We will search for spin-orbit transitions of the Co3+ ions in LaCoO3. The ground state is a non-magnetic singlet, but there continues to be a debate about the nature of the...

We are currently investigating multiferroic system RCrTiO5 (R= rare-earth) using bulk measurements and have found interesting magnetic properties. To understand the nature of...

Zeolites are meso- and nano-porous framework materials with applications in many industries. The zeolite framework consists of corner-sharing tetrahedral units. The catalytic...

The unique "hourglass"-type dispersion observed within several classes of hole-doped cuprates has garnered considerable theoretical and experimental interest. Here we propose to...

Metastable multiferroic perovskites of the BiFe1-xScxO3 system, stabilised by high-pressure and high-temperature synthesis, demonstrate irreversible phase transformations upon...

Magnetic ordering in frustrated systems with large magnetic interactions remains a key question in condensed matter physics. Despite strong theoretical and experimental quest to...

Cupric(II) oxide (CuO) has recently found to be both antiferromagnetic and ferroelectric in temperature region from 213 K to 230 K. This high temperature multiferroic material...

LiFePO4 is cathode material for Li ion batteries. One of the key functional properties is the Li-ion diffusion. Theoretical calculations showed that Li diffusion along the [010]...

Ferroelectric tetragonal tungsten bronze oxides (TTBs) have been extensively studied for their application dielectric and non-linear optical devices. TTBs often exhibit...

The rare-earth oxides of the general formula A2B2O7, with A being a rare-earth ion (Er in our case) and B a d- or p-metal (B = Zr or Ir), have been extensively studied for their...

Increasing global population, global warming and depletion of fossil fuels have resulted in a growing need for better energy storage. Lithium-ion batteries are promising devices...

The mineral Libethenite, Cu2PO4OH, is an ideal system in which to study low dimensional quantum magnetism. The spin-gapped nature of this material has been the subject of...

We propose to study an effect of uniaxial pressure on a magnetic structure of triangular antiferromagnet PdCrO2. The experiment will mark a technical milestone in development of...

The melilite family are new xoide ion conductors with high mobility at low temperatures. Average structures suggest that the ability of the structure to accomodate high levels...

This proposal is a continuation of Rapid Access experiment RB170007 done on MARI in September 2016, as recommended by MARI beam scientists. This experiment was done to establish...

In a successful recent experiment on IN5 (ILL), we have been able to show that in contrast to commonly accepted wisdom, the excitation gap in nearly optimally doped...

TbMnO3 attracts special attention due to its large magnetoelectric coupling, polarization flop and ferro-paramagnetic phase transition, both induced by magnetic field. Despite...

We have devoted much efforts to investigating the doping evolution of the magnetic excitations in electron doped BaFe2-xNixAs2 (x=0-0.6). Spin excitations for x=0-0.6 have been...

We propose to measure the high energy magnetic dispersion of CuO. At high energies, CuO exhibits quasi-1D spin-1/2 chain magnetic behaviour. Our previous studies have revealed...

CeAuAl3 and CeCuAl3 compounds crystallize in the tetragonal I4mm, BaNiSn3-type and display interesting bulk properties. Here we propose to investigate the magnetic structures of...
