Multiferroic systems have more than one functionality, i.e. ferromagnetism, ferroelectricity, ferroelasticity and ferrotoroidicity. In nature there are few materials that...

The recent discovery of skyrmions and skyrmion lattices in materials with no inversion symmetry and their corresponding potential applications of Skyrmions in magnetic...

Using deep inelastic neutron scattering, we plan to investigate chemical short range order on a quantitative level in liquid alloys and its correlation with the long range mass...

Li2IrSi3 crystallizes to a novel trigonal structure with the space group P31c, which consists of an alternate stacking of planar silicon kagome planes and Li and Ir planes. The...

A new member of the class of S=1/2 triangular lattice quantum spin liquids will be studied with muons. It is obtained by replacing Cu with Ag in the original compound...

Ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMAs) are of recent interest because they exhibit a shapememory effect that can be driven by magnetic fields. Thus, FSMAs are important for...

The controlled folding of individual polymer chains into single-chain polymeric nanoparticles(SCPNs) has received considerable attention over the last couple of years. By...

Praseodymium-based cubic compounds with a 4f2 configuration have attracted much attention. In case the crystalline electric field ground state is a nonmagnetic doublet, the...

We propose to test new apparatus for the magnetic neutron diffraction under uniaxial pressure on WISH diffractometer. The main feature of our apparatus is that the sample is not...

Recent studies of polythiophene using HiFi have suggested that ALC should be a very sensitive probe of the structural state of a polymer via its effect on the spatial extent of...

This proposal continues from a GEM experiment (RB1610430), requesting the use of HRPD to provide, for the first time, crystallographic information for solid Li(MeNH2)4. This...

Catalysts used for water-gas shift reactions, and other important industrial processes, often suffer from deposition of hydrocarbon and carbon species (coking) to reduce their...

Frustrated magnetic materials are interesting because they show unusual behaviour arising from a near-degeneracy of ground states. The magnetic order of MgCr2O4 - apparently...

Magnetic field can penetrate a Type-II superconductor to form a vortex lattice (VL) due to the mutual repulsion between the vortices. VL is very important as it contains rich...

Discovery and development of advanced materials requires understanding and control of the relationship between composition, structure and function. Traditionally, design has...

When a muonium in liquid water encounters with a singlet oxygen molecule, it will go through a different reaction/spin conversion mechanism compared with the known case of the...

We propose to examine the microscopic dynamic properties of a class of solid ion conductors known as ?plastic crystals?. The name ?plastic? reflect the ability of these...

We propose an experiment on the low energy spectrometer LET to study temperature effects on the Luttinger liquid (LL) phase on the spin ladder geometry. The spin ladder material...

Barocaloric materials, in which a large isothermal entropy change is associated with a pressure induced phase transition, offer an alternative to vapour-compression technologies...

Quantum Critical Points in ferroelectrics, where the transition temperature is very near absolute zero, are of significant current interest, with publications in Nature-family...
