The crystal structure and magnetic properties of Sr2PrCr2BO9 (B=Sb, Nb, Ta)
In previous work we described La3Ni2SbO9 as the first example of a relaxor ferromagnet. We aim to understand what is special about La3Ni2SbO9 and synthesise new (A,A)3M2BO9... -
Origin of the spin pseudogap in a Ni-doped Heisenberg AF spin-1/2 chain
Heisenberg antiferromagnetic (HAF) S = ½ chains are famous for their gapless magnetic excitation spectrum. Interestingly, in SrCuO2 and Sr2CuO3, which are some of the best... -
Muon spin rotation study of LixFeyAs and NaFeAs superconductors
We will examine the magnetic and superconducting properties of these two novel superconducting systems using muon spin rotation and relaxation experiments. Stoichiometric LiFeAs... -
Muon Spin Relaxation studies of Ni(TCNQ)2
Molecular ferromagnets offer great potential as they are synthesized at low temperatures and offer the possibility functionalization. Ni(TCNQ)2 is such a molecular ferromagnet,... -
Spin dynamics in the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid system SrCo2V2O8
SrCo2V2O8 is believed to belong to the same rare universality class as Tomonaga-Luttinger liquids, which may be descrived by the 1D XXZ model. In SrCo2V2O8, this is accomplished... -
Studying the limits of the quantum Griffiths phase in Ni,V
A randomly diluted ferromagnet has its transition temperature Tc suppressed to a quantum critical point. Between the Tc of the diluted material and that of the undiluted... -
