Is dynamic asymmetry the essential ingredient in the (universal?) 'strong-fra...
We want to elucidate whether the so-called ¿strong-fragile¿ transition reported for water mixtures is a universal phenomenon driven by confinement effects originated by the... -
Probing the nuclear and magnetic structure of a complex ferromagnetic semicon...
Understanding the structures of complex materials is key understanding their properties. Here we wish to determine the structure, both atomic and magnetic, of a complex... -
Investigation of the magnetic structure in Ir-based double perovskites Nd2CoI...
In the earlier studies, so far, condensed matter physicists and materials scientists have mainly explored the interesting physical properties of Ir-based double perovskites... -
Intra-block magnetic excitations in KFe0.8Ag1.2Te2
KFe0.8Ag1.2Te2 is made of 2x2 squares of Fe atoms, upon lowering temperature the system spontaneously undergoes a transition that breaks the fourfold rotational symmetry. A... -
Investigation of Jahn-Teller assisted polaron collapse beyond the percolation...
Polaron-mediated colossal magneto-resistance (CMR) was predicted decades ago but never been experimentally established unambigously, despite the 'universal' existence of... -
Proton dynamics in novel organic ferroelectric materials
The vast majority of known ferroelectrics are inorganic compounds such as barium titanate and potassium dihydrogen phosphate. Contrary to naïve expectation, ferroelectricity in... -
Negative thermal expansion in the rutile phase of ZnF2
It has recently been discovered than the rutile phase of zinc fluoride shows negative thermal expansion along all three crystallographic axes. What is highly unusual about this...
