Probing the ground state magnetic structure of single crystalline Mn2V2O7
Mn2V2O7 exhibits reversible structural transition from the high temperature monoclinic phase (C2/m) to low temperature triclinic phase (P-1) near room temperature where Mn2+... -
Multiferroic (Ferroelastic/Magnetic) Phase Transitions in KMnF3
KMnF3 perovskite undergoes 3 structural, and two magnetic phase transitions on cooling from 300 K to 2 K. Above 185 K the compound is in the aristotype structure, on cooling... -
Short range order in triglycine sulphate above the phase transition temperature
We want to better understand the intermolecular interactions in deuterated triglycine sulphate (DTGS). DTGS is a hydrogen bonded ferroelectric with a second-order, order... -
Novel quantum spin liquid state in the S=3/2 dimer lattice in Ba3ZnRu2O9
We have discovered a novel type of quantum spin liquid in a hexagonal lattice of Ru5+ dimers in Ba3ZnRu2O9, where any traces of the Curie tail or glassy behavior have not been... -
Spin orientations in epitaxial Mn2Au films for antiferromagnetic spintronics
Mn2Au has garnered a lot of interest as a promising material for the new field of antiferromagnetic spintronics. The symmetry of the crystal and magnetic order, already... -
Complexity in simplicity: disentangling Pb2+ disorder in PbS, PbSe and PbTe
We ask for 5 days on SXD to study the detailed crystal structures of PbS, PbSe and PbTe to resolve long-standing, topical controversies about the detailed behaviour of this... -
Spin excitations in the non-magnetic ground state of In2Ru2O7
Correlated transition-metal oxides with orbital degeneracy such as ruthenates with d4 (S = 1) configuration offer a plethora of unconventional electronic states. Combined with... -
Graphene Surface Functionalisation Effect on Hydrogen Spillover

Vibrational density of states in ammonium hexachlorometallates.
The piloting VESUVIO experiments RB820478, RB610497 on (NH4)2PdCl6 and (NH4)2TeCl6 and RB 10067 on (ND4)2PdCl6 have shown that: (i) the H/D dynamics in NH4+/ND4+ is largely... -
Spin-orbit transitions in CoV3O8
Strong orbital mixing resulting from local distortions in the crystal field can mix higher energy orbital states with the ground state. We propose to characterise this mixing in... -
Effect of oxygen vacancies on the phonon dispersion of pyrochlores
The frustrated magnetism of pyrochlores makes them candidates for applications in magnetic cooling and scientific instrumentation, and the proposal that they can be used to... -
