The experiment is going well. The Canadian group should be able to write nice paper to established journal. The project is mainly for new graduate student, I think he is very talented and he did good job for making single crystal. I would like to congratulate him. We are going to get additional data to prove further in Australia by the end of year, I am quite excited about it. I now realized that as an instrument scientist working at Australia, it is quite important to have good user community around this area because I am learning a lot just working with them.
Since the experiment is stable so I could have some time to analyze my data and writing paper. I finished manuscript in January and got comments from collaborators, I am now revising papers. I need to finish this as soon as possible. I have still advantages because we found new magnetic phase under pressure in some superconducting material people have never published yet. And also we have an evidence which is needed to understand more about superconductivity on this material. We are going to submit this manuscript to somewhere which has letter form paper because I want this result to be published as soon as possible. I am now trying to figure out how I can present figures on this paper because letter form paper has limitation for number of length of paper. We need short but strong description and 4 or 5 good figures make my point.
Physics today was talking about LIGO and Pluto . I stared reading Physic today recently, I thought it is good time to know other physicist are doing. And physics today are also talking about national budget, these are good source to discuss with science politics in Japan. Physics is interesting enough to work life time. What I can contribute is very small in Physics but as long as I am having fun and professional work it works better than well. I always find nice books from this Physics today, trust me, the book they pick up should be read by few people. I enjoy finding book here about education, textbook, new topics in Physics, science policy, and so on. There is always a book to read next. I remember most now “Asia’s Space Race”, maybe I am going to write something here.
After this trip, I will be having a few experiment in May in Australia. And then, I will have crane training because I have to use crane to setting up experiment. I need to have certification after I attend 5 days crane training. This is the last job to do before I become an instrument scientist, so then I can control almost all equipment on our instrument. I am looking forward to it. In June, I have one important experiment for my project. Then, in July, I have important experiment experiment in France. I’m gonna write these soon. Oh, I forgot. I am going to move in new place right after this trip, May 10th. I am a bit uncomfortable to go to new place and start new life.
