She made a significant impact upon our understanding of the fundamental magnetic properties of materials through her contributions to both the development and exploitation of polarised neutron diffraction and advanced spherical neutron polarimetry techniques for the precise determination of complex magnetic structures and spin density distributions. She has played a key role in developing and establishing a computational framework, namely the extremely powerful and extensively used Cambridge Crystallography Subroutine Libraries (CCSL), to facilitate structure determination from crystalline diffraction. Professor Brown is also very well known to the European neutron scattering community for the expert guidance, support and training in single crystal and magnetic diffraction that she has tirelessly provided at the Institut Laue Langevin over the last thirty years.
