Both a natural mineral and quantum magnet, azurite is a candidate model of the so-called Distorted Diamond Chain system. Such a system should theoretically exhibit spin-1/3...

Quantum phase transitions have recently received a lot of interest in various different fields of physics and the emergent universal properties have been studied in very...

Recent high resolution spectroscopy has found countable and discrete excitations in the two dimensional magnet CaFe2O4. This work aims to track these excitations to higher...

Mixtures of colloidal particles of essentially two different sizes are commonly used in technological applications such as film formation on surfaces, paper coatings, etc....

Ce3Co4Sn13 is a cubic heavy Fermion system which resides close to a magnetic instability.Under ambient conditions Ce3Co4Sn13 exhibits an extremely large (4 J/mol Ce K2) peak in...

The proposal requests time on OSIRIS to measure the low-energy magnetic fluctuations in CeRhSi3. This compound is a noncentrosymmetric superconductor under pressures of ~10...

Evidence of long-range order has been observed in the diffuse neutron scattering data for a single crystal of HoTbTi2O7.A spin ice like pattern and pinch points coexist with the...

The growth in both global demand for energy and fossil-fuel related environmental issues drive research on alternative fuel sources. Solid oxide fuel cells, which can operate on...

LiErF4 is an example of an XY dipolar coupled antiferromagnet with planar anisotropy. As such it exhibits a quantum phase transition (QPT) in a small field of 4kOe, which is of...

The ground state of the single layer half-doped manganite Pr0.5Ca1.5MnO4 has the canonical CE antiferromagnetic charge- and orbitally-ordered (CO-OO) structure characteristic of...

With fantastic flux gains over its liquid conterpart, a solid methane moderator is essential to the newly built Second Target Station at ISIS. Unfortunately, it is notoriously...
