Our neutron study on YbAl3C3 reveals the presence of two well defined magnetic excitations at 1.5 and 3 meV at 4 K due to spin-dimer formation. Interestingly the specific heat... -
Investigating the structural features and magnetic order in novel perovskite ...
Through low temperature fluorination of AFeO3-x (A=Sr, Ba) it is possible to prepare the oxide fluorides AFeO2F, which are antiferromagnetically ordered at room temperature. In... -
An externally controllable, purely magnetic interface in spatially doped FeRh
We intend the measure the neutron reflectivity of a purely magnetic interface generated at a ferromagnetic/antiferromagnet phase boundary within an FeRh epilayer, a material... -
1D magnetic structure of a multiferroic metal-formate perovskite
The metal-organic framework perovskite analogue guanadinium copper(II) formate has achieved considerable recent attention for its multiferroic properties and consequent... -
The effect of magnetic structure on ordred/disordered IrMn3 exchange-biasing ...
The exchange biasing effect in the thin film IrMn3/Fe depends strongly on the degree of structural ordering of the underling antiferromagnetic IrMn3 pinning layer. In this work... -
