A new cryomagnetic system will be developed to polarise frozen Xenon. The student will investigate a range of phenomena in magnetically levitated systems. These will include studies of the behaviour of granular systems and fluids. The work involves collaboration with life scientists, on the behaviour of biological systems in zero gravity, and minerals engineers, on the use of high magnetic fields for particle separation. The project is supported by Oxford Instruments.
