Magnetic excitations in the S=1/2 ferromagnetic semiconductor Lu2V2O7
Lu2V2O7 is a rare example of an S=1/2 pyrochlore. The fact that it is a ferromagnet with Tc=70 K belies the fact that it has some truly remarkable properties. These include the... -
Neutron scattering and muSR studies of magnetic phenomena in YFe2Al10: case s...
In strongly correlated electron systems, the proximity to magnetic ordering has been of special interest. Magnetism in this class of systems is often suppressed by the Kondo... -
Vibrational properties of Vanadium and Zirconium based metal hydrides using a...
Inelastic neutron scattering has proven to be reliable tool to investigate the phonon structure of hydrides. E.g., it was shown that the vibrational structure of Ca(BH4)2 has a... -

Considering interesting physical properties observed in CeCuxAl4-x our aim is to investigate the stability of vibron excitations, already observed in CeCuAl3, as a function of... -
The dynamics of the calcium-ammonia-graphite decomposition with hydrogen
Graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) have potential as hydrogen storage materials, from direct physisorption of H2 or as a high surface area nanostructured host for metal... -
Electron Spin Relaxation Measurements of Amorphous PTAA
The proposed experiment aims to determine the electron spin relaxation rate of the amorphous polymer PTAA as a function of temperature using the HIFI muon spectrometer. For... -
Spin gap and possible spin-dimer formation in Ce(Os1-xFex)2Al10 (X=0 to 1)
Our neutron study using MARI/MERLIN on Ce(Ru1-xFex) 2Al10 reveals very interesting magnetic excitations and a manuscript is ready to submit to PRB. In x=0 (TN=27 K) a... -
Crystal Field Splitting in Dysprosium Double Decker Single Molecule Magnets
We aim to elucidate the low-energy electronic structure of two distinct dysprosium bisphthalocyanine single-molecule magnets by direct observation of crystal field excitations... -
Inelastic neutron scattering study on CeMnAsO and LaMnAsO
RMnAsO (R = Ce and La) are isostructural compounds with Fe-based oxypnictides, but has a unique properties as Mott insulator unlike the nonsuperconducting parent compounds of... -
