Probing the magnetic structure of transition metal pyrovanadates Co2V2O7
We had been given 1 day of beam time on WISH, RB1710144, to investigate the magnetic structure of T2V2O7 (T=Mn, Ni, Co) We performed power neutron diffraction measurements on... -
Magnetic structure determination of PrMn7O12 polymorphs
The AA'$3$Mn$_4$O${12}$ family of manganites with quadruple perovskite structure has recently attracted a lot of interest as a disorder-free model system for many of the... -
Antiferromagnetic domain manipulation in hematite thin films studied by neutr...
We propose to study the antiferromagnetic (AFM) domain structure of 100 nm thick Fe2O3 thin films using WISH. The sample will be magnetically poled to prepare an imbalance in... -
Estimating carbon contents within different phases in hypereutectoid steels
Previous studies have attempted to correlate the results of metallography with neutron diffraction studies on the very high-carbon steels used in Oriental blades, and Indian... -
Neutron diffraction characterization of gallium ferrite thin films
Ga2-xFexO3 (GFO) is a ferrimagnetic magnetoelectric material presenting a Curie temperature above room temperature for x>1.3. It is therefore an interesting candidate for the... -
Diffse scattering Investigation of magnetic correlations in CsCrMgF6
The modified pyrochlores AM2+M3+F6 (A alkali metal ion, M transition metal ion) are a class of highly frustrated materials that have a randomness associated with the positions... -
Crystal and Magnetic structure of CoFe3O5
A recent exciting development in magnetic materials was the discovery of a new iron oxide, Fe4O5, using high temperature and high pressure. A very recent structural study has... -
Investigation of Magnetic Structures in magnetoelectric multiferroic Gd0.5Dy0...
Ferroelectricity in type-II multiferroics is induced by breaking of inversion symmetry by certain type of spin structure below the magnetic ordering temperature. Therefore, a... -
Magnetic order of correlated hourglass fermion candidate Eu5In2Sb5
A new kind of topologically protected electronic state has been predicted in crystals whose surfaces form atomic patterns with certain non-symmorphic symmetries. Eu5In2Sb6 is... -
Investigations of some potentially multiferroic/magnetoelectric rare earth ta...
Multiferroics - where ferroelectric and magnetic orders co-exist - continue to be of technological and scientific importance, and of particular interest are the improper... -
Crystal and Magnetic Structures of Topochemically Oxidised A-site Ordered Mat...
The control of physical properties through cation ordering in perovskites often gives rise to unexpected and desirable functionality. Of particular interest in the preparation... -
Fishing for a new magnetic phase in the Pr1-xCaxMnO3 manganites phase diagram
Based on old data and the recent litterature, we suspect the existence of a poorly documented low temperature magnetic phase transition (T<30K) in colossal magnetoresitve... -
Low-Dimensional Quantum Magnetism in a Molecular Framework
The exotic physics of low-dimensional quantum magnets has recently been highlighted by the award of a Nobel Prize to Duncan Haldane. We have identified the molecular framework... -
Nuclear and magnetic structural investigation of single crystalline and powde...
Recent single crystal work on α-CoV2O6 has found a significant enhancement of the nuclear Bragg peaks on entering the low temperature antiferromagnetic states. This... -
Magnetic-field induced long-range spin order in quantum spin liquid candidate...
Quantum spin liquid (QSL) is a novel state of matter where the spins are highly entangled with one another but fluctuate strongly down to zero temperature. It may be associated... -
Exploring low dimensional magnetism in lanthanide metaborates Ln(BO2)3
Lanthanide metaborates Ln(BO2)3 [Ln = La - Tb] form a monoclinic structure with 1d chains of magnetic Ln3+. Their magnetic properties have not been investigated before and they... -
Magnetic configuration of an epitaxial thin film of U2N3
UN is a prominent advanced nuclear fuel, due to its high uranium density and good thermal conductivity. However, its dissolution in water is worse than that of UO2 and is... -
High field study of multipiezo Pb2MnO4
Manganese based oxides are of great interest for both spintronic and multiferroic applications.Pb2MnO4 crystallizes in the acentric but non-polar space group P-421c which allows... -
Spin correlations and order in titanates exhibiting spin Jahn-Teller antiferr...
The spin Jahn-Teller effect stabilises 3D magnetic order in an otherwise frustrated system via magnetoelastic coupling, spontaneously at the magnetic phase transition. Examples... -
Magnetic structure of a novel quantum magnet
Preliminary bulk measurements show that Ba(TiO)Cu4(PO4)4 is a potentially exciting candidate for studies of low-dimensional magnetism. However, currently relatively little is...
