Multiferroics - where ferroelectric and magnetic orders co-exist - continue to be of technological and scientific importance, and of particular interest are the improper...

Based on old data and the recent litterature, we suspect the existence of a poorly documented low temperature magnetic phase transition (T<30K) in colossal magnetoresitve...

Non-coplanar magnetic orders in metallic helimagnets have been of great interest since the discovery of a vortex-like spin-swirling object called "skyrmion" and the resulting...

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...

Test of the NIMS low temperature pressure cell on WISH.

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

Hexaferrites are well known for their applications as permanent magnet and memory devices. In recent years, the interest in hexaferrite has grown from the point of view of...

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...

Negative thermal expansion (NTE) materials, the volume of a material abnormally contract with the increase of temperature, is closed related to the magnetovolume effect (MVE) in...

Exchange bias (EB) effect, characterized by a shift of the hysteresis loop along the magnetic field axis, has attracted considerable attention because of its significance in...

The aim of the present proposal is to experimentally investigate the magnetic order below Tc in the cubic quasicrystal approximant Au5.027Si1.307Tb, which orders ferro- or...

Metal-organic framework materials are a family of nanoporous solids that have potential applications in molecular storage, separation and catalysis. Some of these materials show...

Multiferroic materials, where there is a strong coupling between magnetic and electric order parameters, offer a route to novel voltage-controlled spintronics. Y-type...

A-site ordered quadruple perovskites, AA’3B4O12, show many interesting physical and chemical properties, for example, inter-site charge transfer and disproportionation, giant...

We are interested in a family of double perovskites which have remarkable properties. One member of this family, Pb2CaOsO6, transitions from behaving like a metal to being...

Our previous study indicates the possible existence of a new modulated magnetic structure in pure Tb and its diluted Y alloys. Here we plan to take advantage of the capability...

Our aim is to study with high resolution neutron powder diffraction the two orthorhombic phases of Mn2TeO6 at RT, so as to understand the origin of the observed structural...

Perovskite oxides exhibit a large array of interesting electronic properties. Owing to their difficult synthesis (requiring extremely high pressures) the MOsO3 Osmates offer a...

In recent years, there has been a large research interest in noncentrosymmetric systems in part due to the exotic physics these systems display. Examples of chiral magnets...

The new compound Bi2CoTiO6 is synthesized using high pressure - high temperature techniques. Its properties were characterized by X-ray diffraction, magnetic measurements, and...
