The title compound is expected to be a spin ice close to an instability which stabilises magnetic order. We can determine its spin Hamiltonian precisely by measuring the crystal...

Ba4Mn3O10 and Sr4Mn3O10 crystallize in an orthorhombic crystal structure consisting of corrugated layers containing Mn3O12 polydedra. The magnetic susceptibility of the...

We have begun an experimental program to investigate the denaturing of DNA, using scattering techniques, to test statistical mechanical models for the moelcule. It is believed...

Recently, our neutron scattering experiments on electron doped BaFe2-xNixAs2 and hole doped Ba1-xKxFe2As2 suggest that the presence of both high-energy spin excitations giving...

The object of this proposal is to measure the partial vibrational density of states (VDOS) within the incoherent approximation for the archetypal 'strong' network forming glass...

Cerium-based Kondo lattice compounds have received great attention, owing mostly to the variety of exotic ground states that they exhibit (e.g., unconventional...

Exotic ordering phenomena resulting from magnetic frustration continue to attract attention as newtypes of frustrated compounds emerge. A very recent development in this field...

Thermoelectric materials are able to directly convert a difference of temperature into electricity and vice-versa. Hence, they can be employed either in energy harvesting from...

We have discovered an unusual magnetovolume effect in the 6H-perovskite oxides Ba3BiIr2O9 and Ba3BiRu2O9. These compounds contain isolated face-sharing bi-octahedral dimers...

We aim to determine the ligand field parameters of the [HoPc2]¿ complex belonging to the family of lanthanide double decker (Ln=Dy3+,Ho3+,Tb3+) single-molecule magnets (SMM),...

NaxCoO2 has exceptional thermoelectric properties, including low thermal conductivity, and it is currently under consideration for use in power recovery applications and as a...

We have recently prepared mesoporous forms of various metals oxides. In some cases the imposition of a mesostructure changes other properties of the material significantly. One...

While we now have a complete picture of the average local and intermediate structures of the various amorphous ices, their dynamic behaviour (glass transition and defect...

We propose to use inelastic neutron scattering to search for the existence of spin fluctuations in two iron phosphide superconductors, (La,Ca)FePO and Sr2ScFePO3. The objective...

The single band Hubbard model is considerably the simplest effective model that includes both the delocalizing/hopping energy and the on-site interaction for describing strongly...

It has been argued that the tetragonal-to-orthorhombic structural transition found in all the parent phases of the Fe-pnictide superconductors is driven by frustration, and...

Spin dynamics in multi-q noncoplanar ordered structures (e.g. skyrmion lattices) is an active topic of research. The cubic perovskite SrFeO3 has a variety of multiple-q magnetic...

Our recent inelastic neutron scattering (INS) study using MARI clearly reveals the presence of a sharp inelastic excitation near 8 meV and 11 meV in CeT2Al10 (T=Ru and Os)...

It is well known that water is the medium in which the overwhelming majority of biological processes take place. In cell membranes water molecules are thought to be essential to...

RMnAsO (R = Ce and La) are isostructural compounds with Fe-based oxypnictides, but has a unique properties as Mott insulator unlike the nonsuperconducting parent compounds of...
