Measuring magnetic excitations in K(NbO)Cu4(PO4)4
I am working on a low dimensional quantum magnet family. A member of it, KNb, is a good experimental realisation of the squarelattice. It appears that this compound has a... -
Spin Excitations and "Hourglass" Dispersion in the Model High-Tc superconduct...
The unique "hourglass"-type dispersion observed within several classes of hole-doped cuprates has garnered considerable theoretical and experimental interest. Here we propose to... -
Tuning confinement potential of spinons in an Ising chain using magnetic fields
The Ising chain realises the fundamental paradigm of spin fractionalization, where locally flipping a spin creates two kinks (spinons) that can separate away at no energy cost,... -
Rattling modes in new thermoelectrics
NaxCoO2 has an exceptional combination of thermoelectric properties, including low thermal conductivity, and it is currently under consideration for use in power recovery and as... -
Understanding the ground state wavefunction in PrPtAl and YbNiSn
The proposal addreses the compounds PrPtAl and YbNiSn. Both systems are canted ferromagnets with both materials undergoing moment reorientation transitions as a function of... -
Phonon scattering and the thermal conductivity of zinc oxide
Understanding the thermal conductivity of zinc oxide is of central importance in assessing its potential for a wide variety of applications in optoelectronics, power electronics... -
Low energy spin wave of BiFeO3 single crystal
Of all multiferroic materials, BiFeO3 stands out particularly with its both magnetic and ferroelectric transition temperatures above room temperatures, more interestingly having... -
Spin-wave study of a new pyrochlore Heisenberg antiferromagnet - Gd2Pt2O7
We propose a study of the spin-waves of a newly synthesised AF pyrochlore antiferromagnet, Gd2Pt2O7 on LET in zero field. Previous polarized neutron diffraction experiments on... -

Inelastic neutron scattering study of exchange disorder in CaFe2O4 and CaFe1....
We would like to investigate polycrystalline CaFe2O4 which undergoes two magnetic transitions to a B phase below 190 K and to a A phase below 160 K. Both phases coexist in a... -
Magnetic fluctuations and ordering in two-dimensional and ferromagnetic Cr2Ge...
The proposal requests time to measure the magnetic fluctuations in a 2 dimensional ferromagnet where the dimensionality is set by weak van der Waals forces. We have previously... -
The origin of ultra-low thermal conductivity in the thermal barrier material ...
Thermal barrier materials are used in modern turbines to enable them to run above the melting temperature of the turbine blades. However, to go to higher temperatures (and... -
Study of hybridization gap and insulator-metal transition in caged compounds ...
Heavy fermion compounds with a small energy gap opening in the strongly hybridised 4f-band at EF are currently under intensive investigations. Recently some of us have... -
Magnetic excitations in multiferroic hybrid perovskites
The novel electric, magnetic and multiferroic properties of the metal formate perovskites have resulted in substantial scientific attention over the past fifteen years. Their... -
Spin-orbit transitions in CoV3O8
Strong orbital mixing resulting from local distortions in the crystal field can mix higher energy orbital states with the ground state. We propose to characterise this mixing in... -
Coating dependance of the phonon density of states in LiFePO4 nanoparticles
LiFePO4 (LFP) is a commercially used Li ion battery material for high power applications. Particle shape and surface play an important role in the Li diffusion and thus the... -
