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...

Materials exhibiting giant magnetocaloric effect (i.e. the large temperature change under a magnetic field variation) are the most promising type for magnetic refrigeration....

We propose to study the antiferromagnetic (AFM) domain structure of 100 nm thick Fe2O3 thin films using WISH. The sample will be magnetically poled to prepare an imbalance in...

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

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...

Based on old data and the recent litterature, we suspect the existence of a poorly documented low temperature magnetic phase transition (T<30K) in colossal magnetoresitve...

Non-coplanar magnetic orders in metallic helimagnets have been of great interest since the discovery of a vortex-like spin-swirling object called "skyrmion" and the resulting...

Test of the NIMS low temperature pressure cell on WISH.

Understanding the magnetic structure of the perovskite manganites has been a significant field of research over the past 20 year due of their numerous technologically relevant...

The NH4M(formate)3 (M = Mn, Fe, Co and Ni) series are the most promising members of a new family of multiferroics in which ferroelectric ordering is driven by hydrogen-bonding...

This proposal requests time to investigate the influence of an applied magnetic field on the oxyselenide Pr2O2Fe2OSe2. A metamagnetic transition involving ordering of Pr3+...

Hexaferrites are well known for their applications as permanent magnet and memory devices. In recent years, the interest in hexaferrite has grown from the point of view of...

Ni-Mn based Heusler alloys with composition related to the stoichiometry Ni2MnX, with X belonging to the IIIA-VA chemical species, are widely considered as a class of...

Unconventional superconductivity has recently been suggested in the new class of iron-based superconductors in which unusual gap symmetries have been observed together with...

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...

The interplay between orbital order and magnetism in insulating manganites has been extensively studied following the seminal neutron diffraction experiments of Wollan and...

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

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...
