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...

Manganese oxides have attracted great interest in solid-state physics research owing to the diverse range of electronic ordering phenomena. Pb3Mn7O15 is a relatively...

Polar A2BSbO6 oxides with the Ni3TeO6 structure type (space group R3) are being investigated as possible ferroelectrics. Ni2ScSbO6 is reported to have incommensurate helical...

We propose to perform neutron diffraction experiment under high pressure condition, using a single crystal of CuO on WISH beamline. This monoxide is known as a multiferroic...

Iridium oxides are of interest because many novel magnetic phases have been predicted in crystals, depending on the geometry of the crystal lattice. Our proposal concerns two...

Experiments (many at ISIS) using crystallographic methods, total scattering, inelastic neutron scattering and theory have provided a detailed picture of the origin of strong...

A relaxor ferroelectric exhibits a net polarisation only in an applied electric field due to the co-alignment of polar nanoregions. In La3Ni2SbO9 we found the magnetic...

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...

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 experiment will study the magnetic structure in the complex boride Mn3Co20B6. Substitutions in this compound makes it possible to tune the magnetic properties, thus, making...

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...

The composition Ni2.04Mn1.4Sn0.56 belongs to the group of metamagnetic shape memory alloys and it shows multiple magnetic phases as a function of temperature. In a recent muon...

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

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...

Ferroelectricity in type-II multiferroics is induced by breaking of inversion symmetry by certain type of spin structure below the magnetic ordering temperature. Therefore, a...

The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and the WISH instrument team has worked together to enable simultaneous real-time high resolution (powder and single crystal) neutron...

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...
