Understanding the magnetism in iron pnictides is one of the most important steps to reveal the mechanism of superconductivity in these novel materials. In the extensively... -
1D Spin-1/2 Chain Dispersion of Magnetoelectric CuO
We propose to measure the high energy magnetic dispersion of CuO. At high energies, CuO exhibits quasi-1D spin-1/2 chain magnetic behaviour. Our previous studies have revealed... -

Ageing Effects in Polymer Surfactant Films
We have recently reported a remarkably rich range of surface segregation and self-organisation behaviour for surfactants and plasticisers in PVA film. These experiments are... -
High precision measurements of the spin wave dispersion in Yttrium Iron Garnet
Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG) is a material with extremely wide ranging applications, having the narrowest ferromagnetic resonance linewidth of any known material. Despite decades... -
Electronic state of Co3+ in LaCoO3
We will search for spin-orbit transitions of the Co3+ ions in LaCoO3. The ground state is a non-magnetic singlet, but there continues to be a debate about the nature of the... -
Spin-orbit transitions of Co3+ in LaCoO3
In our first measurement of the high energy spectrum of LaCoO3 we observed a signal which is a promising candidate for an electronic transition from the low spin ground state of... -
