Overview
Current research is focused on understanding fundamental properties of solids and developing new experimental techniques and data-analysis methods for investigating these properties. The three main themes of current research are:
1. Development and application of techniques to allow crystal structures of organic solids (including pharmaceuticals and biological materials) to be determined directly from powder X-ray diffraction data, thus circumventing the need to prepare individual crystals of sufficient size and quality for single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
2. Advancing new in-situ solid-state NMR strategies for monitoring the time-evolution of crystallization processes.
3. Investigating structural properties of anisotropic materials using polarized X-ray beam techniques, with particular interest in developing the new technique of X-ray Birefringence Imaging (the X-ray analogue of the polarizing optical microscope).

Research
Our current research is focused on understanding fundamental properties of solids and developing new experimental techniques and data-analysis methods for investigating these properties. The three main themes of our current research are described below:
1. Structure Determination from Powder X-ray Diffraction Data
While single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) is the most powerful experimental technique for structure determination of crystalline materials, the requirement to prepare a single crystal of sufficient size and quality imposes a limitation on the scope of this technique. For materials that cannot be grown as suitable single crystals, it is necessary instead to tackle structure determination using powder XRD data. However, structure determination using the one-dimensional diffraction data in a powder XRD pattern is significantly more challenging than structure determination from single-crystal XRD data. The challenges are particularly severe in the case of organic materials, and as recently as the early 1990s, no organic crystal structure had been determined directly from powder XRD data. In 1994, we initiated the direct-space strategy for structure solution from powder XRD data, which overcomes some of the challenges associated with structure determination of organic materials from powder XRD data. We develop our own computer software for direct-space structure solution, using a global optimization approach based on a genetic algorithm search strategy. We are applying this technique to carry out structure determination of materials selected from a wide range of scientific fields, including biologically relevant materials (e.g. amino acids and peptides), pharmaceuticals, pigments, and new materials prepared by solid-state processes (e.g. mechanochemical methods, de-solvation processes and solid-state chemical reactions) that intrinsically generate polycrystalline powder samples.
Our current research in this field is also focused on the development of multi-technique strategies that incorporate complementary information from solid-state NMR data and periodic DFT calculations within the protocol for structure determination of micro-crystalline organic materials from powder XRD data, enabling structures of increasing complexity to be determined. Recent research is also incorporating three-dimensional electron diffraction (3D-ED) data within this multi-technique protocol.
2. In-situ NMR Studies of Crystallization Processes
We are currently developing and applying in-situ solid-state NMR strategies for monitoring the time-evolution of crystallization processes, with the aim of understanding the sequence of solid phases (e.g. polymorphs) that are formed as a function of time during crystallization. By exploiting differences in NMR relaxation properties between solid and solution states, this method allows the crystallized solid phase to be observed selectively. We have applied this strategy to reveal the transient existence of meta-stable polymorphs in a wide range of crystallization systems. In 2014, we developed a new in-situ NMR strategy, called CLASSIC NMR (Combined Liquid And Solid-State In-situ Crystallization NMR), which allows the simultaneous measurement of both liquid-state NMR spectra and solid-state NMR spectra as a function of time during crystallization processes. This technique yields insights into the complementary changes that occur in the solid and liquid phases during crystallization from solution. The CLASSIC NMR technique has also been applied to establish the role of amorphous phases as transient intermediates in crystallization pathways.
3. X-ray Birefringence and X-ray Dichroism of Materials
While the phenomenon of birefringence is well established and widely applied in the case of linearly polarized visible light (e.g. in the polarizing optical microscope), the study of birefringence using linearly polarized X-rays has been virtually unexplored. In 2011, our first studies of birefringence using linearly polarized X-rays (from a synchrotron radiation source) demonstrated that, under appropriate experimental conditions, X-ray birefringence depends on the orientations of specific types of bond in materials (e.g. C–Br bonds, when using X-rays tuned to the energy of the bromine K-edge). These early results suggested that X-ray birefringence may be exploited to determine the orientational distributions of specific bonds in materials, leading to our applications of X-ray birefringence to accurately establish changes in C–Br bond orientations associated with order-disorder phase transitions. In 2014, we reported (Science, 2014, 344, 1013-1016) an experimental set-up that enables X-ray birefringence data to be recorded in a spatially resolved manner, giving rise to the new technique of X-ray Birefringence Imaging. In many respects, X-ray Birefringence Imaging is the X-ray analogue of the polarizing optical microscope. Our research has demonstrated that X-ray Birefringence Imaging is a sensitive technique for imaging local orientational properties of anisotropic materials (e.g. the size, spatial distribution and temperature dependence of domain structures), including solid host-guest systems, liquid crystals and mechanically deformed materials. We are also exploring other aspects of the interaction of linearly polarized X-rays with anisotropic materials, including the phenomenon of X-ray linear dichroism.
