The f-electron metal Yb2Pt2Pb is best thought of as a one dimensional (1D) quantum spin chain system, despite the fact that the magnetic moments are large and anisotropic with...

The proposal is to measure the low-energy spin dynamics of the ferromagnetic superconductor UGe2 at the pressure which maximizes superconducting transition temperature and at...

The Mn3Ge compound have recently attracted giant attention due to discovery of large anomalous Hall effect. This effect is believed to originate in the non-collinear...

We propose to investigate the high-energy (above 10 meV) excitations using either the MERLIN or MAPS chopper instruments. CaFe2O4 is interesting for several reasons. First, it...

The experimental identification of quantum spin liquids (QSL) in real materials has been one of the challenging and fundamental goals in condensed matter physics. The newly...

YbNiSn is an Ising ferromagnet with non-colinear spins that undergoes a first order magnetic transition in low magnetic field (0.9 T). The transition is associated with strong...

Nature abhors disorder and degeneracy at low temperature. Designing materials that confront this requirement can therefore lead to new states in which the degeneracy is lifted....

This proposal is part of our research programme to explore the interplay of thermal and quantum fluctuations near zero-temperature quantum phase transitions. Here we plan to use...

This proposal addresses the formation of a metamagnetic phase transition in PrPtAl. PrPtAl exhibits induced moment magnetism where singlet-mixing is stabilised by inter-site...

We propose to conduct a high resolution neutron inelastic scattering study of the ferromagnetic superconductor UCoGe. Initial polarised results obtained at 4F1 (Saclay) are...

A strong Q-dependence of the magnetic response at characteristic energy of EK~kBTK (TK is a Kondo temperature) has been observed in recent inelastic neutron scattering studies...

Pyrochlore compounds are considered to have an ideal crystal structure for 3D geometrical frustration, resulting in novel ground states. Spin ice, is one of the most striking...

This proposal addresses the formation of a metamagnetic phase transition in PrPtAl. PrPtAl exhibits induced moment magnetism where singlet-mixing is stabilised by inter-site...

LixCoO2 is used extensively in portable batteries in laptops and mobile phones, but the scarcity of Li means that alternative materials are required. Structurally related...

Recent high resolution spectroscopy has found countable and discrete excitations in the two dimensional magnet CaFe2O4. This work aims to track these excitations to higher...

Magnetically modulated structures have been predicted to form close to quantum critical points in a number of recent theories, although there are no experimental examples of...

The proposal requests time to measure the low-energy excitations in CaFe2O4 as a function of temperature. Previous experiments have observed a series of in-gap states at high...

The proposal requests time on OSIRIS to measure the low-energy magnetic fluctuations in CeRhSi3. This compound is a noncentrosymmetric superconductor under pressures of ~10...

In SrEr2O4 the magnetic Er ions are linked through a network of triangles and hexagons, where geometrical frustration can arise, provided that some exchange interactions are...

Low-dimensional quantum spin systems with introduced disorder are a fascinating playground for investigations of the interplay between quantum effects, strong correlations and...
