William Hayes (academic)
William Hayes (born 12 November 1930, Killorglin) is an Irish-born physicist and academic administrator, active in the United Kingdom. Biography Hayes was educated at Synge Street CBS; University College, Dublin; and the University of Oxford. Hayes came to St John's College, Oxford as an Overseas Scholar in 1955. At St John's, he was Fellow and Tutor from 1960 to 1987; and Principal Bursar from 1977 to 1987. Hayes was a University Lecturer from 1962 to 1985, and Professor from 1985 to 1987. Hayes was President of St John's College, Oxford from 1987 to 2001. He was Pro-Vice-Chancellor of the University of Oxford from 1990 to 2001. Hayes specialised in crystals, and studied imperfections in crystals and defects in solids. He investigated the spectroscopic signatures of imperfections in alkali halides and semiconductors, using varied research techniques that included inelastic light scattering (Raman and Brillouin spectroscopy), magneto-optics (Zeeman effect), nuclear magneti ...

Killorglin
Killorglin () is a town in County Kerry, Ireland. As of the 2016 CSO census, the town's population was 2,199. Killorglin is on the Ring of Kerry tourist route, and annual events include the August Puck Fair festival, which starts with the crowning and parading of a "king" wild goat. History Origins and development The earliest evidence of ancient settlement in the Killorglin area is the presence of prehistoric rock art. These rock carvings are part of a Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age tradition stretching across Atlantic Europe and occur in concentrations around the Iveragh and Dingle peninsulas, with a cluster close to the nearby town of Glenbeigh. There are also a number of ringforts and early Christian ecclesiastical sites in the townlands of Dromavally and Castleconway. The ruins of Killorglin Castle, later known as Castle Conway, are located close to what is now the centre of the town. It was built in the early 13th century by Maurice FitzGerald, 2nd Lord of Offaly. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Muon Spin Resonance
Muon spin spectroscopy, also known as µSR, is an experimental technique based on the implantation of spin-polarized muons in matter and on the detection of the influence of the atomic, molecular or crystalline surroundings on their spin motion. The motion of the muon spin is due to the magnetic field experienced by the particle and may provide information on its local environment in a very similar way to other magnetic resonance techniques, such as electron spin resonance (ESR or EPR) and, more closely, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Introduction Muon spin spectroscopy is an atomic, molecular and condensed matter experimental technique that exploits nuclear detection methods. In analogy with the acronyms for the previously established spectroscopies NMR and ESR, muon spin spectroscopy is also known as µSR. The acronym stands for muon spin rotation, relaxation, or resonance, depending respectively on whether the muon spin motion is predominantly a rotation (more precisel ...

Alumni Of University College Dublin
Alumni (singular: alumnus (masculine) or alumna (feminine)) are former students of a school, college, or university who have either attended or graduated in some fashion from the institution. The feminine plural alumnae is sometimes used for groups of women. The word is Latin and means "one who is being (or has been) nourished". The term is not synonymous with "graduate"; one can be an alumnus without graduating ( Burt Reynolds, alumnus but not graduate of Florida State, is an example). The term is sometimes used to refer to a former employee or member of an organization, contributor, or inmate. Etymology The Latin noun ''alumnus'' means "foster son" or "pupil". It is derived from PIE ''*h₂el-'' (grow, nourish), and it is a variant of the Latin verb ''alere'' "to nourish".Merriam-Webster: alumnus .. Separate, but from the ...

People Educated At Synge Street CBS
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...
