The origin of ultra-low thermal conductivity in the thermal barrier material ...
Thermal barrier materials are used in modern turbines to enable them to run above the melting temperature of the turbine blades. However, to go to higher temperatures (and... -
Magnetic fluctuations and ordering in two-dimensional and ferromagnetic Cr2Ge...
The proposal requests time to measure the magnetic fluctuations in a 2 dimensional ferromagnet where the dimensionality is set by weak van der Waals forces. We have previously... -

Inelastic neutron scattering study of exchange disorder in CaFe2O4 and CaFe1....
We would like to investigate polycrystalline CaFe2O4 which undergoes two magnetic transitions to a B phase below 190 K and to a A phase below 160 K. Both phases coexist in a... -
Detailed Measurements of the Crystalline Electric Field of Shastry-Sutherland...
We are proposing to accurately map out the crystal electric field (CEF) levels in NdB4, ErB4 and HoB4 using MARI. These compounds belong to a family, REB4, which is a rare... -
Spin-wave study of a new pyrochlore Heisenberg antiferromagnet - Gd2Pt2O7
We propose a study of the spin-waves of a newly synthesised AF pyrochlore antiferromagnet, Gd2Pt2O7 on LET in zero field. Previous polarized neutron diffraction experiments on... -

Rattling modes in new thermoelectrics
NaxCoO2 has an exceptional combination of thermoelectric properties, including low thermal conductivity, and it is currently under consideration for use in power recovery and as... -
Tuning confinement potential of spinons in an Ising chain using magnetic fields
The Ising chain realises the fundamental paradigm of spin fractionalization, where locally flipping a spin creates two kinks (spinons) that can separate away at no energy cost,... -
Spin Excitations and "Hourglass" Dispersion in the Model High-Tc superconduct...
The unique "hourglass"-type dispersion observed within several classes of hole-doped cuprates has garnered considerable theoretical and experimental interest. Here we propose to... -
