Quantum magnetism in lanthanide gallium garnet magnetocaloric materials
Geometrically frustrated lanthanide gallium garnets find practical applications as low temperature magnetocalorics, but the competing interactions in these materials may give... -
Neutron analysis of the structure of SrAl2O4 from 300 to 1273 K.
SrAl2O4 is a stuffed tridymite that has attracted a good deal of interest, since doping with Eu2+ leads to a material with elastic-luminescent response. The structure and phase... -
Structural Studies of Li(ND3)n11BD4
On exposure to ammonia, Li(11)BD4 forms the ammoniate Li(11)BD4(ND3)n. Our recent experiment (RB820252) has shown that there are four distinct crystalline phases in the... -
Nature of the ground state of Dy2Ti2O7 spin ice
Spin ice (SI) is a state of matter characterized by a residual (Pauling) entropy and unusual correlations. The huge interest in SI materials from the magnetism community stems... -
Structural phase diagram of rare earth substituted multiferroic BiFeO3 - revi...
BiFeO3 is the most widely studied multiferroic and rare earth doping overcomes problems associated with phase metastability and leakage which have hampered applications. We... -
Neutron diffraction and µSR investigation on YbPd
YbPd crystallizes in the cubic CsCl-type structure and reported to have magnetically ordered ground state with the mixed valence of the Yb ion. Further, it under goes through... -
Alpha-CaCr2O4: magnetic study of a new case of triangulaire Cr-lattice
We propose to study a layered oxide in which chromium cations describe a triangular array. Itseems us that no magnetic data are reported up to now for this alpha-CaCr2O4...
