Magnetic correlations and phase diagram below Tc in Cu2OSeO3.
Ac susceptibility measurements showed that the low-temperatures phase diagram of the chiral magnet Cu2OSeO3 is more complex than that of other helical magnets. This is possibly... -
Wide Temperature Range Biskyrmion Magnetic Nanodomains in MnNiGa Study by Sma...
Magnetic skyrmions are topological vortex-like spin objects that were recently discovered in bulk chiral magnetic materials. Last year we discovered super stable magnetic... -
Inside the magnetic polaron
Polarons --- quasiparticles consisting of charge carriers 'dressed' with lattice distortions or magnetic spins --- have been ubiquitous in condensed matter physics. Yet polarons... -
Metastable states of flux line ensembles and the Bragg glass
The behaviour of flux line lattices (FLL) in type-II superconductors are heavily affected by the presence of impurities in the sample. Impurities or crystalline defects reduce... -
Search for orbital magnetic order in Sr2Ir1-xRhxO4 (x=0, 0.07, 0.15)
The 5d iridium-based layered perovskite Sr2IrO4 have attracted interest due to the potential for exotic electronic and magnetic ground states driven by strong spin-orbit... -
Ground states in Ho, Gd and Yb iridate pyrochlores: influence of the single-i...
The Ir-5d electrons in most iridate pyrochlores R2Ir2O7 (R = Y, Rare Earth) exhibit a metal-insulator transition accompanied by an ordering of the Ir sublattice. This induces an... -
Diffuse scattering in the quantum critical spin ladder material Ba2CuTeO6
Ba2CuTeO6 is a newly discovered S=1/2 spin ladder system containing Cu2+ ladders. Our wide range of experiments so far indicate that this material is in very close proximity to... -
Supercriticalilty and the Widom Line in Holmium Titanate
Supercritical phenomena in conventional fluids remains a difficult subject to study experimentally, requiring high temperatures and pressures to realize. An experimental... -
Search for new Skyrmion states in Co6.75Zn6.75Mn6.5
Magnetic Skyrmions are topological magnetic spin-vortex-like objects that form in chiral magnets. In the recently discovered Skyrmion hosts CoxZnyMnz alloys, the randomness of... -
Search for the magnetic skyrmion in non-centrosymmetric Ca3Ru2O7
We propose to search for the magnetic skyrmion in non-centrosymmetric Ca3Ru2O7. The lack of space inversion symmetry along the b-axis in the crystal structure leads to chiral... -
Néel-type skyrmion lattice state etending down to T=0 in GaV4Se8
Magnetic Skyrmions in non-centrosymmetric magnets are topologically stable particle-like objects with remarkable properties that include ultra-low current driven motion,... -
Domains formation in metamagnetic Sr4Ru3O10
We propose to measure the evolution of the large magnetic structures in the triple-layer itinerant ruthenate Sr4RU3O10 in the range of temperature from 2K to 300K, and to follow... -
An investigation of the effects ofB-site cationic disorder on the well-isolat...
Although stuffing in the QSI Yb2Ti2O7 has been shown to play a vital role in the selection of a magnetic g.s., no study before 2012 probed the effects of B-site disorder in a... -
Intra-unit-cell magnetic order in YBa2Cu3O6.6
The cuprates present a mysterious pseudo-gap phase in which an intra-unit-cell magnetic order develops below Tmag, matching the pseudo-gap temperature T*. Evidenced in four... -
Probing the Charge Order Dimensionality in Hole-Doped Cobaltates
We propose to investigate the different types of short-range order (magnetic, structural and charge) present in La2-xSrxCoO4 with x = 0.20 and 0.25. Longitudinal polarized... -
Field-dependent spin correlations in the quantum spin ice candidate Yb2Ti2O7
In our earlier studies, we proposed that Yb2Ti2O7 is a magnetic Coulomb liquid above a transition temperature Tc ~0.21 K, and becomes a ferromagnet via a Bose-Einstein... -
Search for anapoles in Sr2IrO4
Layered 5d transition iridium oxides have attracted huge interest due to unconventional Mott insulating states induced by strong spin-orbit coupling and the possible proximity... -
Short range correlations in novel ferrimagnetic spinel Mn(Sc0.5M0.5)2O4
ScMn2O4 (space group I41/amd) is structurally analogous to Mn3O4 with half of the 8d Mn sites replaced by the small Sc ion, suppressing the Jahn-teller distortion of the BO6... -
Test of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem in spin ice, Ho2Ti2O7

Diffuse magnetic scattering in frustrated fcc antiferromagnet MnS2
The fcc lattice is inherently frustrated with regard to antiferromagnetic ordering, and therefore exhibit many different types of antiferromagnetic phases. Nearest-neighbor...
