Control of magnetism purely with electric field is a key goal of spintronics as it offers low power alternatives to current computer memory devices. The piezomagnetic effect...

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...

This experiment will probe the evolution of magnetic ordering in Sr2Cr3As2O3, a compound containing Cr3+ moments in Cr2O square layers and Cr2+ moments in CrO2 layers. We will...

Ni-Mn based Heusler alloys are magnetic multifunctional materials currently under intense research efforts thanks to their unique coexistence of a reversible structural...

La3Ni2SbO9 exhibits relaxor ferromagnetic behaviour in an analogous way to relaxor ferroelectrics. To investigate the effect of competing magnetic interactions and subtle...

A prototypical frustrated magnet in which structural disorder plays a key role is SrCr9pGa12−9pO19 (SCGO). It is postulated that structurally ordered SCGO hosts a...

This proposal is to measure the evolution of the magnetic structures of a series of iron oxide chalcogenides and compare the structures as a function of cation sizes and with...

Negative thermal expansion (NTE) materials, the volume of a material abnormally contract with the increase of temperature, is closed related to the magnetovolume effect (MVE) in...

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...

With fantastic flux gains over its liquid conterpart, a solid methane moderator is essential to the newly built Second Target Station at ISIS. Unfortunately, it is notoriously...

Metal-organic framework materials are a family of nanoporous solids that have potential applications in molecular storage, separation and catalysis. Some of these materials show...

The multiferroic perovskite BiFeO3 is the only material that displays both ferroelectric and antiferromagnetic order at RT. Significant efforts are aimed at better understanding...

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...

We have recently discovered a new family of geometric frustrated magnets starting from the parent system, RbFe2F6, with crystallizes in the defect or β-pyrochlore structure...

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...

We are interested in a family of double perovskites which have remarkable properties. One member of this family, Pb2CaOsO6, transitions from behaving like a metal to being...
