Quantum Methyl Rotors for Gas Sensing in Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8
We aim to utilise Low-Energy Neutron Scattering (LENS) at OSIRIS to investigate the effects of gas adsorption on the quantum rotation of the methyl groups present in a Metal... -
Probing the microscopic origin of polarization in the magnetoelectric R2BaCuO...
We have synthesized the polycrystalline R2BaCuO5 (R = Dy & Ho) and studied its physical properties. Indeed, both the studied compounds exhibit the polarization below rare... -
Magnetic structure of Ca2-xLaxRuO4 and Ca2-xPrxRuO4: impact of electron dopin...
Although the systems of choice for the study of electronic correlations have traditionally been 3d transition metal oxides, the interest has recently been extended to 4d and 5d... -
Investigations of the magnetic structure in the isotropic S = 1 kagome antife...
Exotic electronic states are of great interest to fundamental science, such as the quantum spin-liquids (QSLs) which were theorised to behave like a sea of resonating spin... -
Pressure induced magnetic phases in non-collinear antiferromagnet Mn3Ge singl...
The interest in the noncollinear antiferromagnet Mn3Ge was stirred by the recent observation ofan anomalous Hall effect (AHE) driven by nonvanishing Berry curvature, which... -

Solving the magnetic structure of ruthenium based 2H-perovskites
The variant of the Hexagonal perovskite oxides are characterised by chains of trigonal prisms and octahedra, leading to a number of fascinating properties. Using resonant x-ray... -
Investigations of some ruthenates with extended superexchange pathways
The superexchange interaction - in which the intervening oxygen mediates magnetism between two partially filled d shells- is well described by the semi-empirical... -
Understanding magnetodielectric behaviour of Tb2BaNiO5 using Neutron Diffract...
The coupling between magnetic and electric degrees of freedom, in a single phase compound has been of intense research in recent literature, as the outcome would yield novel... -

Cu2OSeO3 belongs to a family of magnetic crystals that displays unique properties of a whirlpool like vortex of magnetic moments (skyrmions) in a small range of temperature and... -
Magnetism and electronic structure of 3d 5d double perovskites
Emerging technologies require increasingly unusual functional materials and so understanding the origins of complex magnetic and electronic behaviour, and how these can be... -
Diamond anvil cell for a combined X-ray and neutron diffraction study of glycine
High pressure is a powerful thermodynamic tool, like temperature, to vary the properties and structure of materials. X-ray and neutron diffraction can be used to measure certain... -
Investigation of Crystal and Magnetic Structures in high pressure synthesized...
Three new doubly ordered perovskites NaYMWO6 (M=Mn, Co & Ni) have been synthesized by high pressure and high temperature. Analysis of room temperature laboratory X-ray... -
