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...

In recent years there has been a growing interest in modifying the anion lattice of complex transition metal oxides, via topochemical manipulation, to tune the magnetic and...

New layered perovskite compounds LaBaFeMnO5 and LaBaFeMnO6 were recently synthesized. They may be useful for future oxygen storage applications. Fe-Mössbauer spectroscopy has...

CeFe2Al10 belongs to CeT2Al10 family (T: Ru, Os, Fe), which exhibits Kondo insulating behavior, with an unusual competition of strongly anisotropic crystal-field and exchange...

We propose to perform neutron diffraction experiments on single crystals, 3R-AgFeO2 and 2H-AgFeO2 on WISH. Recently, we have studied magnetic orderings and ferroelectricity of...

The proposal is dedicated to the first magnetic unconventional clathrate EuNi2P4. By resolving the low-temperature (below 15K) nuclear and magnetic strucutres we should be able...

Lead based oxides are wildly used in material science in order to obtain non-centrosymmetric structures that eventually lead to polar or piezoelectric distortion, which coupled...

Our objective is to determine how changes in symmetry affect the magnetic ground state of spin-1 magnets. Low-dimensional S=1 systems are believed to support rich phase diagrams...

Both 1D physics (dimensional frustration) and geometric frustration offer ways of achieving unusual quantum ground states that defy the usual tendency for systems to order at...

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...

The crystal structure of PrFe2Al8 consists of a network of Al which forms quasi cage-like structure where the Pr and the Fe form chains of atoms along the c-axis. We propose...

Incommensurate magnetic phases generated by frustrated magnetic exchange interactions can stabilise novel induced magnetoelectrics. We have recently found that the...

For the RMn3O6 manganites, we have shown that tuning A-B exchange, by choice of A-site cation or by doping magnetic impurities, gives rise to dramatically different magnetic...

Yttrium iron garnet Fe3Y5O12 (YIG) is the material of choice for spin Hall related effects, magnonics, inter alia and has been used in microwave applications for many years....

Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) are new and exotic states of matter characterised by fractionalised excitations and macroscopically degenerate ground states. The S=1/2 kagome...

Recently we have investigated magnetic and quadrupolar ordered states of YbRu2Ge2 using zero-field muon spin relaxation (µSR), neutron diffraction and inelastic neutron...

In recent years there has been a large interest in geometrically frustrated magnetic systems, especially those with spins interacting on two-dimensional triangular lattices...

The electronic dispersion of "Dirac" materials such as graphene and topological insulators is linear, resulting in a variety of peculiar electronic properties. In graphene and...

In oder to understand our universe, we built large research facilities such as the LHC in Switzerland, which can be used to find new particles. In the solid state, such...

Multiferroics - where ferroelectric and magnetic orders co-exist - continue to be of technological and scientific importance, and of particular interest are the improper...
