  • Interview with Lady Soames “FATHER ALWAYS CAME FIRST, SECOND and THIRD”
    ! An Interview with Lady Soames “FATHER ALWAYS CAME FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD” Finest Hour 116, Autumn 2002 As Churchill’s daughter, Mary Soames had the run of 10 Downing Street and helped arrange dinner with Stalin. She talks to Graham Turner about eighty rich and varied years. Graham Turner is a journalist whom we knew years ago when he covered the motor industry and wrote a penetrating, oft-quoted book, The Leyland Papers. He has since moved to weightier subjects for the Daily Telegraph, by whose kind permission this article is reprinted. “I don’t think I was necessarily intended,” said Mary Soames, Winston and Clementine Churchill’s youngest daughter, “but I suppose I was the child of consolation. My parents were shattered when their third daughter, Marigold—who was only two and a half years old—died in 1921. It’s clear from letters my father wrote to my mother that, when I arrived the following year, he was delighted that the nursery had started again.” ! Mary Soames The way in which Marigold died was to have a decisive influence on Lady Soames’s own life. “Mummy had left her in the charge of a French nursery governess, Mademoiselle Rose, while she went to stay with the Duke and Duchess of Westminster at their home in Cheshire. Marigold, who was known as “Duckadilly” in the family, developed a very sore throat but, even when she became really ill, the governess still waited a day or two before sending for my mother. By that time, there was nothing even a specialist could do for her.

  • High-Throughput Design of Magnetic Materials
    High-throughput Design of Magnetic Materials Hongbin Zhang Institute of Materials Science, TU Darmstadt, 64287 Darmstadt, Germany (Dated: August 28, 2020) Materials design based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations is an emergent field of great potential to accelerate the development and employment of novel materials. Magnetic mate- rials play an essential role in green energy applications as they provide efficient ways of harvesting, converting, and utilizing energy. In this review, after a brief introduction to the major functional- ities of magnetic materials, we demonstrated the fundamental properties which can be tackled via high-throughput DFT calculations, with a particular focus on the current challenges and feasible solutions. Successful case studies are summarized on several classes of magnetic materials, followed by bird-view perspectives for the future. Contents Glossary of acronyms I. Introduction 2 2D: two-dimensional AFM: antiferromagnetic II. Main applications of magnetic materials 3 A. Main applications 3 AHC: anomalous Hall conductivity III. Criticality and sustainability 4 ANC: anomalous Nernst conductivity IV. Main challenges and possible solutions 5 AMR: anisotropic magnetoresistance A. New compounds and phase diagram 5 B. Correlated nature of magnetism 7 ARPES: angle-resolved photoemission C. Magnetic ordering and ground states 8 BZ: Brillouin zone D. Magnetic fluctuations 10 E.
