Doping-induced energy gap in a quantum spin chain
SrCuO2 is a prototypical S = 1/2 antiferromagnetic (AF) Heisenberg 1D spin chain system. High-resolution neutron scattering studies has already successfully revealed the gapless... -
Study of phonon density of states in PGEC titanate thermoelectrics
To understand the thermal conductivity suppression within PGEC titanate oxide thermoelectrics we hope to complement theoretical calculations performed on several perovskites... -
Effect of electron doping on the magnetic dynamics of the d^4 Mott insulator ...
Oxides containing heavy transition-metal ions with four d electrons (d^4) surrounded by an octahedron of oxygen ions have recently been predicted to display a novel type of... -
Magnetic Excitations of Isolated and Pairs of Co Ions and in MgO
The magnetic excitations will be studied in a powdered sample of 3% CoO in 97% MgO in order to to study the excitations of isolated Co ions and of isolated pairs of Co ions.... -
Determination of the magnetic interactions of low-dimensional binary metal th...
Magnetic molecular framework materials, where the magnetic metal centres are linked together by molecules rather than single atoms, are a very exciting class of materials, as... -
4f electronic states of the filled skutterudite compound PrFe4Sb12 synthesize...
Crystals of the filled skutterudite PrFe4Sb12 with the 73~87% Pr-site filling fractions prepared under ambient pressure show some magnetic ordering around 5 K and their... -
The relationship between the pseudogap and magnetic excitations in La2-xSrxCuO4
This proposal is part of an ongoing project to relate the magnetic excitations to other electronic properties of the cuprate superconductors. We have recently proposed that the... -
Spin dynamics in the zig-zag ladder beta-CaCr2O4
We propose to investigate the spin dynamics in the frustrated antiferromagnet beta-CaCr2O4. Its structure consist in one dimensional chains of Cr+3 forming the legs of zig-zag... -
INS as a dual-probe of giant magnetic anisotropy and vibrational density of s...
Monometallic complexes of paramagnetic transition metal or lanthanide metal ions have found to exhibit single-molecule magnet (SMM) behaviour with an appreciably enhanced... -
Paramagnetic excitations in BaFe2As2 at high temperature
One fundamental issue in the iron-based superconductors is whether the conventional local moment Heisenberg model is sufficient to describe magnetism in these materials, or... -
The effect of a vanishing pseudogap on the magnetic excitations in overdoped ...
One of the major issues in high temperature superconductivity is the nature of the so called pseudogap phase. A related question is whether the pseudogap controls the evolution...
