Transition metal hydrides are critically involved in many stoichiometric and catalytic organometallic reactions, such as hydrogenation. In these reactions a crucial step is the...

This proposal is to measure the evolution of the magnetic structures of a series of iron oxide chalcogenides and compare the structures as a function of cation sizes and with...

Ni-Mn based Heusler alloys are magnetic multifunctional materials currently under intense research efforts thanks to their unique coexistence of a reversible structural...

Ni-Mn based Heusler alloys with composition related to the stoichiometry Ni2MnX, with X belonging to the IIIA-VA chemical species, are widely considered as a class of...

The relationship between spin and charge correlations (stripes) continues to be one of the major issues in high temperature (cuprate) superconductivity. Under some circumstances...

The spin Jahn-Teller effect stabilises 3D magnetic order in an otherwise frustrated system via magnetoelastic coupling, spontaneously at the magnetic phase transition. Examples...

Ni rich layered oxides are promising cathode materials for Li-ion batteries since they fulfil the energy density requirements of the automobile industry but they tend to degrade...

The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and the WISH instrument team has worked together to enable simultaneous real-time high resolution (powder and single crystal) neutron...

This experiment addresses the study of electron transport in zinc-hexadecafluoro-phthalocyanine (F16-ZnPc), a model n-type phthalocyanine employed in organic electronics, using...

Lead based oxides are wildly used in material science in order to obtain non-centrosymmetric structures that eventually lead to polar or piezoelectric distortion, which coupled...

We propose to apply uniaxial strain to induce a spin-density wave (SDW) modulation in CeAuSb2. Neutron diffraction measurements show this system has a tendency to order along...

We propose to perform neutron diffraction experiment under high pressure condition, using a single crystal of CuO on WISH beamline. This monoxide is known as a multiferroic...

Multiferroic materials in which strongly coupled magnetic and ferroelectric order parameters coexist attract considerable interest. Below 90 K, CaMn7O12 possesses the largest...

CeFe2Al10 belongs to CeT2Al10 family (T: Ru, Os, Fe), which exhibits Kondo insulating behavior, with an unusual competition of strongly anisotropic crystal-field and exchange...

CeIrSi3 belongs to the family of noncentrosymmetric heavy-fermion superconductors, which have attracted significant attention for their distinct unconventional superconducting...

Despite the wide practical interest in particulate colloids there have been few studies that exploit the advantages of reflection and neutron scattering to study adsorption of...

The proposal aims to further investigate the transition from commensurate magnetic order to incommensurate magnetic and charge stripe order in the family of compounds,...

The coexistence of magnetic order and valence fluctuations is not so common in a Kondo lattice system. Ce2Rh3Sn5 has a peculiar orthorhombic crystal structure in which Ce ions...

Although the systems of choice for the study of electronic correlations have traditionally been 3d transition metal oxides, the interest has recently been extended to 4d and 5d...

We have synthesized the polycrystalline R2BaCuO5 (R = Dy & Ho) and studied its physical properties. Indeed, both the studied compounds exhibit the polarization below rare...
