Proposals, manuscripts, and, experiments

I had a good rest today. I am getting ready for tomorrow.

The most important job tomorrow is writing another experimental proposal. I have a day to finish, I hope I can be ready by tomorrow so I can send it to my collaborators.

I am a bit worried about this proposal because I have not worked on this compound before so I don’t have basic ideas of this system. I need to investigate a bit. But I think it will be a good project. These days I have many interesting projects so I would like to finish them one by one. I am very interested in this work.

The proposal deadline will be February 15th. Then I have a polarized neutron scattering experiment maybe around March 14th (depends on other experiments). I want to organize the time well so I can prepare well and also I can write well.

The polarized neutron scattering experiment will be great if succeed. So I can finish the paper for sure. This time, I would like to confirm the magnetic structure which can not be determined by unpolarized neutron scattering techniques. If I can determine the magnetic structure without ambiguity, I can surely publish the paper.

Anyways, after the proposals deadline, I will keep writing and hope I can improve my skills for writing scientific papers.
