| Professor J. Paul Attfield FRSC from University of Edinburgh joined the editorial board of Materials Chemistry Frontiers in 2016. His research focuses on synthesis, structural studies, and property measurements for electronic and magnetic materials. |
J Paul Attfield
Paul Attfield holds a Chair in Materials Science at Extreme Conditions at the School of Chemistry, University of Edinburgh and he is the Director of the Centre for Science at Extreme Conditions. He received B.A. and D.Phil. degrees from Oxford University, and he was a Co-Director of the Interdisciplinary Research Centre in Superconductivity at the University of Cambridge during 1991-2003. He received the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Meldola and Corday-Morgan medals and Peter Day award, and he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 2006 and of the Royal Society in 2014.
His early research contributions included pioneering resonant X-ray scattering experiments of cation and valence ordering, and studies of disorder effects in functional oxides. Current research is centred on electronic and magnetic materials; a recent highlight was the solution of the 70-year old ‘Verwey’ problem of charge order in magnetite – the original magnetic material.
