Shiomi et al. have prepared a nitronyl nitroxide radical-based compound which has a chiral packing of the molecular units. This is the first discovery of a purely organic chiral...

Nanogranular thin films of FexAg100-x (x=7,15,35) are an excellent system to study the interplay between the nanostructure and the magnetic behaviour, which is triggered by the...

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...

During our previous experiment on HiFi (RB1320541) we measured the ALC spectrum of the Fe2(µ-pdt)(CO)4(PMe3)2 model hydrogenase complex over multiple temperatures. The spectra...

We aim at performing temperature (2-300K) and magnetic field (0-5T) dependent muon SR on a 1X1 cm2 mosaic, made of 4* 5x5x2 mm3 TbMn0.98Fe0.02O3 single crystals (largest area...

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

NMR has become an extremely sophisticated experimental technique because of the use of pulse sequences which allow the control and manipulation of a nuclear spin system or...

One method by which the efficiency of gas turbine engines may be improved is by increasing the gas stream temperature on entry to the turbine. Currently this temperature is...

Ca2RuO4 is a fascinating compound, where strong electronic correlations give rise to many unique features. Just above room temperature (~360 K) the system is metallic, below the...

We propose a study of the magnetic structure of isotopically enriched Gd2Ti2O7. We have successfully grown and characterised large single crystals using low-absorption 160Gd. In...

The proposal develops recent observations on spin-lattice coupling in incommensurate materials (objective - measure influence of applied field on evolution of structural...

Bramwell et al. have provided an elegant demonstration of dynamics in magnetic monopoles in spin ice measured by muons implanted inside the sample. However, it is likely that...

Topological insulators are one of the most important recent discoveries in condensed matter physics. The topological surface state can become gapped when ferromagnetic order is...

For several years, we have been studying the thermodynamics of the metamagnetic phase transition in CoMnSi and substituted versions. Our motivation has been that the...

This proposal describes a muSR experiment on a garnet-type Li ionic conductor, Li6.75La3Zr1.75Nb0.25O12 under electric field (E) in order to study a diffusive behavior under a...

One of the main challenges in spintronics research is to provide a link between magnetic elements and conventional electronic circuits. A novel approach to this old problem is...

A promising candidate for low-cost, high performing permanent magnet materials is the chemically ordered L10 FeNi compound. This phase is only observed naturally in select...

In order to reduce the greenhouse effect, research on fuel cells and particularly on SOFCs has been extensively developed as the only produced waste is water. In situ structural...

Polymer/fullerene blends represent the most common form of organic solar cell. This proposal forms part of a wider effort in which our motivation is to complement solar cell...

This experiment is part of a programme to study the effect of applied electric fields on the structure of biomimetic films formed at Au electrodes, with emphasis on...
