Universal Quantum-Critical Dynamics of a Two Dimensional Antiferromagnet
We have recently discovered a pressure-induced quantum phase transition (QPT) at 4.3 kbar in the gapped quantum magnet piperazinium hexachlorodicuprate (PHCC) by means of... -
The structure of methane water fluid mixtures at high pressure
We have recently discovered that above 2 GPa in the liquid/fluid forms water and methanebecome miscible in proportions up to 33 mole% of methane. This proposal is for time to... -
A detailed study of magnetic diffuse scattering in a low-dimension ferromagne...
We have carried out detailed investigations on the ferromagnetic (FM) Kondo lattice CePdSb, in polycrystal as well as single crystal form (TC=17.5K) using magnetization, neutron... -
The coupling of spin and charge correlations in La2-xSrxCuO4
Charge density wave (CDW) order has recently been established as a generic feature of high-temperature cuprate superconductors. It occurs near 1/8 doping and has been observed... -
Dynamic spin correlation length in the hedgehog spin vortex phase and superco...
Magnetism is believed to play an important role in many quantum phenomena such as superconductivity and nematicity in iron-based superconductors. One of the signatures is that... -
Interface anisotropy in exchange coupled magnetic multilayers
The recent explosion of research into magnetic multilayers (MM) has been largely due to the discovery of giant magneto resistance and the associated spin transfer torque effects... -
Magnons in the two dimensional Ising antiferromagnet, FePS3
We wish to study the magnon dynamics in FePS3, which appears to be a good approximation of a two-dimensional Ising magnet on a honeycomb lattice with spin 2. Numerous theory... -
PNR determination of magnetic interface states and exchange coupling in hybri...
The atomic interfaces between ferromagnetically ordered thin films with perpendicular anisotropy and either films with magnetically ordered in-plane anisotropy or a non-magnetic... -
A high pressure study of halogen-bonded chain structures
We propose a high-pressure neutron diffraction study of the halogen-bonded complexes 1, 4-dioxane X2, where X = Br & I. These are two of the simplest halogen-bonded... -
PNR determination of magnetic interface states in ultrathin FePt/FeRh films
We propose to use polarized neutron reflectivity (PNR) to investigate the structural and magnetic properties of thin (< 10nm) exchange coupled FePt/FeRh films. FePt/FeRh is... -
Quantum entanglement in coupled antiferromagnetic molecular rings.
Arrays of weakly coupled spins represent an ideal playground for investigating quantum entanglement. In particular, supramolecular complexes containing linked molecular... -
Multimagnon and intra-band excitations in the Spin-1 Haldane chain
The spin-1 Heisenberg antiferromagnetic (HAFM) chain is a canonical model system in quantum magnetism. The existence of the Haldane gap to the lowest energy excitations has been... -
Crystal and magnetic structure of the polar ferrimagnet BaCaFe4O7
Polar or non-centrosymmetric ferri(-o)magnets offer a plethora of potential technological devices; the inherent magnetoelectric effect can underpin both pyroelectric or... -
Superconductivity in the half-Heusler alloys RPdBi (R=Lu,Er)
These half-Heusler compounds are also semi-metals, with low carrier densities and non-trivial topological features. The crystal structures are also non-centrosymmetric, which is... -
Glassy dynamics in a model-system: the monoclinic phase of tetrachloromethylx...
Many features commonly exhibited by canonical glass-formers can also be found in systems exhibiting translational long-range order. Orientationally disordered-crystals (or... -
Superconductivity and itinerant ferromagnetism in d-band metal Y9Co7: A muon ...
The understanding of the pairing mechanism in unconventional superconductors is a major theoretical challenge. Recent results [PRB 91, 235314 (2015)] designate a local... -

Crystal Electric Field (CEF) Effect in Ce2Zr2O7 Pyrochlore
In recent years, there has been a great interest in quantum spin liquid (QSL). The QSL state is characterized by no conventional order parameter associated with a broken... -
Determining the Induced Magnetism in Graphene by Polarised Neutron Reflectivity
This proposal aims to unambiguously understand the proximity effect between graphene and a transition metal using Polarised Neutron Reflectivity (PNR) measurements at the POLREF... -
Spin Frustration in Iridate Systems, and the Role of the Spin-Orbit Coupling
We propose to investigate the roles of the spin-orbit interaction and geometrical frustration in stabilising a quantum spin liquid phase (QSL) in some iridate systems. µSR is a...
