doing great in science. My first priority of this year is to submit my first paper this year and I am going in that direction also I could find several experiments and proposals under preparation, they are all great.
I have found a couple of projects that I am very excited about because we are getting totally new results, now I am feeling I am creating a new data set from scratch.
The first project is chromium oxide. That sample I didn’t expect to get nice results however our colleague could make a large single crystal. In my field, if you get a nice large single crystal and it is new there is always something to publish so like we hit a jackpot. I did some literature review on that sample, I don’t see much data yet so we investigate we will find something. I just got a magnetization data set that shows several transitions that excites me. The magnetic structure looks complicated so it is fun to solve. We need to look into the magnetic structure by neutron diffraction soon. With the combination of these data set I am sure we can publish the data. Also, we have a large single crystal so there are so many things to do for this compound for inelastic neutron scattering. So I expect to get all the results in one or two years. I want to finish writing as soon as the data get out.
Then, I also get two samples of phosphorous. These samples I have known since when I was a student however the single-crystal became available so it seems the study is going further. I have so much interest in these samples and I can see where I can contribute. So I will keep investing time in these samples.
I am happy to see there are several scientific projects that started rolling. I am excited to perform the experiment. While I should not forget, I write up the paper and publish the results so I can finish off the experiment we have done. That is the priority this year. I am excited to work every day. Just don’t run away from writing. Let’s finish the first paper, so I can move on.
These days I am reading great as well. I am using Audible.com to listen to books in English. The audiobook’s speed is like ×1.5 speed than the normal speed, I can understand and I am enjoying listening to these books. I will post the review in a few days here in this blog. I can learn better by summarizing what I learned from these books. Also, I am reading books in Japanese and writing reviews, by writing and trying to summarize I am feeling actually I am learning much better. I should have done this in the first place.
From this Friday, we will start working on magnetic excitation from skyrmion. That experiment is hard but there is some hope we can get a nice result and good publication. So I will do my best to assist users. I am excited to learn the project so I am happy to do the experiment.
I am doing my best every day for life and work. So if I can keep up, I am sure I can make 2022 great. But I also want to avoid not being tired so I don’t want to kill my creativity to enjoy them.
