Zeolites are microporous materials that are used as heterogeneous acid catalysts in reactions. It is important to study reactive intermediates in zeolites in order to understand...

The charge transfer compound CuTCNQ (TCNQ = 7,7,8,8-Tetracyanoquinodimethane) exhibits switching between two electrical resistance states when subject to an electric field. It...

One of the most studied skyrmion-hosting materials is the magnetoelectric insulator Cu2OSeO3 which raises the exciting prospect of manipulating the skyrmion-phase through the...

In a typical magnetic material the interactions between neighbouring magnetic moments will tend to lead to their ordered alignment throughout the entire structure as it is...

This proposal is part of our project to investigate the unusual physics of 5d transition metal oxides. In particular, we are studying two samples of the chemical composition...

Recent investigations of physical properties of ACo2As2 (A = Ca, Sr, Ba) indicate that Co-based arsenides could be a potential parent compound like the parent AFe2As2. While...

This proposal aims to study the avoided level crossing resonances (ALCs) of the amorphous polymer PTAA, with chain length 80. Previous measurements on PTAA have studied a...

Motivated by work showing that magnetic coupling between TCNQ anions in potassium TCNQ (KTCNQ) can be changed simply by changing the aromatic substituents, we seek to qunatify...
