20 years ago, Anderson proposed that the thermoelastic properties of the dominant (mantle) phase within the Earth, MgSiO3 perovskite, could be described as a simple Debye solid....

In this proposal we would like to study the structure of polar aprotic and aromatic liquids using H/D and 15N/*N isotopic labelling on SANDALS. The molecules chosen for study...

As part of a project to develop new electronic materials based on the coupling of electronic and structural properties in new perovskites we have been investigating the...

The proposing team has a well established experience in the use of INS on samples containing molecular hydrogen. Our recent experimental results on various types of H2 clathrate...

The quasi-kagome Kondo lattice CeRhSn exhibits quantum criticality induced by geometrical frustration. Divergent Grüneisen ratios provide evidence for a zero-field QCP. The...

Our recent WISH study of the low temperature longe range ordered magnetic structure of the Fe19 single molecule magnetic system with S=35/2 produced an easy spin axis that is at...

We propose to explore the spin dynamics in LiNiVO4, a system which we believe is a previously unobserved realization of a random distribution of 1D antiferromagnetic Heisenberg...

Recent investigations into spin ice suggest excitations that behave like magnetic monopoles, this has included a transverse field muon experiment. When zero field muon...

Recently we have investigated three new ternary intermetallic compounds PrTSi3 (T = Ir, Rh and Ru) which form in BaNiSn3-type tetragonal structure. The susceptibility exhibits...

We are currently investigating Haldane spin-chain compounds [PRB 2017] of the type R2BaNiO5 (R = rare earth) using bulk measurements and have found the multifunctional...

Repolarisation and level crossing resonance will be studied for several different oxalate compounds where muon radical states are known to be formed. Such compounds form a...

Nd2Ir2O7 stands out as a fascinating system among pyrochlore iridates because of its potential for realizing a new topological semimetal state which its emergence strongly...

The combination of magnetic frustration and low magnetic moment leads to non-classical magnetic behaviour such as spin liquid states. We have prepared polycrystalline samples of...

RT2Al10 is a new series of rare-earth-based ternary aluminide compounds that show a variety of magnetic phenomena. This proposal is for a muSR study on three of its members to...

Organic solar cells are of great interest, due to their relative cheapness and ease of fabrication. Unfortunately the efficiency of the devices is much lower than the...

In the present project we will focus on critical behaviour of Cu3(pyrazine)[W(CN)8]2 revealing magnetic phase transition at Tc=43 K. The findings will be compared to those...

The intermetallic family R5T4 (R = rare earth, T = Si or Ge) exhibit a wide range of magnetic phenomena (eg., magnetic order, GMR, and enhanced magnetocaloric effect) which are...

Tb2Ti2O7 is a pyrochlore antiferromagnet that has previously been viewed as a spin liquid. This description fails to describe key features of its physics and more recently the...

The topological insulating materials doped with the magnetic impurity recently attracts special attention for the spintronic applications, where possible coexistence of magnetic...

Using NMR spectroscopy, the possible existence of a new magnetic state has been suggested to exist in LaFeAs1-xPxO (for x near 0.5); however, other groups failed to detect any...
