The late first row transition metal monoxides are the canonical antiferromagnets. Their magnetic structures were first determined many decades ago but contemporary studies have...

Exchange bias (EB) effect, characterized by a shift of the hysteresis loop along the magnetic field axis, has attracted considerable attention because of its significance in...

We will carry out a definitive local structure investigation of the ferroelectric transition in [ND4][Zn(DCOO)3]. This compound is seen as the canonical example of a...

The perovskite-like family of ammonium formate frameworks AB(HCO2)3, where A is a divalent metal ion and B is an (alkyl)ammonium or guanadinium, is of great interest for its...

Magnetic equiatomic alloys (MEAs) of the general formula MM'X (M, M' = transition metals, X = Si, Ge, Sn) undergo magnetostructural transition of martensitic type on cooling...

One of the major themes in solid-state physics is the realisation of exotic types of relativistic electrons which travel at speeds much slower than the speed of light. These...

ZrMn2H3 is a Laves Phase intermetallic hydride with interesting materials properties - unlike most Laves Phases, the parent alloy ZrMn2 is not a line phase but has a wide range...

Tetrahedrites are minerals which consist largely of earth-abundant and environmentally-friendly elements (copper and sulfur). This family of materials is attracting much...

A-site ordered quadruple perovskites, AA’3B4O12, show many interesting physical and chemical properties, for example, inter-site charge transfer and disproportionation, giant...

Our previous study indicates the possible existence of a new modulated magnetic structure in pure Tb and its diluted Y alloys. Here we plan to take advantage of the capability...

Magnetic equiatomic alloys (MEAs) of the general formula MM'X (M, M' = transition metals, X = Si, Ge, Sn) undergo martensitic transition on cooling from high temperature....

This experiment will probe the evolution of magnetic ordering in compounds with square planar Cr2+ ions in CrO2 oxide layers, and the interaction of these moments with Mn2+ and...

Within the framework of multifunctional materials showing the presence of both magnetic and electrical properties, the lead¿based double perovskites Pb2BB¿O6 are recognized as...

Because of the potential applications of multiferroicity, the discovery of a new multiferroic (MF) material is invariably met with great enthusiasm in the condensed matter...

Perovskite oxides exhibit a large array of interesting electronic properties. Owing to their difficult synthesis (requiring extremely high pressures) the MOsO3 Osmates offer a...

Research into the quadruple perovskite manganites has expanded, owing to recent discoveries of technologically relevant properties and entirely novel electronic states. Through...

Multiferroic materials which exhibit both magnetic and electric ordering offer the potential application in data storage, spintronics, and microelectronics. To date the most...

The magnetoelectric Y-type hexaferrites demonstrate coupling between magnetism and electric polarisation in relatively small applied magnetic fields, and are hence candidate...

In recent years, there has been a large research interest in noncentrosymmetric systems in part due to the exotic physics these systems display. Examples of chiral magnets...

The new compound Bi2CoTiO6 is synthesized using high pressure - high temperature techniques. Its properties were characterized by X-ray diffraction, magnetic measurements, and...
