Manganites oxides are of great interest in material sciences for the variety of physical properties they exhibit in connexion with possible long range spin, charge and orbital...

Novel functionality in condensed matter physics is one of fastest developing fields, aiming for possible future applications including quantum computing, electronic devices and...

A2BB’O6 double perovskites are an important family of materials, with spintronic properties found in some examples e.g. Sr2FeMoO6. Although A2+ sites are usually occupied by...

The formation of charge and spin density wave (CDW and SDW) states in metallic systems isdriven by Fermi surface instabilities that are often found to compete with...

We propose to measure the neutron diffraction pattern of a single crystal sample of SrEr2O4, using the WISH diffractometer. As the magnetic Er ions in this compound are linked...

The family of guanadinium metal formates (M=Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu) are isostructural with the perovskites and are therefore of interest for potential applications: in particular,...

This experiment will investigate three related systems which contain copper deficient anti-fluorite-type copper sulfide layers. The overall aim is to correlate magnetic and...

We will probe the response of the magnetic and crystal structures of layered manganese oxide chalcogenides to the oxidation state and the local coordination environment of Mn....

Quantum spin liquids (QSL) are new and exotic states of matter that in 2 dimensions were proposed by Anderson to underpin the transition to unconventional superconductivity of...

Single molecule magnetism is a low temperature phenomenon. Even though there have been thousands of papers published in the area, there are no structural data at all for any...

Materials with nontrivial topological properties (analogous in a general way to the familiar Moebius strip) are a hot topic in current solid state physics. In particular new...

We propose to study an effect of uniaxial pressure on a magnetic structure of triangular antiferromagnet PdCrO2. The experiment will mark a technical milestone in development of...

In a previous WISH experiment, we have succeeded in determining the incommensurate cycloidal magnetic structure of AgFeO2, which induces a ferroelectric polarization[1]....

Pure Ca3Co2O6 is a model system of ferromagnetic Ising chains arranged antiferromagnetically on a triangular net. Furthermore this system has aroused great interest because at...

Ce-based Kondo lattice systems present exotic behavior due to the competing RKKY, Kondo and crystal field interactions. The Kondo lattice CeRuPO, crystallizing in the famous...

The crystal structures of Ba2(Co,Ni)OsO6 compounds have been refined using a combination of high- resolution S-XRD (collected at the Australian Synchrotron) and NPD...

This proposal is part of a project in which we explore the unusual physics of 5d transition metal oxides. Using a special high pressure technique, we have synthesised first...

Magnetic frustration - the inability to mutually satisfy all magnetic interactions in a system - is the source of many interesting phenomena, including spin liquids and ices. In...

We propose measurements of the Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) fraction n0 of solid helium confined in porous media. A superfluid fraction in solid helium in Vycor, in aerogel...

Ferromagnetism in URhGe is continuously suppressed with a magnetic field leading to a Quantum Critical Point (QCP) at around 12 T engulfed by a pocket of superconductivity. The...
